If you enjoy stories that keep you on the edge of your seat mixed with paranormal elements, horror, and romance, then this is a must read.”

As the author explains, the opportunity to finish her book came from the most unlikely of circumstances.

“Throughout the years I would add to the book – often by scribbling away on a yellow legal pad or on a typewriter, when they came into fashion,” she explains.

Continuing, “However, following a terrible accident that left me wheelchair-bound for many weeks, I needed something to do. Adding insult to injury, I was also laid off from work two weeks into my recovery. This is a disastrous situation to be in when trying to bring up children. That’s when I bought a laptop on eBay, put up my feet and committed myself to finishing what I had started.”

Arrington overcame her tribulations to great success. In fact, since its release, the book has garnered a consistent string of rave reviews.

“This is one of those books that grabs you early and is difficult to put down until the unexpected ending forces the issue. Do yourself a favor and put this one on your to do list. You won't regret it,” says Robert J. Young JR, who reviewed the book on Amazon.

Another reader, Teresa Kline, was equally as impressed. She said, “Wow, I have had the good fortune to come across this book and I am very impressed. I don't want to give anything away but it's one of those "can't put it down" works. I have learned that the author started this book at the age of 14 and is now 42 years old and completed it as she was recovering from a broken ankle. It is clear that this book has been carefully, skillfully and lovingly written.”

While many years in the making, Arrington admits that she couldn’t have done it without the love and support of her children.

“My seventeen year old created a book trailer for me, and he also edited many parts of the manuscript. They all helped out with the design cover and many other aspects of the book’s creation. I simply could not have done it without them. Since this is a series, there is more work to be done – so keep an eye out for the next book” she adds.
