Dead Woman's Revenge - Nearly...

Elle E. Ire

Winner of the 2023 Golden Crown Literary Awards for Audiobook Narration 
 
Flynn Dalton doesn’t want to be a hero. But for Genesis, she’ll do whatever it takes.  
 
After her first, deadly brush with the paranormal, Flynn just wants to get back to her life: construction work, semiprofessional bowling, and her fiancée, Genesis. Unfortunately, Flynn’s abilities have caught the attention of the National Psychic Registry, and they have their own agenda. Wherever Flynn goes, the registry follows, setting up tests of her abilities, hounding her to attend the conference in Atlantic City for evaluation and training.  
 
Flynn can handle the registry’s heavy-handed tactics, threats, and guilt trips. She’s even convinced herself she can deal with her own growing—and increasingly dangerous—powers. But the offer to heal the wounds she sustained in Dead Woman’s Pond, wounds that are making it almost impossible to do the work she loves, is much more tempting.  
And if the registry learns of Gen’s addiction to dark magic, agreeing to do whatever the registry wants might be the only bargaining chip Flynn has left.  
 
Unfortunately, the registry’s plans for her are much deadlier than a simple series of tests….
