Beyond Sight
In scenic Saratoga Springs, where the past and present collide, dark secrets awaken, and the ghosts of capitalism wreak havoc on the young. Julie Sykes, a young woman with long-repressed supernatural powers, is inexplicably drawn to the enigmatic Damian Quinn, but when a malignant spirit possesses him, she must unlock her powers to save him. It all begins innocently enough when Julie and Damian explore an abandoned Victorian house built by a wealthy black farming family during the Gilded Age. Now slated for suburban renewal, the house mysteriously resists demolition. Little do Julie and Damian know that their actions will awaken vengeful spirits and set off a chain of events with dire consequences. As they fight for survival using a blend of energy work and quantum mechanics, they unwittingly unleash the powers of Henry Hilton, a dead white millionaire who came into his fortune by sinister means and scandalized the country when he banned Jews from his Grand Union Hotel in 1877 in Saratoga. Meanwhile, no one will tell Julie how her father died or why she can't find any pictures of him. Will Julie succeed in saving Damian before he kills someone? Will she discover the cause of her father's death? Or will they both be consumed by the relentless forces that haunt them? Luminous and heart-poundingly suspenseful, Beyond Sight traces how the ongoing struggle between the privileged and the marginalized haunts us to this day on both the physical and the spiritual planes.

Beyond Sight by Lale Davidson is just what readers want to read in October to get you in the Haloween spirit ... or any time of the year really.
In Beyond Sight readers are introduced to the Sykes family. Julie Sykes is in college living at home with her mother. Julie's father died when she was young, she doesn't remember him and when she questions her mother about him, she clams up. Julie experiences episodes and wierd things happen and she doesn't know how to explain them ... little does she know that she is gifted, just like her father was.
While Julie is attending classes at college, she is hanging around with her friends, Samantha, Jonathan and Damian. She is developing feelings for Damian and hopes that he is feeling the same towards her. Unfortunately just when they decide to take the relationship out of the friend zone, Damian becomes "sick".
Julie then meets Athena who will help her unlease her true potential but it will be a long and scary ride and wil involve a lot of people, some alive and some not alive.
There is a lot to Beyond Sight and so much more that I could talk about but I really do not want to give anything away and I rreally hope that I have said enough so that you will go grab your copy and dig in. I believe you will thoroughly enjoy the story.
