Sometimes
Rest in Peace isn't an option
Kacie Ramsey sees ghosts-and it's ruining her life. Her
mother left, her father blames her, and no matter how hard she tries, she can't
keep the ghosts away. Now a new power has emerged. Nightly visions of grisly
murders and a relentless predator draw her to the brink of insanity.
When the phantom appears at a party, Kacie's longtime crush,
Logan, saves her. He invites her to join the Orion Circle, a group of
supernatural hunters with chapters in schools all over the country. Through the
Circle, Kacie learns to embrace her spiritual powers, and for the first time in
her life she feels in control rather than a victim.
But the Foxblood Demon will not give up so easily. A
demented serial killer in life who trapped the souls of the thirteen children
he murdered, imprisoning them within the walls of his mansion. Now in death, he
plots his return while drawing power from the pure souls of the children. He
recognizes something in Kacie he's never seen before-a medium powerful enough
to provide a vessel for his tainted soul.
Kacie can't ignore the tortured souls of the children crying
out to her every night. With Logan at her side, she will fight the Foxblood
Demon. But can they banish this powerful phantom, or will Kacie lose not only
her body, but her eternal soul to the monster.
Excerpt
"I'm a member of an exclusive club at school, the Orion Circle. Perhaps you've heard of us?" he asks, cocking his head to the side.
My eyebrows shoot up at his admission, and I stumble a bit on a crack in the sidewalk. He grabs my elbow to steady me. Not trusting my voice to work, I nod in response. Of course I've heard of the secretive Orion Circle-everyone has. Speculation as to the nature of the club runs the gamut from academic to secret society.
The moment we enter the park, Kodiak prances in excitement, eager for the wild trails up ahead. This time of morning wildlife sightings are plentiful. Kodiak lunges at a squirrel crossing our path. I make a clicking noise with my tongue, and the dog reverts to his obedient behavior. Pavement gives way to a dirt trail, forcing me to slow my pace due to the uneven footing.
"I think you should come to our meeting this afternoon. I'll find you later today and give you an invitation."
His offer blindsides me, and I nod like an idiot, my head bobbing a few too many times. Somehow I manage to smile at him before returning my gaze to the trail. Wow, the Orion Circle and Logan in one day. I feel like I'm floating on a cloud until a rock brings me back to Earth. After stumbling a few steps, Logan's hand on my arm is the only thing that keeps me from falling.
If I continue to run down this dirt trail, I'm afraid I might fall to my death. It seems I'm having a hard time seeing anything other than an image of Logan's handsome face. I glance up at him, surprised by the concern etched across his face.
"Are you okay? You didn't twist your ankle, did you?"
"No, I'm fine, really," I reply as a hot flush creeps from my neck to my face. "But my mind is a million miles away, and I'm afraid I'll break a leg on this trail if we keep going."
"We'll head back, then," he says before turning to walk back to the park entrance.
"Thanks for understanding," I say, relieved we are walking rather than running.
"I only got a glimpse of your vision," he says in a soft voice. "It was bad. Real bad. Don't worry, I'll help you, I promise. I think you'll feel a lot better after the Orion Circle meeting."
His words fill me with warmth along with a feeling of contentment. Perhaps this vision isn't so bad. I mean, it brought me closer to Logan, after all.
