Soul Search: A Zackie Story - Paperback

by Reyna Favis (Author)

What if everything you knew about the afterlife was wrong? Welcome to Fia's world.
Fia hates the dead. If a spirit gets too close, their final moments become her reality. It's no big surprise she's developed a raging case of necrophobia, and people think she owns the deluxe edition of crazy. Fia is desperate for a dead-free zone. Signing on with a wilderness search and rescue team seems like the perfect fit - no earthbound spirits in the empty woods, right?

Bad assumption. Big mistake.

By the time she sees a search dog leading a dead boy through a portal to the afterlife, Fia's a hot mess. Struggling to survive, she's frantic to learn how to get rid of these spirits. Cam, a snarky Brit and the K9 handler, says he can teach her how to avoid having her reality overtaken by the dead. But can Fia trust him? And it's freaking her out that K9 Zackie is way more than she seems. To make matters worse, Cam's first real lesson is rubbing right up against Fia's necrophobia. If she can be overwhelmed by one spirit, how is she expected to handle a multiple haunting by victims of a murderous home invasion from more than a century ago? Fia is also falling for ghost hunter Lucas, but he is morally and ethically off-limits to her. Lucas might just prove to be a fatal distraction in this dangerous business.

This situation is code red, DEFCON 1, and Charlie Foxtrot all rolled into one. If Fia doesn't make it, you can bet your sweet patootie she'll be haunting Cam.

For readers who enjoy a riveting tale with surprises at every turn. Soul Search will keep you turning the pages.

The first novel of the ZACKIE STORIES.
