An ordinary woman, Nellie Jo Russell, experiences a devastating loss when her soon-to-be fiancé, Joshua, dies in a car accident with his best friend, Bryan. One year and two months after the tragedy, still in sorrow, Nellie simultaneously unveils two things about herself, she's a talented writer and quite psychic. Following a promotion to staff writer for a small magazine, Journal of Inspiration, Nellie convinces her boss she should compose a story about lives lost too soon, using Hickory Grove Cemetery, the same graveyard where she visits Joshua. Upon this assignment, Nellie grows her second sight by touching ostensibly random headstones, instantly downloading details of the deceased mortals. As her skills build, she wonders why she does not feel Joshua, until an unexpected contact is made by the spirit of the person she blames for Joshua's death, Bryan. Bryan confirms what Nellie has been sensing, Joshua's soul is not around. In an attempt to locate Joshua's whereabouts, the unlikely duo uncovers something sinister.

In 1961, the body of an unidentified serial killer, Frederick Lee Nicholas, was buried in Hickory Grove Cemetery. At the time of death, afraid of his spirit's destiny, Frederick devises a plan to rewrite his anticipated fate. Cleverly designing the cemetery as the hereafter by convincing the spirits, at their time of burial, the afterlife doesn't go beyond the cemetery's gates, thus securing his soul's immortality.

Unbeknownst to Nellie, her snooping around the cemetery is disrupting Frederick's spiritual stability. As he seeks to protect what he's created, she fears for her safety but her impulse to learn more about her sixth sense and the souls in the graveyard is stronger.  What starts as a way for Nellie to unfold her gifts and connect with the love of her life, evolves into an exploration of her own potential.All Rights Reserved

The Medium by CjArcher

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.

I Can See Their Death by Callme_pierre28

Ghosts and ethereal apparitions became her companions, while the looming specter of death itself held an unyielding presence in her life. Anleane possessed an eerie talent; her visions never faltered, always revealing the cruel inevitability of mortality. Even those closest to her weren't spared.

And then, the inexplicable occurred - her own figure materialized within the confines of her ominous predictions. Confronted with the realization of her impending doom, Anleane's fight for survival intensified, a desperate attempt to defy the very destiny she once foretold. Amidst the relentless shadows of her cursed ability, Anleane grapples with a question that consumes her every thought: Can she, against all odds, outwit the clutches of the inescapable, or will she become yet another victim to the merciless hands of fate?

I can't afford to have her blood on my hands." Gwen looked away, and he knew she saw the image that flashed in his mind. The slaughter. Bodies everywhere. The putrid stench of decay and metallic blood seeping through his fingers and staining the earth under his feet. The small, lifeless body in his hands whose death he couldn't prevent. And whose death he could never forget. "It won't be like that with her," she murmured to the floor. "I won't take that chance." Heavy with sorrow, her brown eyes looked up into his.

Fate would bring them together, and Fate would tear them apart. -- **A slow-burning, sensual love story with a splash of humor, a dash of action, and a lot of heart.** Rated PG-13 for adult content (coarse language, violence, and non-explicit sex) [There is a separate R-rated scenes book for those who want steamier scenes] CONTAINS: alpha lycan x human mates, strong female lead, second chance mates, reincarnation (tabula rasa), love-triangles, vampires, action, drama, humor, relatable characters, high stakes, passionate romances VOID OF: "insta-love," extremely possessive, aggressive, abusive alpha mates, Stockholm Syndrome *OVERALL WINNER of 2017 Flower's Awards*
