Strange things become about, a mystery being put forth and here she meets her destiny. Bill and Abbi are taken into a world at Collier that they never thought could ever exist, filled with spirits, immortals entwining with the modern world with post civil war of Collier.*Collier being the plantation that has haunted Abbi's dreams her whole life **Along the way Abigail finds out who she was in her past life, and her destiny as the keeper of the gates. With an array of friends to help protect her against the evil that lurches Abigail and William are sent on a journey that could possible last a lifetime.My Thoughts!!Wow, if you're a lover of fantasy, travel , and world filled with spirits and immortals this is certainly a treat for you.  Elizabeth has meshed post Civil War and today's modern society into her story creating a complete world of her own. Interesting, intriguing and very cleverly woven throughout.Immortals that have lived years: many years- protecting the house and awaiting there gate keeper  and Collier from intruders. Collier Manson protecting itself from anyone not destined to enter. This alone was fascinating!!!I'm sure the array of mystery in *Phantom Lives* will certainly keep your interest piqued throughout.  Elizabeth has created characters twists and turns that will have you mind boggled and also wandering in which direction Abbi's destiny is headed and if she will survive the evil clutches. Moments where you're gasping, very intrigued and also curious as to where Phantom lives is headed.The world building was very unique and cleverly scripted, giving us fantasy, and immortals and a world entirely of its own - two worlds entwining !! ...A story that flows from beginning to end, we switch back and forth in some stages throughout, between both worlds - you must pay attention here lol.. You don't want to miss a thing - but a definite must read. Filled with a cast of characters I'm sure you will enjoy twists and turns, and a fulfilling new world entirely of its own for the reader to enjoy!! It is delivered to us with post civil war but this meshes well within the storyline giving us past, history and also a new beginning with Abbi being the missing link.
