On the day of their parent's death, Becky and her older siblings, Bobbi and Barbara, discover they have inherited a little known ability--the ability to see ghosts. Once the ghosts in the area of Ashville,NC find out there are new mediums in the area they flock to them. Bobbi and Barbara are not thrilled with this little ability especially when they can see their parents on a daily basis. So they find ways to hobble their gift. Becky embraces her ability and takes to this new ability. Unfortunately she gets inundated with ghosts ghosts and more ghosts. Then one morning her 16 year old crush, who disappeared the night of her 16th birthday party only to be found dead the next day, appears before her. But to her chagrin he doesn't realize he's dead. Now she is on a mission to discover what happened to him so she can help him cross over. Along the way she discovers there is another ghost tied to Josh and she needs to help him also.
Kathleen Britt does a remarkable job of presenting the characters.

This was a bit different and not what I expected, but I enjoyed it and couldn't wait to see how it ended. I was happy that some justice was finally served and the soul could move on. I liked that her brother was finally willing to accept his gift and responsibilities. I voluntarily listened to a free copy of this and am giving an honest review. The narrator did a good job.

A Medium’s Birthday Surprise

Becky and her siblings all started manifesting special abilities after an event that affected them all. Each handles them differently. When Becky gets a surprise visitor on her birthday, it ends up being a lot more than what she ever expected. Will she be able to help?

I really enjoyed this paranormal cozy mystery by Chariss K. Walker. It’s a great start to the series with the introduction of the characters and their relationships. I’m looking forward to more.

Kathleen Britt did a fine job with the narration. She performed it well and I had no issues with it.

An Enjoyable Listen

I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request, and have voluntarily left this review. It's your birthday and your greeted by an old boy friend while having breakfast...too bad that he's been dead for 10 years. It really shouldn't have shocked Becky, her and her siblings and see and speak to the dead. But it does and now she has a mystery to solve. A very enjoyable series, the characters are unique, adding to the suspense filled plot in this action filled, and at times humourous tale.

Ghost whisperer

A Medium’s Birthday Surprise is the first book in the Becky Tibbs: A North Carolina Medium’s Mystery Series series by Chariss K. Walker. When our main character, Becky, is visited on her birthday by the angry spirit of her long disappeared ex-boyfriend, who is clearly dead now, she must find a way to help it pass on into the next world and make justice in his name in this one. You see? Becky is a medium and she helps the community by using her skills to put restless spirits to peace.

Actor and narrator Kathleen Britt reads this cozy mystery with a touch of paranormal in all calm and reassuring voice. She keeps the listener interested in the story and brings all the characters to life with her unhurried performance. I think that this story could have benefited more from a younger narrator, with all due respect to Kathleen, but it wasn’t something that detracted too much from the immersion and all in all it was a good audio production.

Well written, easy to follow and driven by an interesting mystery, a medium’s birthday surprise by Chariss K. Walker is quite an enjoyable narrative experience with which you can snuggle up in your happy spot for a few hours in any of these long, moody, December nights. This is a promising first book in a series that I think I will check out in the future to see how Becky is doing.

A Ghost Story Cozy

This story is about Becky Tibbs, who is a medium, which is defined as a person who is thought to have the power to communicate with the spirits of the dead. Becky uses this gift to help the ghosts that she interacts with. The story is both charming and entertaining without being overtly graphic. Kathleen Britt's narration is good and her voice is clear. I was given a free copy of the audiobook and I have voluntarily left this review.

A Medium's Birthday Surprise

I really enjoyed this book! Becky Tibbs is a sweet, kind-hearted person. She is ready to help any friend, family member, or ghost in their time of need. Even though her siblings have the same abilities for being a medium, Becky seems to be the only one who really embraced those skills and put them to good use. It was a quick read that kept my interest.
She is a real treat and I hope to read the others in this series soon!

Good start to this series

I liked the story, the interaction between the family members and the setting. The narration, however, could have been better. It just sounded like she was reading and wasn't part of the book. When I listen to a book I like to really get into it and this narrator wouldn't allow me to do that. There were a lot of serious situations in this story but all through the book it felt more like she was just telling me about it instead of me feeling like I was there watching. I believe this is going to be a very good series and I enjoy stories about mediums and their experiences. I was voluntarily provided this review copy audiobook at no charge by the author, publisher and/or narrator.
