Creeping. We all do it. We creep our favorite bands, friends on social networks, and even our enemies on social networks. Although, some people take it to the extreme. Have you ever woke up in the middle of the night because you felt that someone was watching you? Well just remember to NOT look out your window.. that was my first mistake. I opened the curtain and instead of seeing my reflection looking back at me I saw a man's. He had the coldest, darkest, and scariest eyes I have ever seen. I closed the curtain and screamed my lungs out. That was only the beginning.

Sequel to The Psychic Next Door. Rachel Vaughn just wants to feel normal again. After narrowly escaping the wrath of the Beast (and its deranged master) returning to an ordinary life seems impossible, especially with her psychic boyfriend Luc around. It doesn't help that Rachel is tortured every night by nightmares... Nightmares that are beginning to bleed into her waking life. The appearance of a ghostly girl -- a girl only she can see -- threatens what's left of Rachel's delicate mind. It doesn't help that her boyfriend Luc thinks it's all in her head, a product of her past trauma and strained nerves. He's psychic after all; wouldn't he know? But as more and more apparitions begin to appear, Rachel begins to doubt Luc's word. These ghostly girls seem to want something from her. With no one on her side, Rachel is forced to go hunting for her own answers. Only, she might not like what she finds... As unsettling and twisted as the first book, The Psychic Within will drag you in and not let you go.

Using one of the brighter minds in the organization, twenty four year old agent Jace Vee is sent to put a dent in the case. But he isn't sent as the lone wolf he really is. Tagging along is his new partner, carefree Axel Crowe, a hotshot junior agent and together they must strike the iron while it's hot before this faceless killer leaves them with yet another cold trail.

"Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as elaborate hairstyles and the wearing of gold jewelry or fine clothes. Rather, it should be of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God's sight." ~1 Peter 3:3-4 "Tu es belle, ma chère, tant à l'intérieur qu'à l'extérieur." Aislyn Palmin is surrounded by beautiful people. Her mother is the owner of a successful modeling agency, and she works for renowned designer, Pierre Darling. But despite being surrounded by beauty, Aislyn doesn't feel beautiful herself. Linc Kingsman is gorgeous and knows it. People love him because he seems perfect on the outside, but the secrets he's hiding make him feel ugly on the inside. Insecurities, imperfections, and inadequacies abound within these two individuals. What does it take to look past these things, and discover the true meaning of beauty? [Quote translated by CMBooks]
