Visions that warn her they are all in danger. Things escalate when one of her teammates suddenly disappears while the others, including members of The Ghost Dudes, slowly come to the horrifying realization that the legends about Meadowlark Asylum may actually be true. And the Monster won't rest until it claims another victim. This is Book 1 in The Ghost Seekers Paranormal Mystery series.
