In a small town in Washington, safety doesn't exist. Trust is only a word, and everything's surreal. A serial killer lives within these streets, narrowing in on one specific person-Vanessa Martinez. Vanessa was a very happy person until chaos happened. Her friends were acting strange toward her as if they were hiding a deep secret. The serial killer strikes in, luring Vanessa to danger. Suspicious notes appeared everywhere Vanessa went. As Vanessa proceeds, she gets closer to the truth. What happens though when the serial killer is revealed? Will she choose the right path? Or fail terribly?

Based on a true story, this tale tells the story of a homeless dog from the Dominican Republic who finds her forever home when she least expects it. This lovable potcake, Rumba, spends her days roaming the island for food and shelter, when by chance she befriends a sweet young girl named Megan who is on vacation with her dad. Megan quickly discovers that Rumba has nowhere to call home, and is determined to figure out a way to rescue her. Working quickly and with compassion, Megan and her dad arrange medical care and travel plans to bring their new furry friend home to New York City. It's a scary but exciting adventure that includes a full belly, new fur siblings, and a big city, but most of all, a warm loving home where she can truly thrive.

She shares her in-depth interviews with ten contemporary practitioners of spirit marriage, including a Faery Seer, a Shakta Tantric, a West African Shrine Keeper, a New Orleans Voodoo Mambo, Haitian Vodou practitioners, and a ceremonial magician. Through these respectful interviews, the spirit-marriage practitioners tell their stories of initiation and of having a spouse who is both otherworldly and able to assist in waking- world activities. They offer intimate insight into this growing global practice and its larger evolutionary purpose. We learn about their experiences of first contact, the decision to marry, how the relationship is upheld by their community, and the impact on their other relationships. We also learn about the risks and challenges as well as one example of divorcing a spirit. Sharing her personal experience, the author discusses in detail her own spirit marriage, including the erotic nature of being "spirit filled" and her encounters with her Faery beloved. She explains how to cultivate a spirit marriage, sharing precautions and practices to spiritually prepare yourself, interpret your paranormal encounters, and navigate the potential challenges of spirit marriage. Presenting the first study of the transcultural, shamanistic practice of spirit marriage, this book shows how bonded relationships with spirits are needed now more than ever to assist with spiritual evolution.
