The Saints of Midland — T.L. Schaefer

A smart-talking witch and a ghostly deputy travel another dimension to fulfill a centuries-old legend, and find a love that transcends every world imaginable. Amanda Sims is a woman with a problem. Her brother disappeared in the woods on Halloween night. When she enters the forest with enigmatic, sexy-as-hell deputy Josh Kent, the last thing this self-professed witch expects is a spiritual presence the size of the Grand Canyon. Josh holds his own secrets. He recognizes the entity in the forest, and offers to trade his immortal soul for that of Amandas brother. But the Keeper of the Way has other ideas. When Amanda offers a part of herself in exchange for her brothers safe passage, the Keeper thrusts her and Josh into another land. A land where scarlet-tipped grain waves across an endless landscape, where parrots speak the Queens English, where the dead walk and where she hears of the prophecy for the first time. Legend speaks of a human witch and an Earth-walker who will free the lost souls of Midland. But from there the details are murky, doled out in bits and pieces as they travel the countryside, encountering spirits in every conceivable shape and form. But Amanda and Josh find more than the prophecy in Midlandthey find a love that transcends every world, every dimension, imaginable.
