Two short stories by Jordan Elizabeth

 

Dreadful Summer (Hayview Manor)

Another great short story by this author.
Annie is a great character, her family and home life made for an entertaining read.
Her friend goes missing, no way would she leave her child. Annie finds clues and is determined to solve the mystery. Could she get so caught up in finding out that she endangers her own life?
A very intriguing story, I loved it.

Annie Carmichael is excited for the summer. Bonfires, the lake, and peaceful days on the family farm are just what she needs before her hectic, senior year begins. Best of all, her family hires a hot new farm hand who seems more than a little interested in her. The calm is shattered when her sister's best friend, Nora, disappears, leaving behind her toddler son.The police are stumped, assuming the young woman simply left Cloverville. Annie's sister knows Nora would never abandon her child. Annie sets out to discover the truth - one she may not want to really know.

Clay House

This story alternates between the early 1900s and the present day. Evil is all around this house and land, changing the lives of all who live here. What is the creepy doll and what power does it hold.
I was fascinated and couldn't put it down, settled in until I had finished. Totally creepy in places but so interesting. Great story, I loved it.

When the land remembers evil, no one is safe.

When fifteen-year-old Tatiana Barrie and her family move to a small town in New York, the locals say their new home, known as Clay House, is haunted. The Barries should have believed them.

Soon Tatiana's little brother starts acting strange. He sees imaginary friends; he knows things he shouldn't. Tatiana's stepfather becomes abusive and erratic.

Between possessed dolls and an unknown evil taking over her family, Tatiana is terrified more every day.

She should be even more afraid.
