Suspense novelist, Starr Gardinier Reina is please to announce the release of her new young adult paranormal, The Other Side: Melinda's Story.
- Tallahassee, FL (1888PressRelease) June 15, 2013 - If I tell you the story, will you believe it?
Melinda James is begging for people to believe her story. To her, it's not a tale. There are cops and even family members who believe she is responsible for the mayhem that followed the death of her father.
Those events were terrifying and unbelievable. Her father begins to speak with her from the 'Other Side,' and warns her to take her mother and older brother Kyle and leave immediately because his death was no accident, like everyone assumed. But Melinda doesn't take her father's words to heart. Soon, her family members and friends begin to disappear, and all she's left with is a 'crazy' story that none of the psychiatrists will believe.
Because she refuses to sway from the story she knows to be true, she is put in Skyview Haven, a mental institution. Murderers are still on the loose and they want something only Melinda has. But all Melinda wants is to get out of Skyview Haven and live her life.
As she journeys from one dangerous incident to the next, her dead best friend and family members try to help from the 'Other Side.' Will it be enough? Can dead people protect the living?
Does this 'Other Side' even exist? Will Melinda get her new doctor, Alex Leever, to finally believe her so she can be freed from the asylum? As portals open and close and a new friend arrives on the scene to perhaps protect or destroy Melinda's well-being, she must find a way to understand that the voices speaking are sending a dire warning: that the killers from the past still exist and are beginning to get far too close for comfort.
The Other Side: Melinda's Story is available in print and ebook format.
