“For many years we have wondered about Hans Holzer. Who was he, the initial paranormal investigator before all others came along. Thanks to his daughter, Alexandra, we now have been given insight into Holzer and his family life.
Alexandra gives a clear and concise portrait of her parents, including her mother’s decent from royalty, and we are privileged that she has chosen to share her family history with us. A gifted spiritualist in her own right, Alexandra, understood the need for fans of Dr. Holzer to know more about him.
Look for her star to rise in the paranormal investigative field because she is chock full of knowledge and spirit. This book was a gift to readers, very well-thought out with deep insight and emotional charge flavoring a childhood quite often very different than one might expect to have.
Thank you, Alexandra, for allowing us to get to know you and your family. Your story is both touching and enlightening. The book was terrific and I enjoyed it immensely.”

“As soon as I picked up this book, I could not put it down. I love the way it is written, with the flashbacks, which are haunting, warm, and revealing and the adorable humor of Alexandra, along with the great interviews.
I felt as if I was a part of their family while reading their tales. I recommend this book to anyone who wants to learn more of the great Hans Holzer, Catherine Buxhoeveden, and the strong legacy they came from as well as the one they created. A+ from me! “

“Alexandra Holzer did a wonderful job in writing her memoir. She was gracious in sharing her family history and life experiences with the reader. In addition, it was helpful to obtain background knowledge of the author in understanding what has influenced her beliefs, values, etc. I imagine it would be complex and challenging to grow up with parents who were a paranormal investigator and Countess.
My favorite part of the book was when Alexandra shared her father-daughter moments. This brought to light a side of Dr. Hans Holzer I was not aware of. The historical perspective of the book was touching as she shares her family members’ experiences from the past to the present.
Alexandra is the daughter of Hans Holzer and has chosen to spread her wings and fly independently into the paranormal field. I am pleased she will be the next generation to carry on the Holzer paranormal legacy and look forward to reading her future books.”
