About this ebook
With the rift closed for the season and no more monsters to fight, Daelin Long gets bored as librarian in the podunk town of Settler, Oregon. A job interview and her brother’s arrival present a tempting opportunity to escape, until her brother and her best friend, a ghost, disappear.
While Daelin searches for them, more mysteries pile up: dead people coming back to life, portraits of the town founders replaced with strange white trees, and people on the other side of the rift returning. It’s impossible. The portal that allows monsters from other universes to come to Earth is sealed until next summer.
The Rifters, a secret group protecting our world, believe the troubles are nothing more than the tantrums of an offended ghost. Daelin disagrees. If she’s right, the evil hell-bent on destroying Earth has new technology making the rift more deadly.
Before the monster summons the next apocalypse, Daelin must find it and destroy it.
Book 3 in the Rifter series.

In "The Reader", the third book in the Rifters series, by M. Pax, introduces us to Daelin's and Charming's younger brother Cobb. After two previous harrowing adventures with creatures from the Rift (a portal connecting 42 universes including Earth) Daelin can finally rest after the Rift closes with the Fall Equinox, or can she? Her best friend in Settler (her only friend) is a ghost named Cordelia who mysteriously disappears from her usual resting spot in the library. How strange? Even Earl Blacke and his friend Gussie Crane come in from the desert to help out. I especially enjoy Earl's character development as he overcomes past life trauma with the help of Gussie, who gets her strength from the Goddess she communes with in the desert. I enjoyed reading this story as it adds additional story to the series and sets up for more action to which I look forward. I am grateful to the author for providing a free review copy in exhange for my honest review.

I received an advanced reader's copy from the author for an honest review. Mary Pax has done it again with her third book in The Rifters series. She has spun a tale of intrigue, mystery, horror, family, friendship, and love.The characters are so well developed its as if you know them. All Daelin wants to do is find her sister and protect her brother and she'll fight monsters to do so. Settler is supposed to be calm after the fall equinox but somehow "something" slipped thru the rift. Crazy times ahead!
