The Reader
The Rifters Series #3
by M. Pax
Genre: Fantasy
Synopsis
With the rift closed for the season and no more monsters to fight, Daelin Long gets bored as librarian in the podunk town of Settler, Oregon. A job interview and her brother’s arrival present a tempting opportunity to escape, until her brother and her best friend, a ghost, disappear.
While Daelin searches for them, more mysteries pile up: dead people coming back to life, portraits of the town founders replaced with strange white trees, and people on the other side of the rift returning. Itβs impossible. The portal that allows monsters from other universes to come to Earth is sealed until next summer.
The Rifters, a secret group protecting our world, believe the troubles are nothing more than the tantrums of an offended ghost. Daelin disagrees. If sheβs right, the evil hell-bent on destroying Earth has new technology making the rift more deadly.
Before the monster summons the next apocalypse, Daelin must find it and destroy it.
Book 3 in the Rifter series.

Excerpt
Earl Blacke put on a pair of optilyzers. They resembled aviator goggles from the 1920βs but performed a very different function. They had no buttons, operating by feeding off the energy of auras. Earl peered at Dante. His aura was nonexistent except for a few deep violet spikes. βWhy arenβt you glowing like a purple alien candle?β
Dante bordered on fidgeting.
βDoes this embarrass you?β Earl asked. βYou donβt like showing your non-Earthly colors?β
βI can conceal my aura, and for your safety I do.β Dante lifted his chin and surveyed the clearing carefully. βIβm not the issue. Why youβre seeing your girl is.β
βWhat if whatever brought her here is masking its aura? You may not be the only thing with such an ability.β
Dante stopped so short, Earl smacked into him hard enough he had to back pedal two steps to regain his balance.
βIβm not a thing. Iβm a sentient being with rights. Just like you.β Dante spat then continued to investigate.
βSince youβre not human, you donβt have human rights. What kind of rights are you talking about? Alienable rights, I suppose.β Unable to help himself, Earl guffawed as if he had never laughed in his life. It had been awhile since the urge tickled him.
Dante whirled and smacked Earl on the nose. βGet to work. If something is afoot, youβve scared it into the next universe by now.β
Gripping his stomach, Earl fought to settle down. βWhat are we hunting for? You seem to have something in mind.β
βA purple glow. When you find it, holler.β He wiggled his fingers to get Earl moving. βScatter, and donβt all go searching in the same place.β
