Strong as Death, Born From Death book 1
Ilona discovers what it means to have a mother who is a modern
woman and a father who is a 19th-century gentleman ghost.
After being hit by a car and taken to
the hospital, Ilona starts to realize she’s different from other people, and
that her mother has hidden the truth from her. She sneaks out of the hospital
in order to discover the truth.
A mysterious boy named Archer guides her
through Brooklyn and introduces her to Hendrick, the man who claims to be her
father—though he died in 1890.
Ilona
must discover not only what she must do to rid the city of Soll, a sadistic and
powerful spirit, but also what it means to be half ghost. She proves what her
mother told her—love is stronger than death.
Sneak Peek at Awaken from Death:
The
blond boy didn’t walk up to a urinal or into one of the stalls, or even up to
the mirror. He stood in the middle of the room.
Invisible,
Lettie watched curiously.
Something
moved backward away from him. Out of him.
She
recognized Archer’s shiny black hair and strong frame even before she could see
his face.
She
gasped. But ghosts can’t inhabit people.
The
blond boy shook his head and looked around. “Fuck.”
“I’m
sorry,” Archer murmured so the boy wouldn’t hear.
Lettie
stared at both of them.
The
blond boy turned, leaned his hands on the counter, and looked at himself in the
mirror…not the way people usually looked at themselves. It was more like he was
trying to see something more than was in the reflection.
Archer
watched him, as if waiting for him to see something.
Then
Lettie understood. Archer hadn’t merely inhabited the boy—he’d possessed him.
But there were only a couple ways that’d be possible—if he were half ghost, or
if he…
A
memory struck Lettie like a horse galloping across a battlefield. An ancient
memory. Lettie had been around since the beginning of time on Earth, but most
of those thousands of years she let slink around the crevices of her mind. It
was mostly just walking the bridge with the newly deceased. There were a few
memories, though, that burned into her every time she let herself pull them
forward. And burned was precisely the right word.
She
knew—or rather, remembered—why Archer would never leave Ilona.
