"Whether a hunch, intuition, or something more sinister, Barbara knew she had no choice. Self-deception was no longer an option-comfortable, but not an option. She knew each denial she'd ever made left a scar on her soul, each one more painful than the last."

An epic battle between good and evil pits a mother who struggles to deny her paranormal powers against a megalomaniac intent on world destruction in Brenda Stinnett's riveting new novel, "Tenth Degree of the Paranormal."

Barbara Stevens has always struggled with her inexplicable powers. Her unwillingness to acknowledge her pent-up abilities has not, however, stopped her young daughter, Tiffany, from exercising her "own" powers.

Recruited by a group intent on honing and harvesting these paranormal powers to create a super race, Barbara and Tiffany are soon kidnapped and held on an island off the coast of Russia.

Suspicion soon grows that Tiffany may, in fact, manifest the ten highest paranormal abilities of astral projection, aura reading, bio-energy transference, levitation, past life regression, precognition, sight-by-touch, spontaneous healing, telekinesis, and telepathy.

If proven true, Tiffany's abilities will trigger an opening to the gates of hell. But can this descent into evil be stopped in time?
