Marie Westbrook finds herself moving back home, only to learn that she is inheriting her dying grandmother's old house. People haven't lived in it in decades, with the rumor that it is 'haunted.' Upon moving in, Marie finds something unexpected... A ghost who has lived within the house walls for over half a century. But instead of fleeing like her great-grandfather had so many years ago, she befriends this 'Mr. Whitlock'. Not only does she learn more about him, but about her grandmother's troubled past as well. And she realizes her family's history is full of secrets...

McGee can't remember anything from being alive and he needs Rose's help. Rose and McGee make a deal to make the ironically predictable stay worthwhile.

The Medium by CjArcher
20 parts Complete
Seventeen year-old spirit medium Emily Chambers has a problem. Actually, she has several. As if seeing dead people isn't a big enough social disadvantage, she also has to contend with an escaped demon and a handsome ghost with a secret past. And then there's the question of her parentage. Being born an entire year after her father's death (yes, a year) and without the pale skin of other respectable English ladies, Emily is as much a mystery as the dead boy assigned to her. Jacob Beaufort's spirit has been unable to crossover since his death several months ago. It might have something to do with the fact he was murdered. Or it might not. All he knows is, he has been assigned by the Otherworld's administrators to a girl named Emily. A girl who can see and touch him. A girl who released a shape-shifting demon into the mortal realm. Together they must send the demon back before it wreaks havoc on London. It should be a simple assignment, but they soon learn there's nothing simple when a live girl and a dead boy fall in love. THE MEDIUM is the first book in the Emily Chambers Spirit Medium trilogy. Yes, that's *trilogy* - meaning not everything will be wrapped up nicely at the end of The Medium. There are 2 more books after it, both of which are published. Check out my website for details.
