Dead Heat

Description

Alex is a machine whisperer. He can diagnose a broken-down car with a touch. But he's trapped in a dead-end life, exploited by a father who'd sooner slap him upside the head than say good morning. For two years Cole mentored Alex, providing a glimpse of kindness and hope. All that vanished with Cole's death. It's a broken comfort when he reappears in spirit form, but Alex is willing to take what he can get-until he learns Cole's efforts to protect him may have doomed his soul. Caught in a deadly spin, Alex can't get traction until an ailing '59 Studebaker steers Jade into his life. With a love of the paranormal and the disarming ability to see the good in Alex, she assures him Cole can reach the Other Side-if Alex escapes his father. But a previous terrifying attempt has convinced him it's impossible. Can he drum up the courage to try, or will Cole be earthbound forever? If you like gritty, compelling stories with true-to-life characters who make you cry and cheer, you'll love Lisa Nowak's Dead Heat. Perfect for fans of Laurie Halse Anderson, John Green, and Chris Crutcher. Dead Heat was a 2014 Finalist in The Kindle Book Review's Best Kindle Book
