Cassie's life had never been simple. Born in Norwich in the UK, she'd lost her mother when she was nine and had been raised by her Grandad ever since. Even before then, sensations of events from the past had impinged on her life so much that they'd almost become normal. The ghosts, especially the persistent one on the buses, and disembodied voices were bad enough but then, one day, while visiting a local shopping centre, the past literally crashed in on her, leading to the start of a rather strange adventure. PLEASE NOTE: This novel is now available as both a paperback and an eBook. For that reason I have had to remove it from Wattpad (apart from the first few teaser chapters). If you were in the process of reading it then please either go to https://www.vivadjinn.com or https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/1913873021 to obtain a copy of the final version in paperback or, for a Kindle ebook version, go to https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B08JS9DWPX instead. Thanks to all those who read, voted and commented on it here on Wattpad. The printed/ebook version incorporates a number of improvements.
