Only Bauer Grant can pull off gorgeous
while dead. But staying dead is another thing entirely. When he wakes
up at his own funeral, the town of Mystique calls it a miracle, until
it happens again. Something is bringing the residents of Mystique
back to life, but what? Presley Caine finds herself caught up in the

is kidnapped soon after, she looks to Bauer’s brooding best friend
Sam, whose dad works for the powerful Mystique military base, for
answers. In her quest to discover the truth, Presley’s relationship
with Sam deepens, her feelings for Bauer are tested, and it becomes

strange events. But is she strong enough to handle the truth when it
is finally revealed?

Five things you may not know about the
town of Mystique:
The town of Mystique, Maine does not
exist anywhere other than in my mind. For some reason when I think
about mysterious towns, I think of Maine. Go figure. Perhaps it’s
all those Stephen King novels I’ve heard about. Here are a few
things, going into the story of MYSTIQUE, that just might help you
gain a little bit of insight into the town. =)
#1: Mystique is located on the
shoreline. Presley was promised a beach town, but didn’t realize
the water in Maine is cold ALL THE TIME. It’s crazy pretty there,
but cold.
#2: It is the quintessential small
town. So small that you have to drive about fifteen miles to hit a
Target.
#3: Most of the residents of Mystique
have lived there all their lives. When the military base moved in the
town grew a bit but not much. Only a select few employees of the base
were relocated, most were residents of Mystique already.
#4: Mystique was chosen specifically
for the location of the military base because of how secluded and
small of a town it is. Secrets are easier to keep this way. =)
#5: The Mystique military base rarely
fires their employees. Once you work there, you work there for life.
