Mona and Mason — Amanda Siegrist

Let's get spooky. But not too spooky! Join Mona & Mason in the Paranormal Chronicles full of mystery, humor, a little bit of creepiness, and a black cat with attitude! Enjoy three spooktacular short stories in volume 1.The Doll HouseHe's a ghost. She's not afraid.Buying a house without seeing it first might not have been the best plan when Mona decided to run away from her problems. Doors slamming without notice, a dumb cat that won't leave her alone, and a handsome man who only appears when he touches her with a touch so cold, it numbs her to the bone. Yet she never wants him to let go. Life just got more complicated, but she's up for the challenge of solving how Mason became a ghost and helping him to move on, follow the light...or whatever a ghost is supposed to do. Only problem with that, the house has another plan. If she's not careful she could be soon joining Mason on his side.Witch Way to TurnA journal full of secrets...Mona is determined to uncover the truth her mother kept from her, starting with meeting an aunt she never knew she had. But before her aunt will divulge any answers, she needs help vanquishing some nasty vampires. Mission accepted. Not that Mona knows how to kill a vampire, but it can't be too hard, right? A stake to the chest, chop the head off, sprinkle a little garlic and holy water. One of those things should do the trick. But there's more going on than meets the eye. Can she trust the woman she just met but shares blood with? In a world filled with more questions than she has answers, it's hard to know. But one thing Mona does know: she's not about to let anyone tell her what to do or hurt the man she loves.A Simple HalloweenNothing is ever what it seems...It's that time of the year, and Mona gets to have fun with the spooktacular holiday, being a witch and all. She's embraced who she is, so why not enjoy it. A little trouble with some neighborhood teenage bullies gives her the perfect opportunity to stretch her witchy fingers. With some practice, those boys will learn not to pick on her anymore. But all of her devious plans at revenge come to a screeching halt when one of them knocks on her door asking for help finding his cat. Well, asking Mason, who accepts. Fine. They'll help the miscreant, but it doesn't mean she's happy about it. How hard can it be for a witch, former ghost, and some vampires to find a missing cat? Not hard at all because she has a few tricks--and treats--up her sleeve.
