The Case of the Abandoned Warehouse
Author: Eva Pohler
Publisher: Green Press/Eva Pohler

Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 177
Book Description
Over three hundred bodies were lost in Tulsa in 1921... When Ellen and her two best friends travel to Tulsa for Sue's daughter's wedding, they get the crazy idea of flipping another historical home--only this time, it's an abandoned warehouse. When they hear from the locals that the place is haunted, Ellen and Sue convince Tanya to investigate, and what they uncover is one of Tulsa's and the nation's most horrifying secrets. If you can't get enough of Karen White, Heather Graham, Bobbie Holmes, or Jana Deleon, then this "perfect mix of fun and scary" paranormal mystery is for you! "This is a must-read and I must say, even better than book one! It was full of suspense, thrills, frightening scenarios; not to mention, compassion for those who needlessly lost their lives. Eva wrote a mystery masterpiece! 5 stars!"--Book Lover Reviews ★★★★★ "If you enjoy a ghost, possible ghost, and bit of history and a really good story, you will enjoy reading this book."--Marilyn A. Seago ★★★★★ "Captivating! Eva Pohler provides the perfect mix. Mystery and hauntings. I was hooked at the beginning and on the edge of my seat by the end."--Goodreads Reviewer ★★★★★ "Women are powerful!!!The series is well written. I was not always comfortable with the content, but that makes it worthwhile. Wish I had friends like those women!!"--Goodreads Reviewer ★★★★★ "The story unfolds at a brisk pace maintained throughout the book's entirety as the protagonists face challenges, threats, setbacks, and self-doubt. It is a paranormal mystery with all the expected trappings of such a story (spirits, seances, sage cleansing rituals, Ouija board messaging, etc.) but it is also much more. The author offers a wonderful group of likeable characters, a riveting mystery, a history lesson showcasing an authentic but truly dismal chapter in U.S. history, and a gratifying resolution that rekindles one's faith in the possibility of goodness and justice prevailing over the seemingly pervasive evil and inhumanity perpetuated by mankind."--txdoc, Goodreads Reviewer ★★★★★ Grab your copy to begin this ghostly adventure today!

Gods of Gaia: The Bearer of Hope
Author: Ian Marrero
Publisher: Lulu.com
ISBN: 0359726488
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 270
Book Description
Gods Of Gaia: The Bearer Of Hope, is a young adult fantasy that harkens to the world created by Robert E. Howard and drawn by Frank Frazetta. It is written with the language and veracity dispelled by the likes of David Liss (Benjamin Weaver story arcs) and John Connolly (Samuel Johnson's saga). Add the ideas explored in Vonnegut's Player Piano and Sirens Of The Titans, and you are starting to build the world of Gaia. What if there was an advanced civilization that lived before us, and now lived amongst us? How would we turn out if we started interbreeding? How would religion aid in creating narratives to dominate the masses? What if those that ruled enjoyed above all else feasting on the flesh of their subjects? Gods Of Gaia: The Bearer Of Hope should tuck neatly into the young adult fantasy fiction catalogue, but challenges its readers to reconceptionalize what the genre is while holding steadfast to the truth of all great fiction, critically thinking about our own place in the world.
