Normal gives way to the paranormal - The Legend of the Light Keeper

"The author definitely knows how to write for a YA audience; it was very easy for me to get wrapped up in Lily’s world. I couldn’t and wouldn’t stop until I finished! I loved this character almost immediately and after reading the book, I almost feel like I know her. Honestly, for a few minutes it made me miss being 15." - Goodreads, Chrissy Moon

Description:

After a hurricane destroys her home, Lily Jordan is ready for life to get back to normal. That would be easy if her mother’s recent engagement hadn’t landed her in a house along Southeast Texas’ most haunted ghost road. The secluded scenic road is steeped in rich history and legends, but when Lily is given an old diary on her birthday, will she find that those legends hold more for her future than she’s bargained for?

With the help of new friends, Hunter and Owen, and forbidden love, Talon, will she uncover dark secrets from the past and find the key to her own gifts? Is it fate or circumstance that brought Lily to her new home? Normal gives way to the paranormal in book one of the Light Keeper series where mystery and suspense keeps you guessing until the very last page.

Unfortunately for Lily Jordan, being a Light Keeper doesn't come with an instruction manual, but neither does being sixteen. While learning to use her powers, she’s confronted with unforeseen obstacles and forced to break her own rules in order to save her circle of friends.

With her mom’s wedding on the horizon, will misinterpreted visions create new enemies who could threaten Lily’s exposure? Will death and heartache ruin the big day? For Lily, the answers only lead to impossible decisions. Does she embrace her powers or abandon them for false normalcy?

Kelly Hall’s second book, The Secret of Strange Waters, proves paranormal powers aren’t always a blessing.

EXCERPT

“I cleaned up worse than this after the storm,” I argued. And it was true. Boards, wires, nails, and trash were all that was left of the wave-crushed houses; so much worse than a few tall weeds and the occasional snake. I was a hard worker and never minded getting dirty. Mom and I had always made it on our own. It wasn’t like there was a man around to take out the trash or fix things when they broke. That had been left to us. 

“I just want to help.” 

“You have helped,” Owen said, wiping his sweat. 

“You’ve made us lunch every day, and blessed us with your presence.” I narrowed my eyes and leaned back on my elbows. My butt was sore from sitting so long, even on Owen’s padded seat. 

“But—” I started to argue but Talon interrupted with a loud sigh. 

“Oh. Here, hold this,” he said, handing me his water bottle and sweaty towel. 

“There, are you happy?” 

“Great, I’m the water boy,” I mumbled. 

“We’re almost done,” said Owen, swinging his machete a little harder. I could tell that they were getting annoyed, especially after a few silent seconds when Hunter mumbled, “Girls,” and shook his head. 

“You’re all being sexist.” I jumped off the four-wheeler and started gathering the trimmings and piling them on the burn pile. Talon shook his head and continued working. Nothing else was said on the matter.
