Dylan thought it was just a game…
But when you open doors…
You never know what’s on the other side!
Dylan’s father is a technological mastermind and a genius at his craft. He has created the ultimate gaming system. The game is way beyond its years. The world is not prepared. It incorporates AI technology and is designed to take the user on the ultimate ride. It is the wave of the future.
But the company he works for is unwilling to take the risk and so his project is shelved.
Despondent but hopeful, Frank Wilson takes the system home to his fifteen-year-old son Dylan who tries the game out and is immediately hooked. The game starts out great and Dylan logs on every day, totally consumed by the new adventures and discoveries he’s made. And nothing happens, at first!
But after a few weeks, strange and scary things begin to appear and Dylan thinks that it’s a glitch in the system.
Dylan tries to “fix” the game before his father finds out but things go from bad to worse.

Sublet
Sublet L.C. Kincaide
An apartment to die for!
Life hasn’t been kind to Julia lately, and receiving a Tarot card in the mail from a mysterious sender doesn’t help. In fact, her two friends have also received one and agree that the card could just as easily be a harbinger of good fortune rather than ill tidings.
Refusing to be spooked, she sets aside the forewarning, focusing instead on moving to the affordable apartment she sublet in a gorgeous brownstone in a trendy neighborhood.
But no sooner does Julia move in than strange things start happening, which she attributes to her active imagination — she’s an artist after all — or possibly her pain meds. It hasn’t yet occurred to her that it could be something sinister instead.
Time will tell, but time isn’t on her side.

In the Silence
In the Silence M.R. Mackenzie
Anna Scavolini hasn’t set foot in Glasgow for ten years – and she’s not short of reasons…
On her first night back in town, what should have been the start of a relaxing Christmas getaway takes a decidedly macabre turn when she stumbles upon an old flame, Andrew Foley, bleeding to death on the snow-clad slopes of Kelvingrove Park.
Who killed Foley in such a brutal manner – and why? If the police have any leads, they’re keeping them under wraps. Convinced that Foley was deliberately targeted rather than the victim of a random attack, Anna begins her own investigation, and in so doing unearths a trail of long-buried secrets, leading back to a crime committed over a decade ago.
A crime so unspeakable its perpetrators are prepared to take their silence to the grave.

I am really enjoying this book. As I read, the scene plays in my mind which makes it hard to put down. The story has gripped me for sure.
