Five Novelettes with a Twist

By: Casi McLean

Narrated by: Amanda Stribling

From USA Today best-selling author Casi McLean, five award-winning novelettes with supernatural twists grab you on minute one and hold you spellbound long after you listen.

The End

1. Self-reliant Reagan Nichols is no stranger to challenges, but ever since twilight fell over Spirit Lake and a murky mist oozed inland, everything felt surreal. When she finds a little girl wandering through the eerie fog, Reagan vows to save the child's father from the bowels of a ghostly vessel adrift on the lake. Will the three survive a confrontation with pure evil in order to meet their Destiny?

2. Savanna Bradford's impulsive reaction to her boyfriend Ryan's proposal spirals her into a rendezvous with fate and a mystical gift that could alter her future. Will the timeless struggle between dreams and passion bait her into repeating history, or will a simple gift from her bizarre encounter steer Savannah toward her true destiny before it's too late?

3. Sabrina Wentworth's bewildering gift swept her into the sensuous arms of a dream lover. Every night - after midnight - she slips into an illusory world drenched in passion. But the sands of time run out tonight. Can Brie find the key to her fantasy world before the reality of her ex boyfriend's deadly plot plays through, or will she be destined to death after midnight?

4. Prominent heart surgeon, Sierra Norton, performs minor miracles on a daily basis, but never in her wildest dreams did she imagine she would live one. When lightning strikes her flight the aircraft plunges, swirls through turbulence, and catapults Sierra into a treacherous past - the attack on Pearl Harbor. In a whirlwind blur, Sierra's courage, skill, and passion challenges her sanity. Can the convergence of three strong women reset history to fulfill her destiny?

5. When New York Times best-selling author Katlyn Harris discovers a timeworn painting in the attic of the isolated home she mysteriously inherits, a surge of déjà vu spins her into a mystery.

A few meet cutes and few times jumps.
