Ashes to Ashes: Experiment in Terror, Book 8

by Karina Halle

About this book

Life seems to be finding a rhythm for Perry Palomino and Dex Foray. With their paranormal web series, Experiment in Terror, reaching new heights of success and their relationship finally hitting a stable stride, the shadows usually lurking at their heels have finally started to recede. But in the world of the supernatural, peace is merely a precursor to a darker storm.

The team heads to the rugged Oregon coast to investigate a remote, crumbling academy that once served as a grim sanatorium for children dying of tuberculosis. Beneath the school’s atmospheric, historical facade lie secrets that refuse to stay buried. As Perry attempts to bridge the gap between her personal life and her dangerous career, she finds herself targeted by the restless spirits of children who have been waiting a century for a new playmate.

This chilling installment masterfully blends a slow-burn romance with terrifying ghost encounters. As the lines between the living and the dead blur, Perry discovers that the most dangerous spirits are the ones that refuse to let go. For fans of high-stakes paranormal romance, this gripping narrative proves that while Dex and Perry are stronger than ever, their greatest test of survival has only just begun.

A Captivating Serial Literary Experience!

May 9, 2014

BTW, love the book cover. Some might think that the use of the phrase \"literary experience\" is extreme. However, a rare few books and series are so much more than just a good read. They are \"literary experiences\" that allow you to know, taste, see, feel, witness and breath another place, another time; another world. Ahhh, Fiction! Remaining loyal to any Series is difficult because generally one has to wait a year and often longer for the next release. In the meantime, if you read as much as...

One of my all time favorite series

April 15, 2014

I knew I should have stopped reading as soon as Karina Halle announced that the release of the final book in the series was being pushed back until the end of July. I knew that if I finished it now, I’d be mad at myself because I’d have to wait months to find out what happens and Karina was likely going to end this book in a crazy cliffhanger. I tried waiting. I tried putting this book down and walking away. For a few days, I succeeded and I thought maybe I could make it a few months, but then...

Dex & Perry Forever!

August 20, 2014

I have been with Dex & Perry from the beginning, through their friendship & their ups & downs on Experiment in Terror. I remember how magical it was when they first made love, how broken Perry felt when she lost Dex along with their baby. I could not be happier that they've gotten to this sweet place in their relationship, retaining all the hot chemistry that makes them the perfect ghost hunting couple! I just kept thinking - nothing & no one better ruin this for Perry & Dex!! They travel back...

Karina Halle Does it Again!

December 31, 2013

This is latest book in Karina Halle’s excellent Experiment in Terror series. For some reason, I thought it was the last in the series with the exception of the one she is writing about the main character’s sister, Ada. Evidently I was very wrong! And the people next door probably could hear me yelling NOOOOOOO! at the end of the book! This time around, Perry and Dex are sent with the new producer of their show, Rebecca, to the coast of Oregon. They go to visit and stay at a haunted, former...

Halle does not disappoint!

December 28, 2013

Approximately two months after the events that occurred in Come Alive, the Experiment in Terror series resumes with the eighth full-length novel entitled Ashes to Ashes. Dex Foray and Perry Palomino are joined by their friend and show producer, Rebecca Sims as they drive up the Oregon coast to a town named Gary. Once there, they plan to investigate the old Sea Crest Sanatorium which now operates as the Oceanside Arts Academy, a school for artistically gifted children. The school now occupies...
