I can talk to myself in my head, and breath normally exhaling and inhaling. I can scream in my head, but I cannot scream in my head and breath at the same time. I tried. Repeatedly! Every time I tried to scream in my head, and inhale and exhale normally, the scream turned to a normal sound level in my head. Can you imagine what I must have looked like to the outside world having this conversation to myself? Seriously! We should not be at all surprised that when I go out in public I have to tell myself to be normal.

Mirror
by Elizabeth Klein
Genre: Famtasy
FREE for a limited time
Where there’s always darkness; never daylight.
Does magic still linger in the mist-shrouded places of Scotland? Ash Wood’s aunt certainly believed it existed in the village of Eldon Vale. Being a midwife to the Faery realm, she dabbled in the Old Ways that the rest of her pragmatic, disbelieving family scorned.
With his aunt’s untimely death, Ash inherits her cottage and becomes the next custodian of a mirror she always kept secret in the attic, a mirror she claimed once belonged to Snow White’s evil stepmother. Ash always suspected it had a personality of its own, one that felt dark and malevolent.
The truth about his aunt soon becomes far darker and more tangled than anything Ash is prepared for. The hidden world of Faery waxes very real and terrifying when Fae creatures invade the cottage. In an attempt to flee, Ash stumbles back into the mirror and finds himself trapped in its shadowy world. Here, his mundane life shifts up a notch as he struggles to make sense of who to trust and who is friend or foe. One wrong decision could be his last.

Dead Wrong (A Samantha Church Mystery Book 3)
by Betta Ferrendelli
Genre: Suspense | Mystery
FREE for a limited time
Nothing is colder than death. Or is it…
In Dead Wrong, the third book in the continuing mystery series featuring reporter Samantha Church, Samantha is back and turns her attention to helping Abby Love, a young funeral home employee who has come to her with claims that the mortuary is involved in illegally harvesting body parts.
Abby claims that funeral home employees and others with access to the recently deceased are profiting from the dead by secretly dismembering corpses, taking tissues, organs and non-organ body parts from knees, spines, bones to skin without the knowledge or consent of family members to sell on the black market.
Setting her initial skepticism aside, Sam and Abby begin an investigation, which soon reveals that trafficking body parts illegally harvested from the dead is, in fact, a thriving and lucrative, underground business driven by a growing demand for human bones and tissue — and is happening at the mortuary where Abby works.
Their undercover investigation exposes a corrupt mortuary, but who is involved in the clandestine operation remains shrouded in ambiguity. Determined to uncover the truth and hunt down those responsible, Sam and Abby continue their pursuit — despite that it leads the pair down a winding and sinister path of malevolence and malice, which ends up having dire consequences for everyone involved.
