The Third ~ The best things always come in 3's don't they?
"A short twisted, total mind F***!" -E.H.
Keegan has a long list of things to worry about in life, but LOVE is dead last on that list. Trying to figure out how and why you keep disappearing and ending up in different parts of the country.
Coupled with how it all ties into The 3rd has to take precedence.
Even when you would rather just fall in love and be normal. Sometimes the strange universe has bigger plans for you than your usual dark, back alley deals and stripper girlfriends. Something more is always at work, and running from it just does not seem to be working anymore.
Where will Keegan end up next? Will the Third Sight finally become a useful tool or are all the twists and turns life throws going to be too much to bare? The best things in life always come in 3's don't they!?
"The Third, a first step in paranormal shorts by J.W. Snootz is bound in the tradition of Stephen King, with the twists and turns of Dean Koontz, and a thought provoking laid out ending like the great John Grisham. Eclectic style and leaves you clamoring for more." Author L.S.

Some love can last a lifetime-their love was destined to last longer. Angel's first words to Kel were "I'm going to marry you." She was seven at the time. He was eight. And he didn't laugh when she spoke the words. Best friends as children, lovers as young adults, they had an unexplainable bond. Their future looked set. Until the night they were attacked by a creature that couldn't exist. Angel survived the attack-barely. But Kel didn't. Or at least, nobody thought he did. His body was never found and Angel's life would never be the same. The attack might not have killed Kel's body, but it sure as hell killed his heart. Twelve years later, there's one part of his former life that he can't move past. Angel. He can't let her go, but he can't have her either. She doesn't even realize he is still alive. But when a threat surfaces, Kel's willing to do whatever it takes to protect Angel. Even if it drives them both to the edge of insanity and back. **This completed book is part of my Hunters series.
