The clock is ticking, and it will take every ounce of grit RaeJean has to solve this mystery and outwit the dangers that threaten her present while she sifts through the past.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n CLICK TO PURCHASE:<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n Amazon<\/a> | B&N<\/a> | Series on Amazon<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n +Add to Goodreads<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n She\u2019s published in seven anthologies including Granbury Writers\u2019 Bloc (2019, 2022); Key West Writers Guild (2023); and SinC North Dallas (2022, 2023, 2024).<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n She\u2019s a member of MWA, Florida Chapter, Sisters in Crime National, Sisters in Crime North Dallas, Granbury Writers\u2019 Bloc, and Key West Writers Guild.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n WEBSITE <\/a>\u25c6 BOOKBUB <\/a> \u25c6 GOODREADS<\/a> <\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n INSTAGRAM<\/a> \u25c6 FACEBOOK<\/a> \u25c6 AMAZON <\/a><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n 01\/14\/25<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n Sybrina’s Book Blog<\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n Spotlight<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n 01\/14\/25<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n LSLL Blog<\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n Spotlight<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n 01\/15\/25<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n Jennie Reads<\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n Review<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n 01\/16\/25<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n Rebecca R.
