Book excerpt: Shandra Ford, daughter of Agent Ford. An abused young girl is taken in by a classmate she just barely met, Dakota Frandsen. The two see each other as kindred spirits, and quickly find out the same phantom image that has been haunting them is only the beginning of the future they are destined for. Now free from her abusive step father, Shandra quickly becomes a part of Dakota's world. At first it seems like an innocent journey into the unknown as she starts to take part in paranormal investigations, but she learns it is so much more than it seems when gods, monsters, and superpowers (on top of ghosts and demons) prove themselves to be very real.
