Magic can be Murder
Two forces. One magical young woman. A battle between worlds...
Meet Gypsy Shields, Melbourne Australia's first Telepathic Investigator. Turns out only one person shares her ability, her niece Renee and she's disappeared and left her body behind. She's gone to the 'in between', or purgatory. It seems the 'in between' world is full of strange and magical things - and most of them don't play nice with humans. That's where Gypsy comes in.
So when Renee won't wake up days after surgery and each passing hour brings her closer to death, Gypsy's sister insists she bring Renee back. Gypsy's not sure how to tell her about the silvery shimmery bars appearing on her arm each time she visits the in between, and visiting hours are limited.
There's just one more problem. Purgatory, to put it mildly, can be hell.
Although this book is book 5 in the series, it can be read as a standalone novella at 40,000 words long.
