Madigan Mine

Author(s): Kirstyn McDermott

Paranormal Fiction

Alex doesn't know what he wants to do, how to connect with people or what's good for him. He drifts his way through dead-end jobs and fumbled relationships, unable to find a way out of the rut his life has become. Then he runs into Madigan Sargood and everything changes. Madigan is beautiful and impulsive, enigmatic and passionate beyond measure. This is what it means to live, Alex realises, and to love. Never mind that she can be somewhat possessive. Never mind that his best friend thinks there's something wrong with her, something dangerous even. Madigan fills Alex's life with significance; he will put up with anything to be with her. Until, without any warning, she kills herself. Now Alex can't seem to get her out of his head, and his world - along with his sanity - begins to disintegrate. Blackouts and missing time, conversations he can't recall, people he can't remember. Is this the product of a diseased and lovesick mind, or can Madigan really be trying to communicate with him? When the past threatens to obliterate the future, Alex is forced to take action. He must discover the sinister reason why Madigan took her own life - and why she won't lie still in her grave.
