Ghostly figures playing tricks on the minds of the ordinary while wandering the halls of a New England inn. A locale known as the Disappearing Place, where souls inexplicably vanished over five decades. What does infinity hold? Does anything or anyone get buried and remain quiet for all time, or is death just a second life that lasts forever? From traversing the gnarled roots of trees reaching from the sand like claws, to the moment where one finds out the price of justice and who serves it, to a masquerade that can be murder—this collection was created to frighten, engage, entice and, worse yet, make you wonder what awaits you in eternity when your number is up. To believe in infinity means you must acknowledge that all things are possible, and Suspense Publishing has brought together a menu of bestselling authors to express their beliefs in those endless possibilities. Using the art of mystery and suspense, these well-known writers have merged their innate talents to create INFINITY . This haunting choir of voices is made up of your favorites who have elevated the literary scene with their astounding Kelley Armstrong, Allison Brennan, J.T. Ellison, Jamie Freveletti, K.J. Howe, Darynda Jones, Shannon Kirk, Tosca Lee, Sheila Lowe, Isabella Maldonado, Susan Santangelo, Susan Wingate, and Daryl Wood Gerber. Edited by one of the very best, Catherine Coulter, this anthology consists of memorable tales that open doors into thrilling and chilling realms you never knew existed.

My top 14 books of all time are as follows, in the following order—as in, if I was allowed only 14 books to bring to a deserted island where I was marooned for the rest of my life, these are what I would pack:
- Love in the Time of Cholera (Gabo)
- Orphan Master's Son (Adam Johnson)
- The Mummy Market (Nancy Brelis), tragically out of print, which makes ZERO sense because it's a classic
- The Incarnations (Susan Barker) AMAZING
- Life of Pi (Yann Martel)
- Night Circus (Erin Morgenstern)
- Memoirs of a Geisha (Arthur Golden)
- Swamplandia, and every single word ever written by: (Karen Russell)
- Everything is Illuminated (Jonathan Safran Foer)
- The Keep, Jennifer Egan
- The Sea (John Banville)
- Someone Else's Love Story, Joshilyn Jackson.
- Kiss the Girls (Patterson)
- The Great Alone, Kristin Hannah Further to my literary likes, I consider Gabriel Garcia Marquez and Charles Dickens to be actual, literal geniuses; if we had brain scans of their brains, we wouldn't understand what we're seeing. I prefer more prose than dialogue; prefer poetry over intricate plot, but love if I can have both (hence, Love in the Time of Cholera being #1 and Orphan Master's Son #2). But I'm never really consistent with this anyway. If I'm pulled to keep reading the book, I'll keep reading the book. My reviews are all and will only ever be of books I love. I do not finish books I don't like, so it's not fair for me to review them.

Kelley Armstrong has been telling stories since before she could write. Her earliest written efforts were disastrous. If asked for a story about girls and dolls, hers would invariably feature undead girls and evil dolls, much to her teachers' dismay. All efforts to make her produce "normal" stories failed. Today, she continues to spin tales of ghosts and demons and werewolves, while safely locked away in her basement writing dungeon. She's the author of the NYT-bestselling "Women of the Otherworld" paranormal suspense series and "Darkest Powers" young adult urban fantasy trilogy, as well as the Nadia Stafford crime series. Armstrong lives in southwestern Ontario with her husband, kids and far too many pets.
