Nearly Departed

No matter how Flynn Dalton tries to avoid it, the supernatural finds her. At first, it's not so bad. Flynn's girlfriend, Genesis, is a nationally known psychic, which makes Flynn uncomfortable for both paranormal and financial reasons, but she can handle it. As long as no one makes her talk about it. Then, on her way home from her construction job, Flynn almost ends up the latest casualty of Festivity's infamous Dead Man's Pond. And when her ex-lover's ghost appears to warn her away, things get a whole lot weirder. Flynn might not like it, but the pond has fixated on her to be its next victim. If she wants to survive, she'll have to swallow her pride, accept Gen's help, and get much closer to the psychic realm - and her own latent psychic abilities - than she ever wanted.

Flynn Dalton doesn't want to be a hero. But for Genesis, she'll do whatever it takes. After her first, deadly brush with the paranormal, Flynn just wants to get back to her life: construction work, semiprofessional bowling, and her fiancée, Genesis. Unfortunately, Flynn's abilities have caught the attention of the National Psychic Registry, and they have their own agenda. Wherever Flynn goes, the registry follows, setting up tests of her abilities, hounding her to attend the conference in Atlantic City for evaluation and training. Flynn can handle the registry's heavy-handed tactics, threats, and guilt trips. She's even convinced herself she can deal with her own growing, and increasingly dangerous-powers. But the offer to heal the wounds she sustained in Dead Woman's Pond, wounds that are making it almost impossible to do the work she loves, is much more tempting. And if the registry learns of Gen's addiction to dark magic, agreeing to do whatever the registry wants might be the only bargaining chip Flynn has left. Unfortunately, the registry's plans for her are much deadlier than a simple series of tests...

Flynn Dalton just wants to marry her girlfriend, Genesis, go back to her construction job, and get on with her life. But first she has to defeat a revenge-crazed psychic succubus who is erasing people from existence…. Flynn is in a tough spot. The National Psychic Registry will exile Genesis for her use of dark magic if Flynn doesn't do their bidding… and Gen doesn't even know the Registry is using her for leverage. The only way for Flynn to get her life back–and protect Gen–is to find and kill Tempest Granfeld, the disembodied succubus removing Registry members from time. But no matter how hard Flynn works, she makes little progress. Using her abilities takes a mental and physical toll, and she's so tired that she can't keep an eye on Gen, who's struggling with her dark magic addiction. When Tempest sets her sights on Genesis, Flynn is pushed to her breaking point. Can she embrace her power once and for all and be the hero Gen needs? Dead Woman's Secret is the thrilling conclusion to Elle E. Ire's spine-tingling, immersive Nearly Departed trilogy. Fans of lesbian fiction, psychic problem-solvers, and badass heroines will lose themselves in this sexy, spooky paranormal adventure.
