Beyond the Realms of Death

Book excerpt: Chris doesn’t know how to move on after the love of his life left him. Sarah disappeared, leaving nothing but a note on their dining room table. No one has seen or heard from her since—not until a storm begins to brew in the Gulf of Mexico. When the storm arrives, it brings much more than rainy days—it brings nightmares. In his dreams, Sarah reaches out to Chris. It seems like she’s trying to send him messages, but what is she trying to say? Despite his broken heart and lack of sleep, Chris struggles to go about his life, hanging with friends at Sugar, the strip club where he met Sarah. Several of the dancers find Chris attractive, but he’s nowhere near ready to move on. The storm strengthens, as do the bad dreams. Soon Chris’s dreams invade his life in a barrage of appalling déjà vu. When one of the strippers at Sugar is murdered, jealousy and paranoia take over the club. What does the murder have to do with Sarah, and is it possible something demonic arrived with the storm to scare Chris to death?
