FIRE IN FROST, by Alicia Rades


rsz_fireinfrostCRYSTAL FROST tells herself she isn't crazy, but sane people don't see ghosts. As her psychic abilities manifest, Crystal discovers there's a much bigger story behind her mother's Halloween-themed shop than she ever realized. Now blessed with the ability to see into the future, witness the past, and speak with the dead, Crystal must use these tools to save those who have come to her for help.

But that's not an easy task between learning how to use her abilities, trying to hide them, and uncovering the secrets her loved ones have been keeping from her. Add blackmail to the list of things Crystal never thought would happen to her, and you basically have her sophomore year covered. Will she learn to control her abilities in time, or will the whole school learn of her secret before she's ready to reveal it?

Enjoy this excerpt...


The thought of death crushed my heart, so I kept my eyes down, avoiding gazes so I wouldn’t tear up. I didn’t know Olivia that well, but since we were both on the volleyball team—although she was Varsity when I was on the freshman team—I’d spoken to her a few times.

I blinked back tears as I thought of Olivia’s tragedy. The whole idea of death brought a lump to my throat and resurfaced memories that I thought I’d gotten over. Emma rubbed my back to comfort me because she knew the subject of death was a touchy one.

As I stared at the floor, afraid to look up for fear that tears might start falling, an invisible force—something unknown willing me to look—pulled my chin up. My gaze fell upon the empty hallway to the right of the commons area where students hadn’t yet been released to roam for the day.

In the middle of the hallway stood a tall, beautiful girl with blonde hair and dark brown eyes. She looked at me across the distance, her eyes full of emotion. I couldn’t pinpoint exactly what she was trying to say with her expression, except that I knew it was urgent.

As soon as I spotted her, the bell rang, announcing that students could now go to their lockers and prepare for class. The crowd dispersed from the commons into the hallway and blocked my view of the girl. The students hurried down the hall as if they didn’t see her. I kept my eye on where she was standing, but I didn’t see her again.

“Crystal.” Emma’s voice seemed far off, a distant hum in my confusion.

The faintness I felt just moments ago returned. My heart pounded in my ears, and for a second, my knees felt unstable. I gripped the edge of the fundraising table for support.

Emma snapped her fingers in front of my face. “Crystal,” she said again as her voice came back into focus.

I was suddenly whipped back into reality, dazed. “Wh—what?”

“Are you okay?” Emma asked with a tone of serious concern. “You look like you’ve seen a ghost.”

I let the statement sink in for a moment. “Yeah,” I said. But I wasn’t answering her initial question. I was agreeing with her latter statement.

THE BOY WITH WORDS, by C.E.Wilson

C.E.Wilson.Boy.With.Words.eBookWhite Frost has only known the darkness.

Everything outside of her closed society is The Unknown – a strange and dangerous place accessible to only a chosen few. White’s only glimpse of the world beyond comes from her beloved cousin in the form of mysterious collections of words that hint at astonishing wonders. When an accident upends her simple existence, she’s given an unlikely chance to see the truth for herself.

What she finds is greater and more terrible than she could have imagined, and before long she is forced to make the most important choice of her life: does she accept her safe, limited world that she’s known or take a desperate gamble in a world not meant for her with the Boy with Words?

Enjoy this excerpt...


Blood on the curtains.

I tried to find my footing. “Is he alright?”

Fresh looked over my head and I pounded him hard several times on the chest. Groups of people started to turn in our direction, but I couldn't think about them. All I could think about was the blood on the curtain, and the massive man holding steady as I continued to hit him.

“Is he alright?” I shouted. “Tell me! Is my cousin alright?”

“Calm down.” Fresh wrapped two larger hands around my own and I was no longer able to strike him. “Your cousin... Shade Frost...”

“Yes?”

“As you have heard, there was an attack.” Fresh continued slowly and methodically, almost as though he enjoyed my pain. “We cannot tell for sure what the aggressor was, but it was something that has not been encountered before.” He shook his head. “We are told it is the color of fire and attacked the group as they brought back the body of Ms. Lincoln.”

“The body?” I croaked.

He nodded. “They were trying to bring the woman back for her family's sake. Your cousin was guarding the rear of the group. As I am sure you are aware, the tail-man is the most dangerous and vulnerable position. Being the tail-man is a risk and it is unfortunate your cousin was selected to take that position. It is randomly decided—”

“Is he alive or not?” The words flew from my trembling lips before I had a chance to stop them. I wanted to know, but by humoring Fresh for a little while longer I could pretend what I knew in my heart hadn't actually happened. Ignorance could have kept my hopes alive for a little while longer, but I was a fool and sought answers as quickly as possible. I supposed my thirst for knowledge had finally backfired. “Is he alive or not?” I tried. My voice shook. I already knew.

“I am sorry, Ms. Frost.”
