Any non-scary book suggestions about a medium? I find them fascinating, but don’t want anything freaky. TIA
Not quite a medium but I like the Harper Connelly and Midnight Texas series by Charlaine Harris
Hey, do you find scary books scary? Now that I’ve started to read horror, I don’t think it’s as scary as I initially expected. Maybe because it’s non-visual.
I agree. I’m rarely scared by books. The only one I’ve had to set aside is IT, and that was probably 10 years ago. The scene with Beverly in the bathroom freaked me out enough
I like murder mystery, suspense, and crime drama…but nothing sinister or ghostly that is in a scary realm. Make sense? I am fascinated by mediums, but don’t want a book about a medium getting a sinister message or possession or anything like that.
Liz Hoffman oh I see. I always think about ghosts and all that scary stuff when I hear the word medium.
@Anthony I didn’t read the book but I watched the film. I loved it. A few years ago I read Exorcist and I was like it’s ok, but wouldn’t dare to watch the movie. My imagination sucks and in this case, I don’t complain. ?
Leaving Time by Jodi Piccoult
This
Yup
this is the one I was thinking of also.
Between Two Worlds
Definitely ‘Leaving Time’. Was a great read!!
Haunting Violet by Alxandera Harvey
Balm by Dolen Perkins Valdez
I just finished Ghost Orchid that was about mediums. Not scary-interesting mystery
unfinished business by James Van Praagh
&
the light between us by Laura Lynne jackson
If you can find it, I highly recommend “Lilydale: The true story of the town that talks to the dead” by Christine Wicker. It’s about the rise of Spiritualism in the late 1800s and how the town came to be.
It’s still a very active Spiritualist community.

The Extra Large Medium by Helen Slavin.
The Turner House is what I am reading and it is not bad. It is based on a family haint (ghost).
There is an Amazon Kindle series by Terri Reid. They are easy reads and feature a women who solves murders with the help of the dead.
Love those books!! I need to go back and read some more!!
Dean Koontz – Odd Thomas series
This comment isn’t going to help you much but maybe someone here will know what book I’m talking about. I read a book about a psychic that used to have abilities but lost them, and made money off faking it. The book was separated with a few characters, giving their point of view. Once the psychic met one of the other characters, she started to get her abilities back. I cannot remember the author or the name but I do know it was good. I’m sorry if this doesn’t help, but if I think of the name, I’ll reply here.
Ahhh!! It’s Leaving Time! It didn’t click that I had already read it until I did a search (I actually have it on my wish list to read). I read it a long time before I got in this group, and I didn’t realize the book everyone recommends is one in the same as the one I loved months and months ago!
This sounds good but can’t find it on amazon ?
? Really? That’s strange
is it by Jodi picoult?
Yes
aahhh Thankyou x
I downloaded I’m Not Dead, I’m Different by Hollister Rand to my kindle last week. Ms. Rand is a medium and has written a book about children who have contacted her after their death to share their opinions.
House of Velvet and Glass by Katherine Howe
Read the Psychic Eye series by Victoria Laurie- so so good
Beyond Black by Hilary Mantel. Not a detective series but it’s a lovely book wirh mediumship at its core.
The Witch of Lime Street
Charlaine Harris has a fun series starting with Midnight,Texas. Not scary at all but a fun mystery read that has a great medium in it. It was made into a show I believe last year.
Fragile by Lisa Unger
Look into the Shana struthers books .. I have all of them .. they are easy to read .. not scary .. about a group who use their mediumships to rid homes of spirits.. I enjoyed them .. there’s a set of them and she is just bringing our book 5 next week !
The Other Side of Midnight by Simone St. James
Leaving Time by Jodi Picoult
The Forgetting Time by Sharon Guskin
