***Blog Tour Stop*** Soul Scavengers: Wilde and the Witch by Lisagh Winters

Psychic medium Olivia Emerson is young, gutsy, and out to prove she’s got what it takes to hang with the big boys. Although haunted by a past that threatens to consume her, Olivia accepts a job on a snow covered island that could make or break her career. She just needs to keep her past where it belongs- behind her. She knows this job could be her foot in the door, and hopefully the vehicle she needs to break into the business and take the next step up. The only problem; she’ll be working with him.
Paranormal investigator Sullivan Wilde has a healthy dislike for anyone claiming to hear or communicate with spirits. To him, they’re all frauds. He learned firsthand that just because you want to believe, doesn't make it real. 

When Sullivan’s forced to work with Olivia, he’s not happy about it. She exasperates him, pushes his buttons, and doesn't have a shut off valve for that mouth of hers. He doesn't believe in her ‘gift’, and makes no apologies for it. Yet, as much as he tries to deny it, there’s something about Olivia that gets under his skin. The moment they’re left alone on the dock of the island, devoid of living inhabitants, everything changes. Some unhappy spirits, coupled with Olivia and Sullivan’s burgeoning feelings for one another leave them with no choice but to rely on one another if they want to make it through the night. Can Sullivan and Olivia put their differences aside in order to finish the job and walk out alive?

Lesley's Review

Olivia  Emerson is sent to work as a clairvoyant medium with the mysterious Sullivan Wilde on a case that has most people scared. Sully and Ollie bump heads immediately. Sullivan doesn't believe people can talk to the dead and is down right rude to Olivia at times. 

Work is work. Olivia is determined to do the job right. She needs to make a name for herself. Olivia can handle Sullivan.  These two embark on a trip to the frozen north and are shipped out to an isolated island that's screaming with paranormal episodes. These ghosts are trapped by something evil. Something so strong it brings her to her knees. Of course, Sullivan doesn't take her seriously until it's almost to late. 

For me personally, I thought some parts were excellent but it fell short for me. I didn't connect with the main characters all that well. The main story though, was an interesting one, and could have been an epic one.  However, I could not find the connection. Therefor, the depth was not there for me.  I would have to rate this one 2 stars. I encourage those paranormal readers to form an opinion for themselves.  Like I said it had potential maybe you will connect with it where I failed to.

Excerpt 

“You? You’re the clairvoyant?” This had to be a joke somebody was playing on him, and it pissed him right off. He made a mental note to choke Arnav when he got back home. “How old are you, fifteen?” No wonder she took the bus. She was a damned kid, probably too young to drive!
“Nice to meet you, too.” Olivia frowned and followed him around the vehicle. “Fifteen? What are you, blind?”
He gave her an appreciative glance up and down her dripping frame. “Absolutely not, I assure you. So answer the question. Do I need to sign some sort of parental permission slip?” he asked, turning away from her and digging through his pockets for a pen.
