"The Other Side: Melinda's Story"

If I tell you the story, will you believe it?

Her father begins to warn Melinda James from the ‘Other Side’ about terrifying and unbelievable upcoming events. His death was no accident, like everyone assumed. But Melinda doesn’t take her father’s words to heart. Soon, her family members and friends begin to disappear, and all she’s left with is a ‘crazy’ story that none of the psychiatrists will believe.

As she journeys from one dangerous incident to the next, her dead best friend and family members try to help from the ‘Other Side.’ Will it be enough? Can dead people protect the living?

Does this ‘Other Side’ even exist? Will Melinda get her new doctor, Alex Leever, to finally believe her so she can be freed from the asylum? As portals open and close and a new ‘friend’ arrives on the scene, Melinda must find a way to understand that the voices speaking are sending a dire warning: that the killers from the past still exist and are beginning to get far too close for comfort. 

Here's what they're saying:

"The Other Side: Melinda’s Story” is one of those rare paranormal thrillers that challenges as it entertains. Starr Reina's wondrous, chilling tale is the best exploration of paranoia and insular terror since Ira Levin's classic “Rosemary’s Baby.” Supremely crafted, masterfully crafted, and elegantly written, “The Other Side: Melinda’s Story” is a white-knuckled journey on the ride to hell."

Jon Land, bestselling author of “Pandora's Temple”

"Where Starr Reina is a master with murder and mystery, she is both surprising and fantastic with the supernatural!  “The Other Side: Melinda’s Story” was a page-turner I could not put down.  It starts off with a frightening twist at a funeral and will not let you go.  When you read this book DO NOT read it alone!" 

~ Donald Allen Kirch, author of “Reich” and co-author of “Green Lake.”

“Starr Gardinier Reina has created a gripping tale where nothing is as it seems. Reina gives us a brand new twist to consider on how the dead interact with the living.... What resides on The Other Side is not to be taken lightly.” 

~ Aiden James, bestselling author of The Judas Chronicles and Cades Cove
