2/20/2015

Stella Ford’s grasp on reality is already loose, and it’s about to come undone.

When the college junior flees Chicago and leaves her toxic family behind, she heads for coastal Maine to find the one person who brought her peace years ago: Sam Bishop. But the Sam she once knew now has painful secrets.

Stella is determined to heal them both. Healing, however, is a challenge when the walls of her everyday existence collapse. And when Sam’s best friend is his worst enemy.

When the line between life and death blurs.

When an end is just a beginning.

When lust and rage rule.

Yet during extraordinary chaos, there can be extraordinary love, even if that love comes with a twist.

Welcome to death tripping.

A thriller, a paranormal, and a passionate romance, CLEAR crosses genres and breaks boundaries.

Stella Ford remembers how life used to be before he father mysteriously disappeared. At least her sister used to love her back then. She remembers how Amy looked at her with pure disdain and told her to leave and never come back to Chicago. So she ran toward the only real good that she has ever known – Sam Bishop.

“Reluctantly, I drop my hands and try to step away from him. But Sam only gives me a few inches before, with his arms still encircling my neck, he dips his head down so that we are nose to nose.
"Everything will be okay. Good things last, the bad things will fade away. So go find your good."
His lips touch mine, barely brushing against me before he presses his mouth harder and kisses me. It's probably only seconds that pass, but they are seconds that will stay with me over these upcoming years when there is no Sam Bishop.”

Sam can hardly believe his eyes. The girl that he kissed all those years ago in a blizzard is standing on his deck in coastal Maine and she’s even more beautiful than she was then. So many things have changed since they were last together. He’s now infinitely more broken and damaged.

There is still something unexplainable that draws them together like magnets and for just a moment he lets himself believe that they can forget their past and just be in love. But when someone from his past comes crashing back, how can he ever explain that even though Sam saw him murdered before her very eyes and felt his blood on her hands that he’s really not dead at all. Can she somehow accept that he can now trip the lines between life and death?

Besides,” he says smiling, “can’t you feel it? It’s a good day for death.”

CLEAR is unlike any other book by Jessica that I have ever read. It’s much more complex and intriguing than first meets the eye. Yes, it has all of the hallmarks of her great love stories but it’s also a paranormal trip that left me wide-eyed and gasping as the plot unfolded!

The characters, the story and the hypnotic sensory prose were nothing short of flawless. Don’t pass this one up! It’s really that remarkable…
