REVIEW: Ghosts Don't Lie, by Katie O'Sullivan #MondayBlogs

Image
Jillian Rogers Greene worked hard to close the doors on the psychic abilities that defined her youth. For years she pretended to be normal, ignoring the ghosts who whisper to her. When a car crash sets her on a collision course with the past, ugly secrets about her family and marriage come to light. She's forced to reevaluate what she thought she knew...and exactly what the future holds.  Connor Sanderson might be the key to unlocking that future.

I'd like to congratulate my friend and fellow TWRP author, Karilyn Bentley on her new release,  DEMON KISSED .

And not just any demon, but the one demon that gives her demon-killing bracelet the shivers. A dead professor, a lab full of missing anthrax, and a demon who turns good people into minions complicate her life.
