Jasper

by Linda Cargill

School’s out. Opal and her friend Fern are looking for summer jobs without success. It even gives Opal bad dreams. A lady keeps calling her on the phone but she never gets hired. They apply for every fast food position in the shopping center. In the parking lot a dude is handing out windshield advertisements about jobs in Alberta, Canada at a swanky resort. The notices are signed by a lady named Jasper. Who is Jasper? Opal looks at the dude and sees a precious jasper stone on a gold band dangling from his neck. When she stares at the stone eyes are staring back at her —- the same eyes she saw in her nightmare.

Good Starter Paranormal Book

This is a good book for young teens or those just starting to read paranormal fiction who are not yet ready for the sex & violence usually associated with vampires, shifters, zombies, or ghosts. The book is well written in a simple manner which again endears itself to young teens or those who just want a simple good story to read. I found the storyline to be enjoyable and would recommend to anyone who enjoys the paranormal genre. For those of us who have been reading this genre for years it will be a simple, mellow read, but enjoyable nonetheless. For those just getting started reading this genre this is a perfect starter book!
