Memories of Murder
by Lara Nance
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Memories of Murder by Lara Nance, a Paranormal Romance is available
now but will be free from March 4 – 8th on Amazon Kindle.
When Maeve McKenna
renounces her witch powers and accepts a low-key nurse practitioner position at
a Virginia retirement community, the last thing she expects is a suicide her
first day on the job.
As the town's sexy sheriff, Paul Sutton, starts
looking into the tragic death of his father's friend, Maeve can't help but get
involved--with both the case and him. Their informal investigation unveils an
old journal that connects the ruins of a nearby asylum and long-forgotten
cemetery with the shiny new retirement community's memory unit--and Maeve's
Alzheimer's patients.
Maeve senses a sinister presence in the old asylum,
calling to the patients, but in order to stop it from killing again, she must
first conquer some demons of her own and reclaim the magic she's denied
herself.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“No, stop. Don’t jump!” Maeve McKenna yelled at the
man poised on the roof three stories above her. Her heart pounded as he took a
step that left his toes hanging over the edge. A wave of cold that had nothing
to do with fear pressed about her as though a frigid hand gripped her soul. She
frowned at the eerie presence and pressed her hands to her head.
“Damn.” She swirled around looking for help. Across
the parking lot and among the small villas scattered about the manicured
landscape, elderly couples strolled or walked their dogs. But they were too far
away to do more than stare in her direction. The urge to use her powers was
pointless, she no longer had them.
“Hey,” she called trying to get the man’s attention
as he looked back over his shoulder, eyes wide as he flinched away from
something she couldn’t see. If only he would talk to her, she might be able to
keep him safe until someone got to him. He had on pajamas, so he must be a
patient. She held up her hands. “Hey, back up, stop.”
“Oh, no! Mr. Baker, no!” A woman with short black
hair ran from the main entrance of the retirement community, waving her arms.
Both Maeve and the woman screamed as the
unfortunate Mr. Baker took a step into the air and hurtled to the ground. He
landed in a heap of tangled limbs and bloody splatter on the sidewalk in front
of them. The cold presence surrounding Maeve seeped away, leaving her rubbing
her arms and puzzled at the sensation.
