Tangled Web of Friends: Book I - Summer Camp


Book Description

“A shadowed figure stood in the doorway directly opposite from where Josie lay. She told herself that it must be Adam, but reason argued that the figure before her was too tall and too wide, almost filling the entire doorway. Thunder shook the house while lightning flashed and for a split-second she could see him clearly. He wore a dark tailored suit with a high-collared shirt pinched at the throat with a tie, and a tall, wide-brimmed hat that cast a shadow over his face so again she couldn’t see his eyes. But she knew he was watching her. Terror froze her. She couldn’t move. She couldn’t speak.” While on a summer adventure camp in the Northern Maine woods, Josie – a theater geek who prefers ballet shoes to hiking boots – and her fellow campers find themselves forced to take shelter in an abandoned house in the middle of the forest. Each will have their own brush with the supernatural as they confront the long-dead residents of the home, but after a bump on the head, Josie will be taken above and beyond any comfortable reality she has known so far. She will be thrust into finding an inner strength she hadn’t known she possessed and into facing a love deeper than she knew possible. And as Josie and her new friends step into a world of paranormal possibilities never before known to them, how will their experiences forever change her life and the lives of those she is now closest with?
