A Cozy Paranormal Fantasy with a Thrilling Twist

The dead don’t always stay buried. And some refuse to move on.

After barely surviving his brush with death, Clay Donovan is stuck between worlds—his body clings to life, but his soul refuses to let go. As he struggles to understand the new rules of the afterlife, a restless spirit begins terrorizing a college campus, seeking vengeance on those who left him behind.

Darcey, ever the fiend, is ready to do what she does best: eliminate the problem. But Clay isn’t convinced death is the only way out. As they race to stop the haunting before it turns deadly, Clay stumbles upon a horrifying truth—one that could change everything he thought he knew about the afterlife.

Meanwhile, Brynn is on her own mission. Anna’s father has disappeared, leaving more questions than answers, and she’s willing to go to any lengths to track him down. Even if it means stepping into the darkness herself.

Some souls seek redemption. Others want revenge. And some? Some just want to watch the world burn.

Ghost story that might grab you for a short thrill

One of the first lines of this title's description reads, "The dead don’t always stay buried. And some refuse to move on." and that sums up the story fairly succinctly. You are already told there is a ghost (or a few, since dead could be singular or plural) lurking around a campus. The remainder of the story are the actions and dialogue of the other characters trying to solve a mystery. There's not enough content for building much character depth, but even a 22-minute Scooby Doo episode managed to establish a setting, crime, motive, and present a solution. You'll get similar vibes here, though leaning more toward spooky than silly.The narration was delivered adequately, although characters mostly sounded alike. If you question what happens to a soul after leaving the physical body of this earth, this story might be for you. [Disclosure: I received this title for free and listened at 1.7x.]

Enjoyable paranormal mystery

This was a great book that had some fun twists and turns. Although somewhat lacking in character development and plot narrative, I enjoyed the ride through the paranormal world and was very impressed with the narration. Definitly would recommend for a quick listen to those who are a fan of mystery, and the afterlife.

Great Narrator!

For a short story, I thougt it was pretty entertaining to listen to while I painted. The story's beginning was a great hook. It had me very curious about what brought them to that point and what happens next. However, the story was a little hard to track at points. I needed to rewind more than I'd like, to better understand what was happening.
