The Shadow Girls

Dawn Merriman

I open my eyes. The room is dark and I can see no windows, only stairs leading up to a metal trapdoor. From the shadows, a figure emerges. A little girl with long, pale hair. She smiles at me. “Are you my new mommy?” she says.

I’m Rylan Flynn. I hunt for ghosts and restless spirits, and solve the mysteries that make them haunt the living.

A young woman is missing. And I was the last person to see her alive.

I watched Bess Freeman leave a bar with a stranger and walk into the night. Nobody has heard from her since. Bess would never skip out on her family like this, and the whole town is in shock.

The police find no leads, but I can see right away that this is no ordinary abduction.

In the basement of an abandoned church, I discover the spirit of a woman who seems to be another victim. And when the police uncover human remains beneath a barn, a male figure watches them closely, then disappears in an instant.

Ashby’s handsome head detective, Ford Pierce, is as reluctant as ever to involve me in the case.

But when another woman’s body is discovered in a derelict family home, it’s clear that Bess is in mortal danger. And her time is running out.

I’m desperate to find Bess before another innocent life is lost. But am I drawing closer to the truth or walking into the killer’s trap?

A gripping paranormal thriller packed with dark secrets, danger and slow-burning romance that will keep you turning pages late into the night. Fans of Wendy Wang, Heather Graham and Dean Koontz will love The Shadow Girls.
