From the Ashes — Jo Ramsey

Shanna's finding it hard to adapt to her new life. And now Ken has begun to show more than a friendly interest. Shanna always thought Ken only liked her because they were neighbors, but now he's taking her to the Harvest Dance and wants her to be his girlfriend. Shanna wants to trust him, but isn't sure she can. She fears he wants more from her than she's willing to give. Meanwhile, Shanna becomes aware that the other-worldly entity she and Jonah know as EDD once again seeks a portal into our universe. The entity finds a potential portal in a substitute teacher dismissed from the school for assaulting a student. That's not the only troubling thing about the woman; she's also hiding a dangerous secret about her own abilities. It's up to Shanna and Jonah to persuade the former-teacher that she's in danger, and to allow them to help.
