The Other Side: Melinda’s Story by Starr Gardinier

Melinda’s family is dead, killed for information that is hidden deep within her mind. Her father tries to warn her from the ‘Other Side’ that she is in danger from the killers who want what only she can give them. Committed to Skyview Haven, she must determine if the ‘Other Side’ truly exists or if it is a trick of her heart and mind. With time running out Melinda must determine who she can trust. Is it the ghosts of her family, a boy who may not be who he appears to be, or the doctor who is determined to cure her? Can she figure out the truth before it is too late?

“One of those rare paranormal thrillers that challenges as it entertains…a wondrous, chilling tale…supremely and masterfully crafted, and elegantly written…”
~Jon Land, author of Pandora’s Temple

THE OTHER SIDE is available from Amazon, Barnes & Noble and Kobo.
