    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Our world needs help. Our world needs hope. This amazing series of three books offer that hope. Read them, you won't regret it. 
    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Very interesting book especially for the times we live in. The story line would have been easier to follow if I had read book 2, but it does explain enough to catch up. Life lessons taught - trust must be stronger than fear; love more important than hate; gratitude more than greed. With these there is HOPE. 
    If the Ring's mission is to succeed, Eva must travel back to Earth and try to stop Frank before he can reveal In-Between to the public. 
    Unfortunately, Frank has allied himself with a group of powerful people who want to gain power worldwide by spreading political and economic fear. 
    The task seems impossible, and as Eva is running out of opportunities, she sees no other way than to seek out a former friend. But for her to get help, she must break her promise to the Master. 
    Eva needs to work on her personal development to be a part of the Ring. 
    Only when all the members of the Ring have passed a test can they return to Earth with the knowledge and awareness that is crucial to the future of mankind. 
    Gabriel's condition worsens, and the Ring cannot be assembled without him. 
    Time is running out, and the question is, will Eva be ready on time? 
    Will she be able to let go of control and surrender to her vulnerability and her heart? 
    Eva's intense journey inspires us to be true to ourselves and open up and listen to our hearts.

    “With nail-biting tension and hair-raising escapades, Graham takes readers on a thrilling journey of conspiracy and international espionage.” —Fresh Fiction 
     
    CIA agent Jax Alexander and remote viewer Tobie Guinness—the heroes of C.S. Graham’s bestselling debut The Archangel Project—are back in The Solomon Effect, a riveting thriller that combines authentic CIA spycraft, unearthed Nazi secrets, and biological terror in a tale that races full-speed from the opening paragraph to the heart-pounding conclusion. A masterwork of intrigue and action, The Solomon Effect will appeal to a wide audience—from fans of Tom Clancy, James Rollins, and John Le Carré to dedicated aficionados of Tami Hoag. Publishers Weekly gave Archangel a starred review, calling it “rollicking suspense . . . [an] impressive series opener.” The Solomon Effect promises even greater adrenaline-pumping thrills and surprises. 
     
    “Fast-paced fun! Careening action with compelling characters and fascinating research.” —Lisa Gardner, #1 New York Times–bestselling author 
     
    “Tension remains taut until the very end and The Solomon Effect is a nice entertaining action thriller with a supernatural theme and a dark enough conspiracy.” —Blogcritics

    "The Evil Clergyman" is an excerpt from a letter written by American horror fiction writer H. P. Lovecraft in 1933. After his death, it was published in the April 1939 issue of Weird Tales as a short story. The story was later adapted into the unreleased 1987 anthology film Pulse Pounder.The story begins in the attic of an ancient house. The narrator's companion refers to the former owner of the house and the presumably violent end that befell him. He advises the narrator not to stay after dark or touch anything, especially the small object on a table, which the companion seems to fear considerably. The narrator is then left alone in the attic; he notes the many theological and classical books, and one bookshelf in particular containing books on magic. He feels a considerable curiosity for the forbidden object on the table. The narrator finds a strange flashlight-like device in his pocket that produces a peculiar violet glow. He attempts to illuminate the object on the table with this strange light, which he describes as being composed of particles. The object makes a crackling sound like a sparking vacuum tube, and takes on a pinkish glow with a vague white shape taking form from its center. The narrator, feeling that his surroundings are taking on strange new properties, realizes that he is not alone; the sinister newcomer is described as wearing clerical garb typical of the Anglican Church. The newcomer begins throwing magical books into a fireplace.

"What the droll teller says?"But the strange and macabre tale of Victorian poisoning and madness that follows, has far-reaching repercussions for Enys and her family, and after the droll teller has finished, any notion of staying there, or even together, is shattered.
