The Death of Mrs. Westaway
by Ruth Ware
"On a day that begins like any other, Harriet Westaway receives a mysterious letter bequeathing her a substantial inheritance from her grandmother. Hal knows there's been a mistake; her grandparents have been dead for more than twenty years, and she hasn't had anyone to help her since her mother died three years ago. But the bills are piling up and Hal is running out of options. Down on her luck and worn thin by the weight of adulthood, Hal can't help but wonder if the cold-reading skills she's honed as a tarot card reader might help her claim the money. Soon, Hal finds herself at Trepassen, the sprawling estate in the English countryside where the deceased Mrs. Westaway's family has gathered to pay their respects and claim their bequest. But it doesn't take long for Hal to realize that there's something very, very wrong about this strange situation...and the inheritance is at the center of it."

The 49th mystic
by Ted Dekker
"Some say the great mystery of how one can live in two worlds at once died with Thomas Hunter many years ago. Still others that the gateway to that greater reality was and is only the stuff of dreams. They are wrong. In the small town of Eden, Utah, a blind girl named Rachelle Matthews is about to find out just how wrong. When a procedure meant to restore Rachelle's sight goes awry, she begins to dream of another world so real that she wonders if Earth might only be a dream experienced when she falls asleep in that reality. She is the prophesied one who must find and recover five ancient seals--in both worlds--before powerful enemies destroy her. If Rachelle succeeds in her quest, peace will reign. If she fails, both worlds will forever be locked in darkness."
