What PUBLISHERS WEEKLY says about THE NINE
“A gripping paranormal series starter whose heroine boldly flips the script!”
“A paranormal adventure page-turner!”
“…a fresh, secret world and a promising set of characters!”
“…balanced perfectly…”
“…anxiously awaiting book two to find out what comes next!”

Hidden truths are revealed and loyalties tested in the third book of The Nine series when eighteen-year-old clairvoyant Blake Wilder unwittingly stumbles upon a secret that should have stayed buried. Her discovery sets off a chain reaction she won’t fully comprehend until fellow Nines try to frighten her into silence—and a friend turns up dead. Blake’s troubles continue to mount when a vision paints boyfriend Nicholas Thorne in a duplicitous light, and Jessie McCabe, the man who haunts her dreams, finds love with another. When almost everything she cherishes is tarnished or stripped away, the person she relies on most—her best friend, Scarlett—goes missing. With her back against the wall, Blake will do anything, risk everything, to divine friends from enemies as she races to uncover the truth behind Scarlett’s disappearance.
