The Willow and the Wraith — Larissa Ladd

THE WILLOW AND THE WRAITH is the third part in Oakshade Manor, a six-part serialized paranormal fantasy. These short stories are meant to be read in order.

With the ghosts of Oakshade Manor growing stronger, Maxwell tries to keep Alexis focused on the real lead â€" a police report linking Amelia to Lakeview Cemetery. Maxwell's drive to find hard evidence competes with Alexis' visions constantly driving them apart as they fall in love.

When Alexis is temporarily possessed by a ghost, she elicits the help of an experienced psychic, who teaches her to protect herself from unwanted communications. After having been warned that not all ghosts are the same, Alexis grows confused by seeing her mother's spirit though she's may still be alive.

Could it be that what she's seen is a wraith?

That ghostly image leads her to want to figure out the mystery of the Willow grave before its too late.
