Melinda James is finally out of Skyview Haven—an asylum where she was confined for years—and is living her life, free at last. However, things are not going as planned; harassed by unexplained paranormal experiences, she doesn’t feel safe in her own home. And when she turns to her best friend Trent for help and support, she is surprised to find her feelings for him have grown far beyond a simple friendship. Trent Miller isn’t prepared to fight evil, but he will do whatever it takes to save Melinda from an evil entity that is seeking revenge for past events. Armed with knowledge gleaned from television shows, a team of paranormal investigators, and the prayers of family and friends, he is ready to face anything. The question is, does he tell her about his feelings for her before or after he fights a battle with evil for Melinda’s very soul?
EXCERPT
“Melinda, what are you
looking at?”
She doesn’t answer, so I
repeat my question.
She finally looks at me and
says in a voice not hers, “You will pay for your father’s sins.”
“What?”
I’m so shocked I almost
fall over. Her voice…its voice…whatever...sounds like a man’s and it definitely
sounds mean.
“You will die,” the voice
says.
My mouth is hanging open
and I’m unable to do anything but stare at Melinda…or whoever or whatever has
taken over her body. I glance around the room to see if another spirit is
present. My heart is beating rapidly and my insides are shaking. My hands are
trembling and my fingers are cold and I’m having difficulty breathing. I want
to run from this room, but know that’s the last thing I can do. It takes me a
few minutes to realize that something must be possessing Melinda. I try to call
out again to her, but can’t find my voice. I have to do something. I finally
find the floor beneath my feet and quickly dart the few steps to her bedside.
“Melinda,” I’m shaking her.
“Leave her alone! Whoever you are, leave her alone!”
“Die,” it whispers and
Melinda’s hands reach up to my throat.
