Buried Dolls
by Lynn Hones
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
GENRE:
YA Paranormal/Romance
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
Jody had the
misfortune of breaking her ankle. The only available apartment to convalesce in
is a derelict mansion just outside of town. The tenants prefer to keep to
themselves except when sneaking strange dolls into her rooms. Suffering from
loss of memory after a horrific event destroyed her biological family, Jody
clutches at straws trying to find out who she is and why some people in the
house leave her clues to get out or get murdered. Find out if Jody regains her
memory, what happened to her family and who, among her friends, is actually her
enemy, working to see her killed.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
EXCERPT TWO:
Adam
took a sip of his beer. “Let’s just say I’ve seen some things. Things I wish I
hadn’t seen. As much as I love my friends, Toron and Astrid, they practice
certain aspects of voodoo. Not voodoo, per se, but something closely related.
More of a combination of different beliefs.”
“Now you have to open up and share with us
what these things you saw were.” Sienna was coming on strong and Jody could
tell by Adam’s demeanor he wanted the subject changed. Jody chimed in.
“He
said he’s not comfortable, Si, let it go, okay?” The mood in the room felt
charged and it wasn’t just the storm. Sienna, for a reason Jody couldn’t
understand, was out for the kill.
“What
do you know about voodoo dolls?” Sienna asked.
“I
know a little,” he said. “I know that they are misunderstood.”
“Misunderstood?”
“Yes.
The voodoo doll was not native to Haiti as most believe, but Europe. They’re a
combination of the European Poppet and the Western African practice of Bocio.”
He took a bite of his pizza and then wiped his face on a napkin. “Their
original purpose was not to harm people, but most people came to that
conclusion as the European Poppet was made as a sympathetic doll.”
“A
sympathetic doll?” Sienna said.
“Yeah,”
he said. “Whatever happens to the doll, happens in real life. Thus, the
sticking of pins. But dolls were used as far back as 1100 BC. Enemies of Ramses
III of Egypt made wax images to bring about his death.”
“Fascinating,”
Porter said.
“Anything
else,” Sienna said.
“Do
you have a candle?” Adam asked Jody.
