Taryn's Camera (1-5) ~ Rebecca Patrick-Howard [BluA].epub

Windwood Farm
Windwood Farm has a terrible secret-one that’s been buried for nearly 100 years. Taryn Magill aims to uncover it…or die trying.
This mixed-media artist and urban explorer has a great love for old, abandoned houses and 30-year-old Taryn has never met one she didn’t like. In fact, she’s made a career of painting these sad, often derelict structures, to show them in their former glory for her clients.
The "Devil's House" may be more than she can deal with, though!
The locals are afraid of it and even vandals have avoided this once grand stone farmhouse, claiming the sinister ghosts in the house aren't worth the adventure. Still, hired to paint it before it’s demolished, Taryn’s determined to make friends with the house that terrifies everyone else.
Their fears may not have been unfounded.
Whose cries echo throughout the house and what do they want? What force is SO powerful that it won’t allow the upstairs bedroom to be touched? Does the 93-year-old vanishing of the next door neighbor have anything to do with the house’s mysteries?
Taryn wants answers and the house may be trying to tell her because now, when she looks through her camera, she doesn’t have to use her imagination to capture the past–

SHE CAN SEE IT!

Can Taryn escape with her sanity and life AND figure out what happened before the house comes down? Because now someone is trying to kill her! Using what her camera reveals and her wits, she’ll try to unravel the mysteries of the farm and get out before it’s too late!


Griffith Tavern
As a former stagecoach inn, Griffith Tavern saw many people come and go and witnessed numerous tragedies and triumphs over the years. Now, the old abandoned building will almost surely be demolished, all in the name of progress. When the Friends of Griffith Tavern hire Taryn to come in and do one last painting she assumes it will be a quick, easy job. She’s in desperate need of cash flow and the quaint town and lovely hostess of her B&B appear to be a perfect combination.
But something is watching Taryn, and waiting…Something that slithers in the dark and clutches at her, even invading her dreams.
Ghost stories about the old inn are few. Indeed, the mistress, Permelia, who ran it alone for almost 50 years was well-respected. Nobody fears Griffith Tavern. But maybe they should...
In death, Permelia seems to want something from Taryn and she won’t let her go until she’s made sure Taryn understands. But solving this mystery may just cost Taryn her life!
Still mourning the death of her fiance and reeling from the events that nearly killed her at Windwood Farm, Taryn struggles to piece together the fragments of the mystery that shroud the old place.
It might be too late to save the spooky old building, but is it too late to save Taryn?


Dark Hollow Road
A young girl is missing and Taryn's camera is showing her a past she NEVER wanted to see...
Beautiful, young Cheyenne Willoughby had her whole life ahead of her. And then, on her 18th birthday, she simply vanished without a trace, rocking her small Georgian town to the core. Although her parents keep up the hope that she’ll return again one day, the years are passing by without any sign of Cheyenne or what might have happened to her.
Now, multi-media artist Taryn Magill has moved onto the very farm where Cheyenne spent her last night. She went there to teach a class at the local college, but her job takes a completely different turn when she’s thrown into the middle of Cheyenne’s mystery.
Armed with her camera, Miss Dixie, that can see the past and bringing along her childhood friend Matt for the ride, Taryn aims to find out what happened to Cheyenne once and for all. Is the young girl still out there, trying to find her way home? Or did she succumb to some horrible fate? As Taryn finds herself more and more entrenched in Cheyenne’s mystery she begins unraveling the secrets of the rural southern town.
The spirits here are restless, but it might be the living she must fear the most!


Shaker Town
Taryn's camera is finally revealing a past to her that she's always longed to see-the mysterious Shakers as they were 100 years ago. But is she seeing a past she hadn't bargained for?
Taryn Magill is ready for a break from the supernatural. She'd never planned on being a psychic detective. When she’s offered the job at historic Shaker Village, known colloquially as “Shaker Town,” in central Kentucky, she’s ecstatic. The quaint, beautifully restored site it just what she needs to unwind, regroup, and relax.
But the ghosts are restless.
At first, the ghostly images of the past that her beloved camera, Miss Dixie, picks up are exciting. Taryn is finally able to see something that many visitors and historians would kill for–the mysterious Shakers in action. The village is alive like never before.
Things take a deadly turn, however, when Taryn witnesses a murder.
Evil lurks among the idyllic setting and it’s wrapping its icy fingers around Taryn, threatening to pull her under into a world she might never escape. Can she solve one of Shaker Town’s most horrifying mysteries and finally put things to rest there? Or will she succumb to the evil and madness that haunt her?


Jekyll Island
Jekyll Island is known for its ghosts, as well as its fascinating history, but now the two are about to take Taryn on a wild ride she’ll never forget!
Jekyll Island: celebrated for its beautiful historic hotel, alligators, gorgeous beaches, wild beauty, intriguing history that stretches back nearly 5 centuries, and its spirits…When Taryn’s hired to paint two of the hotel’s historic cottages she’s excited at the chance to spend the summer on one of the Atlantic’s most stunning islands.
There’s a formidable presence, however, that stalks the artist and history buff and grasps her within its ominous shadows. The past has never been more alive. It clings to her, taunts her, and threatens her sanity and very life.
A fire consumed most of the hotel more than 100 years ago. The culprit was hanged for his crime, as well as for the murder of his young wife Rachel. Is it Rachel’s ghost back for vengeance (or help) or is it something more sinister that clings to the island and claws its way into Taryn’s camera and dreams?
One thing is for sure–if she makes it out of THIS place alive, Taryn will never be the same!
