We follow the note as it travels from one person to the next, unbeknownst to themselves, as they go about their daily lives, those of which vary wildly between normality and causality; so please fasten your seat belts and follow me on a trip into the unknown as we set off on one Hell of an adventure!... you never know where it may lead!

An intriguing cover, an excellent description and opening chapters hook you in for a bare-knuckled adventure that you leaves you wondering about the hidden world that exists right underneath our noses. Don't miss out!
This one has my interest. Looking forward to it.
This story line sounds so inventive and promising. Can't wait for the giveaway to begin!
The real world is full of synchronicity, since it's basically all one "thing." Or all one action. So, for fiction to remind us of that fact is a welcome affirmation of how everything is kind of a miracle, never something to take for granted as being some ol' mundane life. Nope. Not when books like this are here for us to read.

A Thin line
A Thin line David Boiani
What if a man lost his moral compass between right and wrong, good and evil, mental stability and insanity?
John Corbin has been investigating, catching, and convicting murderers, rapists, and pedophiles for twenty years as a Seattle detective. But lately, someone has been beating him to the punch and eliminating these vile criminals before he can apprehend them. John is learning that there is a thin line between innocent or guilty, good or evil, alive or dead.
By definition, a thin line is a very narrow division between two alternatives. Some being exact opposites, while others are separated by the narrowest of threads. This novel follows this definition to the letter. In life, many situations aren't just black or white. There is usually a modicum of grey to fill in the space. Who is ri

It Began With a Lie
It Began With a Lie Michele PW (Pariza Wacek)
A fresh start. That was what Becca hoped the move from New York to Redemption, Wisconsin would be for her troubled family. A way to get her crumbling marriage back on track, and to bond with her difficult 16-year-old stepdaughter.
But instead of a new beginning, Becca is thrust into a mysterious past she barely remembers. A past that includes the complications of seeing her old teenage crush Daniel as well as living in her aunt's old house (what the locals call "The Witch House.")
But is the house really haunted? Or is there something far more sinister out to destroy them?

It started with a dream.
In it, John Earl Stark solved the problem of a ghost he met. Or did he? It was a dream, after all.
The next day he meets two women who visit his cabin, arriving out of the blue, literally. (Well, one arrived with pitched black darkness which filled his cabin and made her cough.)
These two have an offer for Stark. All he really wanted was to enjoy the small cabin and solitude so he could write his detective stories.
These ladies had another offer - to help them solve the reasons ghosts don't move on. Plenty of new inspiration for stories, decent pay, won't interrupt his writing schedule.
Of course, he could die doing it...

The Case of a Cruising Phantom by S. H. Marpe...
The Case of a Cruising Phantom by S. H. Marpel Living Sensical
I knew exactly why I was still here. To haunt whoever had pushed me overboard.
My only problem was finding them. And if they weren't still alive, they had relatives.
Meanwhile, I kept amused by haunting the ship's passengers and crew. And the cruise line didn't have a problem with it. Their "haunted cruises" were a big hit. Full capacity for this old boat and its evening dinner cruises out beyond the harbor.
"Misstep Mary" they called me. Even had a faded photo of me blown up and cut out so passengers could take photos with me "haunting" them. Because they ruled my death accidental. But would I still be here if it was?
So I arranged for the Ghost Hunters to show up and solve this. Otherwise, there was no peaceful 'going into the light'. Getting revenge might be all I get...
