Books with title The Ghost in the Glass

This gripping historical mystery immerses you in a gothic world of deadly intrigue, supernatural power and simmering romance.In the gaslit streets of Edwardian London, someone is draining the blood of the city's mediums. Lily Albright knows who's next. As the unacknowledged bastard daughter of the powerful Earl of Torrington, Lily lives a life apart, but her outcast social status is less isolating than the closely-kept secret of her unusual and disturbing power. For as long as she can remember, Lily has been plagued by visions of the future, and never once has she been able to prevent the horrors she foresees from coming to pass. This time, her unwelcome "gift" has shown her the brutal murder of her only real friend - vivacious, gossipy Estelle, who makes her living as a spiritualist medium. London's tabloids have been raving about the mysterious deaths of several of the city's mediums, who have been found lying in their beds inexplicably drained of blood. The papers call it a vampire on the loose, but Lily knows the killer is a different kind of monster - one who could be caught and brought to justice, perhaps in time to save her friend. When her quest to identify the killer takes her to a bedchamber where one of society's most notorious widows lies dead, she's forced to team up with the reclusive Lord Strangford, a man haunted by his own unusual powers. To save Estelle, Lily must ask Strangford to face unimaginable horrors, and is compelled to reveal her darkest secrets to a man she has little reason to trust.As Lily and Strangford race to stop the murderer before he strikes again, it becomes clear that there is something far more horrifying about these crimes than a myth of the undead. Somewhere in the city, a murderer is hell-bent on an unspeakable harvest with the potential to reshape the future of the human race. To stop him, Lily must face a past rife with betrayal - and embrace the power she has spent her entire life trying to escape. A smart, page-turning suspense perfect for fans of Libba Bray, Deanna Raybourn or Lydia Kang.

After reading Jim Laughter's Galactic Axia Adventure Series, I couldn't resist when he asked me to read Ghost in the Dark. I love a good ghost story, but this one took me by surprise. I expected to be scared, but instead I was inspired. I met families unlike any I'd ever met before, and they touched my heart. I experienced the grief felt by a mother that loses a child, and the joy when that child is found. I reveled in acts of courage, honesty, and integrity. I shared the triumph of victory, and I cried in defeat. I loved meeting Empress Ane, Mary Ebilizer, Myra Alor, Bobby, and Grandpa Gary. Ghost in the Dark is a masterpiece that will grip your heart and never let go. It will inspire young and old readers alike to always follow their dreams. I'm looking forward to editions in both the Adventure and Ghost series. Dennis McDonaldBest-Selling Author of 13 Nightmares and Ebon Moon

In 1961, a baby daughter was born to a single, eighteen-year-old girl, in London, England. By April, the young girl had left England for South Africa, and the baby had become Penny Bunton, the daughter of quite another family, in Cambridge, England. Through a series of stories, beginning from earliest memory and going on through half a century of life, this chronicle examines family and the power of hidden histories, the weight in the heart from words not spoken, looks at love’s ability to corrupt and destroy, to raise up and heal. It discusses the nature of identity and the psychology of a person of uncertain belonging. Ghost in the Bone is the thing almost remembered. It is an odyssey and personal memoir, funny, touching and ultimately redemptive.

The Ghost tells the tale of a beautiful opera star, Rosetta Rosa, whose beauty seems to cast a spell upon all those who meet her. When Carl Foster, a young doctor, sees Rosa at a London opera, and is instantly captivated, he soon finds himself plagued by mysterious happenings, and begins to see a malignant, spectral figure everywhere he turns. When another man enraptured by Rosa mysteriously dies, Carl begins to wonder whether loving her could bring with it a deadly curse. Moving between London and Paris, this fast-paced story draws the reader into a ghostly world of twists, turns, drama, and suspense.

When she receives a threatening letter from the Ghost, the realm's number one mage enemy, she sees a perfect chance to prove herself. Seneria learns two things very quickly. One, being Solaris isn't as easy as she thought it would be; and two, the Ghost is nothing as simple as the rogue mage everyone assumed he was.
