“Having read Books 1 and 2 of The Talking Cure, I was excited to read book 3, and it did not disappoint.”
– Carol Seufert, Educator and Reviewer
The story
All secrets are revealed in this, the third volume of the initial trilogy.
Cynthia and Zach WILL find out what happened to Zach’s old boss Aubrey Lowman. They’ll find out WHY Zach seems so hard to kill these days– and what can actually destroy him. They’ll find out how AND why Zach lost those memories in the first place. Can Zach survive finding out? Can Zach and Cynthia’s relationship survive? The rules and guidelines of the American Psychiatric Association absolutely did NOT prepare Cynthia for anything that she and Zach are about to discover!

Critical praise
What the critics are saying
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“A smooth interweaving of melding of magic and psychiatric care…I’ve never seen anyone doing a series like this, and I look forward to the next one!”
—Amazon reviewer Chris Mennell
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“. . . Even if you have not read the other two books (and you certainly should, for your own enjoyment), this mind-expanding page-turner will transport you into a magical realm.”
—Carol Seufert, Educator and Reviewer
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“The ‘Pepper’s Ghost’ chapter became my favorite chapter in the book. It’s funny, clever, romantic, mysterious, and surprisingly warm. It captures everything that makes The Talking Cure such a compelling series while also standing perfectly on its own as an entertaining supernatural adventure.”
—Michael Stinson, author of the horror graphic novel BITEMARK
