A Thrilling Must-Read!
Unravel secrets and mysteries with Bonnie Randall’s book, The Shadow Collector: Natalya & Owen
HAVEN’T YOU WONDERED? Undercover, on skid row . . . Owen Brophy, summoned by a street psychic, is alarmed when she knows his real name—and unnerved by her obstinate question: “Who did you abandon back home?”
Home. The Okanagan Valley. Owen hasn’t been there since he was a kid. Hasn’t seen his oldest friend—a guy he once loved like a brother, a man he’s long been estranged from—in years. Yet the psychic forecasts an ominous collision: past will crash against present when his old buddy exhumes a long-concealed secret—a secret more than one person has died for. A secret someone will kill to keep hidden.
OR MAYBE YOU KNOW
Unannounced, at her door . . . A grisly package arrives for Natalya Nikoslav, its cryptic verse clearly written by someone who knows her history something she, abandoned as a toddler, has never been able to unearth on her own. Shaken, Natalya scours her psychic shadows to see where this package has come from. She’s shocked by what she sees: her tombstone. Its death date waxes and wanes alongside an enigmatic spectre, a man she almost—almost!—recognizes, begging for her help. A retrocognitive, Natalya knows her psychic shadows are limited to the past . . . yet this man is unmistakably calling out from her future. And he’s frantic—they’ll both die if she doesn’t come home. But . . . where is home? Who is he? And when she finds him will she know . . .
Every flip of the page is a delightful treat for all our book lovers!
This month, may our book giveaways be an invitation to take you to new adventures, explore new authors, and expand your literary horizons.
And look no further for your next favourite read! Tellwell offers you a pack of fun-filled books for free.

Let us take you to a transformational journey with Tania Kiaizadeh’s book The Joy of Spirit.
“Re-examine all you have been told. Dismiss what insults your soul.” – Walt Whitman Tania

These celestial teachings are carefully crafted to share the wisdom of the spiritual world, the importance of joy and how to reconnect to one’s divine self.

If you are up to an adventurous read, check out Andrew S. M. Berger’s book The Demons Rising
A heart blackened by time, now reserved for hatred and despair. Vengeance—achievable through reaching the afterlife and gaining ultimate power—is the only way to satisfy an unquenchable thirst for justice. But, when a resurgence of hope blurs the line between retribution and madness, the blackened heart seeks to preserve what beauty is left within its grasp. Neeksus had hopes of life, until death seemed the only path. A voice beckons him to commit a final atrocious act: he must take the lives of as many individuals as possible, as well as his own. Once in the underworld, all will be made clear. A boy named Gabriel suits the requirements for Neeksus to attain his goal, residing in an earlier time and among space separate from the Milky Way. This boy holds a single hope: a girl dear to him, belonging to a fate worse than death. Neeksus can save her, but only if the boy kills and collects countless souls. Many will die, who will be sacrificed in Neeksus’s quest for revenge…
