Such a wonderful story
Format: Paperback
Mia knows how to write a book! This one did not disappoint.
Clara moves to New Orleans and has no one. She’s is starting fresh in the city as a ballet dancer. She had to leave her family behind and come alone for health reasons.
Jonah has lived here his whole life. His life used to look a lot different. Successful and handsome he had anything he wanted. Until it all went wrong.
Jonah now spends his life behind the walls of his families plantation. He hides away and regrets some of his life choices. Clara shows up at a wall bordering his plantation to make a wish. Except she makes a wish to help someone else.
Jonah and Clara form a quick friendship and a bond that is strong. As time goes on Jonah realizes he needs to come back to the world and he can make it a better place. He doesn’t need to listen to all the hate. He needs to keep his eyes on those that love him.
This story was so good. It showed how people grow and change and how they fight to do the right thing (most of the time) and want to make those the care about happy. This showed the fight that we all have for love and those we love.
Such a good book!!!

Legends and curses in New Orleans
Format: Kindle
The Wish Collector is a tale of heartbreak and misery. It takes place in New Orleans where legends and Voodoo curses are often used. Locals like to talk about Windisle a place known for it weeping wall where locals make wishes. When Clara stands before the wall she gets more than her wish granted.
…
Jonah is a man scarred by his mistakes. He lived behind the weeping walls. When Clara visits his home he finds a woman who is curious about the past.
…
Mia Sheridan’s passion for this storyline unfortunately was not mine. The writing is enchanting and beautiful. I guess I’m not the intended audience for this tale dating back to 1860. Three timeline: the legend of John and Angelina in 1860, a tragic accident from eight years ago which left Jonah living as a recluse, and the present is a modern day Beauty and the Beast between a young ballerina and a man punishing himself for his choices.
…
Do you ever know within the first few chapters a book that a story will be a middle of the road read? In your mind you’re thinking this is a three star read with the potential of becoming a five star read. Most often I can tell early on when a book is at best not going to be more than average. Unfortunately, that’s how I’m feeling about The Wish Collector. I had high hopes and expectations for this book. I even invested in both the audiobook and ebook. I’ve read quite a few books by Mia Sheridan. This one was on my back list. Some times when authors write from multiple genres I find where I’m stuck on liking some more than others.
…
I hate to say this about Zachary Webber, as the voice of Jonah, didn’t hit its mark. It wasn’t the voice I imagined of Jonah a man living in New Orleans. He grew up in New Orleans and I would imagine he would’ve taken on an accent.
Virginia Rose was the voice of Clara. This is my first time experiencing this narrators performance I enjoyed it. I listened using the audible app. Anytime I can get both the ebook and audiobook together for a great deal I’m going to get both. I’m an eyes and ears person who benefits greatly from the written word and sound of words together to enhance my experience.

6 magical stars -- another favorite from Mia!
Format: Kindle
Clara Campbell is drawn to New Orleans by more than just her new appointment to the New Orleans Ballet Company. But though she is living her dreams, she feels alone and disconnected from everyone around her. In interest in a local legend finds her approaching the Weeping Wall at Windisle Plantation, an abandoned property with a ghost story attached. But as she places her wish in the wall, it is not a ghost that she hears beyond the walls.
Jonah Chamberlain hasn’t left the walls of Windisle in 8 years, long enough that the locals all believe the property abandoned. The walls are all he needs to keep himself apart from the judgement of the public, who watched his decisions lead to a tragedy for which he paid dearly.
Their interactions are separated by a wall, but connected by the story of the lost lovers from so long ago. The ghost story is a safe topic for Jonah, and though he isn’t sure why he is suddenly talking to one of the many visitors to the wall, he finds it impossible to ignore the woman who won’t let him hide any longer.
These two are both so lonely that it doesn’t take much of a connection for them to find further intrigue. But what they find as Clara digs deeper into the plantation’s past keeps her coming back for more, as Jonah debates the merits of letting someone in to his safe-place. Both Clara and Jonah have personal character journeys to face over the course of the book, and for as much as the plot is tied to the past, it is also directly tied to these two characters growing and learning.
The Wish Collector combines contemporary with magic and the past. The historical thread isn’t enough to fully call this a split timeline, but the glimpses of the past are the perfect tie between the history and the present of Windisle Plantation. The legend of ghosts in the assumed abandoned building is intriguing as Clara does what she can to solve the century old mystery.
There were so many pieces to this story that I was still thinking of the connections and bits of magic days after finishing. Part Beauty & the Beast, part Phantom of the Opera, part New Orleans magic, this book is a fantastic mix of elements that inspires and enchants. Once again, Mia Sheridan has crafted a tale that takes my expectations and soars far beyond what I could have imagined.
