Crossroads — Alexie Aaron

The Martins are absolutely ready for the arrival of the twins. The house is finished, and Nanny Berta has arrived. This time Mia is determined it will be a hospital delivery. Everyone, including Murphy, has looked at every contingency. Unfortunately, the paranormal world didn't get the memo.

Paula and Noah Glynn's house is haunted by a revenge seeking ghost who has followed them from house to house. Paula seeks out help from Burt Hicks, and he and PEEPs start an investigation. The investigation becomes complicated when a terrorist element is discovered, and Whitney Martin and his federal paranormal investigation group arrive.

Up at Eagle's Nest, Stephanie, an environmental blogger, has discovered that the lumberjacks are removing trees with nests in them. She takes pictures but is discovered and races home on her bicycle. She and a logging truck reach the narrow bridge at the same time. Stephanie chooses to ride the pedestrian walkway and is attacked by an entity hitching a ride on a logging truck. She is knocked into the river as the truck passes. Murphy races to help the submerged young woman, but moving water isn't a ghost's best friend.

Meanwhile, the truck, now under control of the entity, is racing towards the crossroads where Mia waits at the light. She sees the approaching truck and tries to move the PEEPs van out of harm's way. The trucker regains control of the truck and tries to stop it, but the brakes lock up and it jackknifes, sending the trailer towards Mia. The last thing Mia hears before the trailer hits her is Murphy calling for help.

“Crossroads” is about family and the chaos involved in the welcoming of two new Martins into the fold while dealing with dangerous ghosts and a threat from the past, who is determined to bring horror into Mia's perfect little world.

“Crossroads” is book 27 of the “Haunted Series.”
