But when the pair discovers a halfway house for the dead, they learn that twelve afterlives await them on the other side and they may not be headed for the same one. Lia must dig up memories long buried and make amends with her past...even if it means letting go of the ones she loves. Only then will she rest in peace.

The Painting
"It took me five seconds to fall. The impact on my chest jarring my body but not my mind. I suppose this is the point where your life is supposed to flash before your eyes as time itself freezes - and it did in a way. But I didn't relive my life physically like walking through an old memory, déjà vu in each step. It was a feeling, something that started in my chest and spread to my fingertips, one so unique to me that it encapsulated each significant event into one single second." For as long as May can remember one mystery has haunted her world. A dirty window before her, the grim obstructing her vision, she has lived with a loss she can't identify - that is until one rainy night. Gradually the spots of dirt May scratched at for so long wipe away with the touch of a finger. But when she looks in will she like what she sees - or will curiosity kill the cat?Complete

Death. What happens after it? What lies beneath the surface? Poor Arielle Daniels stumbled through dangerous hoops to figure this out. She wakes in a new place--the Void--and discovers that what waits after death are layers, dimensions, and sadly... more questions. Even with her new *friend*--that she nicknames THE GHOST, for lack of any other way to describe her--she feels alone, abandoned, afraid. In the living world, Benjamin "Benny" Brooks, knowledgeable in the occult and familiar with paranormal activity, can't crack the mystery behind her death. Or Stella's. Or even... Jade's. He and his FBI agent friend Kylie are on the scene, scraping for clues... and no matter how prepared they think to be, both will get much more than they bargained for. Will Arielle get her ultimate answers, at last? Will she conclude the business that's holding her in the Void?

Seventeen-year-old Elena knows she's running out of time. With a brain tumor stealing her strength and her future, her parents move her to a quiet farmhouse in the woods, hoping for peace in her final months. But Elena doesn't expect the house to hold a secret-one that will change everything. In the attic, among boxes of forgotten records and dust, Elena discovers Ethan: a boy her age, with messy blonde hair, a crooked smile, and eyes that see right through her. Ethan is a ghost, bound to the house where his own life ended years ago. At first, Elena wonders if he's only a hallucination-a cruel trick of her dying brain. But Ethan is real, as real as the warmth of his hand on hers, the sound of his laughter, and the way her heart stirs when he looks at her. As her body weakens, Elena finds herself spending her days with Ethan, hiding from her grieving parents to linger in the attic with the boy who makes her feel alive again. Together, they share music, laughter, secrets, and the fragile beauty of a love that shouldn't exist. But time is different now. Elena's life as she knew it is gone, and what waits ahead is uncertain. As she slips further from the world she once belonged to, she begins to accept that her journey isn't ending-it's changing. And maybe, just maybe, she and Ethan aren't as lost as they thought.Complete

Whispers in the Walls
They told me the house was empty. That the boy I was supposed to care for wasn't real. Just a doll. Just a job. But then I heard things. Felt things. The whispers in the walls, the way the air shifted like someone was always watching me. I should be scared. I should leave. But there's something about him-something that keeps pulling me back. Maybe it's the loneliness in his voice. Or the way he lingers in the shadows, waiting for me to see him. All I know is... I don't think I want to run anymore.Complete
