Featured Review
MR Review: MR Reveiwer Loretta Sofia hosts a TV show about real life supernatural events called This Old Haunted House. She is back in Juarez, Mexico because of La Llorana, the story of the crying woman of the Rio Grande. The ghost of Maria Suareza is seen walking along the bridge looking in vain for her lost children who it is said, she allegedly murdered for a lover who rejected her when she told him what she had done. In despair she threw herself into the river where she drowned. Sophia hopes to find out exactly who the apparition is and to capture it on film if possible.
She runs into Antonio Valdes who had been her lover six years ago. He is a werewolf, and she has him to thank for her success in television. Until her affair with him, she hadn’t believed in anything paranormal. He is set on seducing her and wants her back in his life. She is afraid because of the secrets that he kept hidden from her. Sofia while at the bridge experiences a paranormal phenomenon. She sees the ghostly figure of Maria Suareza and she watches while another apparition of a tall man with dark hair appears next to Maria. Who is he? Was he the lover who’d rejected her? Why is he there? Sofia soon discovers a connection between Antonio and the female ghost. Could Antonio be the man responsible for Maria’s death, and the death of her three children?
Lauren Blades writes a beautiful story of romance, mystery, and shape shifter werewolves. I was so caught up in the story that I had to finish it. You are drawn into the plot where the characters are truly in love, and where a ghost is tied in with the tale. This is a sad story, but ends in a satisfying and happy way. I truly recommend Sofia’s Lobo to readers that enjoy reading a good ghost story.
