I think Amber Scott is an excellent author and her stories are wide ranging, unique and sensual.  This short novella is no different, but I have to admit, it wasn't the quick little pick me up I was hoping it would be. Because of it's length at just over 900 kindle locations, I can't go deeply into the synopsis without giving the whole story away, but at the end of it all, I heaved a sigh and couldn't help but feel our heroine would never recover from her loss.Sara lost her greatest love, Crew, as a teenager to a car accident.  Many years later, she's on a mini holiday with her best friend Moira and Moira's cousin Kim when she chances upon a little shop called Mystique Antiques.  The shop owner senses Sara's ranging emotions and advises her that each piece in the store has their own unique story and can speak to us in compelling ways.  Sara finds a locket that has two old photos, one photo resembles her and the other looks a lot like Crew.  Sara has always had dreams of Crew, but the magical locket gives her and Crew something more and opens a door for Sara finding closure, not only with what happened to Crew, but also with her relationships leading up to where she is today.It's a beautiful story, poignant and reflective, but also bittersweet.  I would recommend this if you're looking for a quick magical paranormal love story from across the veil, with an ending that doesn't have happily ever after, but an awkward new beginning.
