It's just another day in Tara's lunatic life . . . All during the day at school, Tara kept picturing the moment when she and Nate would find DeeDee's grave. Even the classes she had with Flynn, who made everything fun, never seemed to end. By the time the last bell rang, she was fired up like a roman candle on the Fourth of July. She bolted from her seat, made a quick stop at her locker, and slipped out a side door instead of taking the front, knowing full well she was going to miss seeing Flynn. She didn't have time to delay or explain, and she had a feeling he wouldn't be all that thrilled in what she was doing. He was pretty cool about her psychic stuff, but digging for bodies fell way out of the realm of normal-even for her. Sharon Sala is the bestselling author of romance, suspense and historical novels for adults, and now, of the popular Lunatic Life mysteries for young adults. She's hard at work on her next Lunatic Life novel. Visit her at www.SharonSalaBooks.com. less

Do Tara and Flynn stand a ghost of a chance?The bad guys are after a hidden fortune that belongs to Flynn O’Mara’s dying father—they think Tara can use her psychic powers to find it for them.

She’ll need plenty of help from her spirit friends if she and Flynn are going to get out of this trouble alive. “Look out!” Tara screamed, as the sports car spun toward them. The car hit them twice—first on the driver’s side fender, then as Flynn’s car started to spin, again on the back bumper. “Hold on!” Flynn yelled, as their car flipped once, then went airborne, over the guard rail, and into Boomer Lake. Tara came to as the car was sinking nose first into the water and quickly unbuckled her seat belt. If they were going to survive, they would have to get themselves out. “Flynn! Unbuckle your seatbelt. I’m going to roll down the windows so we can swim out.” Then she saw Flynn, unconscious and slumped over the steering wheel. Frantically, she unbuckled his belt and tried to pull him toward her, but the steering wheel was too tight against his chest. “I can’t breathe,” he groaned. “Help me, Tara, help me.”Tara began screaming at Flynn, begging him to move as the water rushed up to their chests—then their necks. She was holding Flynn’s face out of the water, pushing him as far up as she could until their heads were touching the roof of the car. She couldn’t believe this was happening. It was just like her dream. They were going to die. Where was her backup when she needed them? “Millicent! Henry! Uncle Pat! Someone! Anyone! Help! Help!” Seconds later, the water was over their heads. less
