After reading the blurb for this book, I originally thought it would be a somewhat religious read, I couldn't have been further off had I tried!!!Emily Rainn is a young lady looking for a job.John Crawford or JC for short is a Lovely older gentleman, looking for someone special to continue on his work.Walter is the butler/spirit maker/bodyguard ( you can see where I'm going with this!)The tale of these three is a beautiful journey of imagination and spirit.I almost felt like I was reading a new and improved version of ' Alice in wonderland'"ISN'T IT TRUE THAT A WELL-READ BOOK SEEMS MORE ALIVE TO YOU, MS RAINN?"Giving Bottled spirit a brand new meaning, this book sucks you into the world of the unknown, the world of the imagination, the world of fantasy.I enjoyed the relationship between the characters, they were very natural, It flowed effortlessly.After learning the real reason behind the job, Emily must decide if this is something she wishes to be a part of. After the first session I was excited to find out what was happening.When Meredith the local librarian and member of the 'Sisterhood' comes to confront JC on his use of local public books, things take an unexpected turn. Coming face to face with some not so friendly spirit crushers leaves the trio in a bad way, somewhat, deep inside the fear of themselves. But all is not as it seams <--- this seems to be the theme of the book!Enter Edmund Ellis. I didn't agree with the way he went about things, however I understand it. I would want to help anyway I could.Emilys imagination was brilliant. I was right there along side her, with every twist and turn, every new revelation. That dream like state ( or more of a nightmarish one )made for some amazingly detailed story lines. I found myself waiting for this side of the novel more so then, the 'real life' side.I am hoping for more in this series!!I thoroughly enjoyed ' The spirit of imagination '  it's a solid 4 stars!
