Clayton is an interesting man with an even more interesting gift…the ability to talk to ghosts. But life wasn’t always so strange for Clay. After his older brother dies while saving him from drowning beneath the broken ice, 12-year-old Clayton York awakens to discover he can communicate with his brother’s spirit. His unique relationship with his ghost brother is a strange source of comfort to him as he grows up and learns to hone his gift.
His supernatural ability to see earthbound spirits makes life difficult, but actually living with them can be a real trial. Along with the unusual group of wise-cracking friends he now resides and works with as a detective in Las Vegas, NV, Clay must unravel a peculiar string of violent behavior and murders involving the occult. Can they figure out how to stop demons from destroying the world as they know it?
Racing against the clock to save humanity, Clay follows a path of self-discovery as he finds out what having true faith really means. Clayton is drawn into an unlikely alliance with non-corporeal friends, spirits, angels and priests destined to fight the powers of darkness before all Hell breaks loose.

Growing up in an isolated area of the Texas Gulf Coast, Brandy Alexander found adventure, entertainment and friendship within the pages of her many books. When she wasn’t swimming, exploring or pretending to be a teacher, she spent days at a time lost in the fictional world of religious paranormal fantasy. Having spent so many years as a voracious reader, she has been heavily influenced by writers that include Frank E. Peretti, Ted Dekker, C.S. Lewis, Jerry B. Jenkins and Tim LaHaye.
Graduating from Stephen F. Austin State University with a degree in Secondary Education, she began her teaching career in Art and Theatre and eventually added English Language Arts, Reading and Writing to her list of subjects taught. It was a natural extension of her creative talents when she decided to write her first novel.
Despite her professional pursuits, Brandy is a devoted Christian who loves spoiling her husband and son with gourmet meals when she isn’t actively writing her next novel.
This story grabbed my attention from the beginning. It made me cry, laugh, and anxiously turn the pages to see what would happen next. It's one of the best "page turners" I've read in a long time!
The story draws you right in when twelve-year old Clayton races across the frozen pond and for the first time wins his older brother, Wayne. The ice breaks and Clayton falls into the icy water. Wayne rescues his little brother but does not survive. When Clayton’s parents tell him that Wayne passed away, Clayton finds it hard to believe as he can see and communicate with Wayne. Years later, Clayton works for the Las Vegas Police Department helping to solve difficult cases with the help of his ghostly friends. He needs to solve murders and violent episodes. Clayton along with sprits and angels will fight the powers of darkness. The story kept me turning pages wondering what was going to happen next. If you like paranormal religious fantasy stories, you will love this book.
This story may not have been my typical genre, but I am happy that I found it. The author impressed me with the research she used and incorporating it into the story seamlessly. Genesis mixed elements of pain, joy, fear and humor with Christian components throughout. Demons square off against humanity, and angels step in to help even the score when all He'll breaks lose! If you want to be entertained, this story will do it.
This book was well written. So often the books you read are the same story with different characters. This book keeps you guessing throughout. I like the fact that religion was included without being so forceful as to remove the plot. I found I could not put this book down til it was finished. Can’t wait for more.
Demons, ghosts, psychics, and priests. It's an urban fantasy with a strong God theme worked in. I'd guess this is her first novel, as there are a few clunky parts, but they don't really get in the way It has a good heart and a great ending.
I truly feel this is one of the most exciting and thrilling books I've ever enjoyed! Such a unique story, and so enthralling that it keeps the reader guessing and turning pages until the very end. Unbelievably satisfying!
Best book you will read in ages! You won't be able to out it down! The amazing characters are incredible and the story is exciting, enthralling, and beyond entertaining.... you will absolutely LOVE it will be dying for more!
