Powerless
A paranormal investigator, a cute ghost, and a monster find themselves trapped inside an abandoned school. No, it’s not the opening line of a joke. That’s become my life.
During the day, I’m Cat, a full-time college student and cupcake decorator. My nights belong to the Paranormal Society of Mannor County where I communicate with the dead-a subject that’s fascinated me ever since the plane crash which robbed me of my parents and my childhood memories. Someday, I hope to encounter a spirit who has seen my mom or dad.
I met cute ghost guy during a recent investigation. From his cryptic messages, I get the feeling he knows me. Why does my cat recognize him? Ghost guy won’t say. Instead, he follows me around, popping up unexpectedly. At first he creeped me out and now, I’ve grown accustomed to having him around.
The monster is the stuff of nightmares. Combined with the dreams of strange kids, this monster and ghost guy are connected to my past. Some are trying to awaken my memories, another is trying to protect me, while the other wants me dead.
What can I do to get the pieces of my life back together and stay alive?

I usually don't read novellas because I like a fully fleshed out story with characters that develop overtime. However, I really enjoyed this short and eerie story. Laurie Treacy is a fantastic writer and someone who has helped me greatly on my journey (no bias). The only thing is I wish that this story was longer, as I'd like to learn more about the characters, especially Adrian. That ending did a number on me and now I want more!
Cat was an interesting one. Aside from the fact that she's a ghost hunter, she had no recollection of who she was or where she came from, and I was intrigued and wanted to go along with her on this journey to find out what had happened. I enjoyed the twists. I never warmed up to her boyfriend from the beginning and just had a suspicion about him, so I wasn't too surprised of his position. However, the fact that Cat and Adrian were more connected than she thought gave me chills.
Like I said, it's a short story, but that doesn't make it any less enjoyable. The writing is awesome; so fast-paced and lucid. And the overall plot is engrossing. I highly recommend giving this one a read, but not at night, as one could be terrified of the ghostly activities that takes place.
