When young widow Kellyn O’Brien discovers her toddler has inherited the Shadow Ley fortune and estate, she thinks all of her problems are solved.
Unseen, a mysterious guardian dwells deep beneath the house. As the run-down mansion repairs itself, Kellyn is plagued by nightmares – windows into other dimensions that are as confusing as they are frightening.
Not sure what is real or imagined, Kellyn turns to her new friends for help. When they realize that their dreams are connected, they are determined to find the truth behind the unbelievable coincidence.
But the presence at Shadow Ley has something more diabolical in mind. And the friends must unravel the secrets before the insane entity takes more lives, beginning with theirs.

READ AN EXCERPT
Michael disappeared into the haze, his face
graying out and blending with watery droplets. Suddenly a baby cried. A soft
noise so quiet it hardly made an impression.
She stiffened. Again, a mewling echoed in
the distance. She leaned over the side of the tub to get a better view. Warm
mist coalesced into a lacy fog. On the other side of the bathroom a cradle
shimmered. The flowered linoleum floor supported a white wicker cradle with a
pinkish veil drawn across the opening. Four wooden legs held up the cradle with
white paint flecking off ancient legs.
Stunned, she pulled herself to her feet, got
out of the tub, and walked toward the cradle. She touched the wood, finding it
soft with mold, then drew the veil from the cradle as the material rotted away
in her hands. There, lying on a bed of stained red satin, was the decaying
remains of an infant, its mouth contorted in agony. Bits of skull showed
in-between wizened skin, its eyes gone, forever sightless. Her stomach
contracted and her breath hitched. From a depth she hadn’t known existed within
her, she screamed.
Kellyn’s
eyes flew open, her heart thumping in fear. One hand held Scott’s fingers in a
death grip while the other curled defensively around the child in her womb. She
drew in a deep breath while tears sprang from her eyes. Her heart ratcheted up
a beat, and the hand that protected her belly flew to her chest.
Jesus. I can’t breathe!

I haven't read this book already though I know this author. Though my friend from www.paperwriting.xyz has read this book and she advised me to read it. So, after reading your review I think I will read it as soon as I have some free time.
