In this fast-paced paranormal mystery, you'll find a reluctant psychic medium, cold cases, ghosts, and a dash of romance. He doesn’t want her to focus on the past. It’s been six months since Riley Thomas, reluctant medium extraordinaire, has had a ghost haunting her apartment, and she prefers it that way. Life is less complicated when the dead aren’t trying to get her attention. Her best friend is getting married and wants to DIY her way through wedding prep—Riley’s got no time for ghosts. One of Jade’s wedding must-haves is vintage film cameras her guests can use to help document the big day. The months-long hunt for relics leads to a thrift shop jackpot, and Riley adds the cameras to the growing pile of wedding supplies in her apartment. That night, Riley gets a midnight wake-up call from a ghostly Black woman in a yellow dress. Even after the haunted cameras are removed from the apartment, the ghost woman keeps popping up, both in Riley’s dreams and in the corner of her eye. Tracking down the previous owner of the cameras proves difficult, and as Riley digs deeper, she uncovers a link between the cameras and two murdered women—one white, one Black, yet neither one is Riley’s mystery woman. Though the identity of the ghost proves to be as elusive as her predator, Riley is determined to uncover the truth of what happened to these women. But now someone knows she’s looking … and he’s hell-bent on making sure he finds her first. ---- Content Warning: Adult language ----- KEYWORDS: paranormal mystery, ghosts, ghost fiction, ghost thriller, psychics, psychic mystery, psychic fiction, psychic thriller, supernatural suspense, supernatural thriller, serial killers, serial killer fiction, amateur detective, paranormal mystery series, millennial protagonist ----- KEYWORDS: paranormal mystery, ghosts, ghost fiction, ghost thriller, psychics, psychic mystery, psychic fiction, psychic thriller, supernatural suspense, supernatural thriller, serial killers, serial killer fiction, amateur detective, paranormal mystery series, millennial protagonist
