". . . I did not know what to expect when I discovered this new Author, I can guarantee, however, I wait with baited breath for the next book. Dark Transition, will take your mind to the outer limits on a ride that exceeds, in my opinion, the greats, Clive Barker, John Saul, etc.. You can only experience this ride by reading this intense work of fiction. As an avid reader, I have never been so driven to read straight through a book, like this one, I was up all night and could not put it down and when I did, I was disappointed, not to find another one to pick up and experience. I cannot wait for this new Author to publish the next work of brilliance."( Karen Miller from Leesburg, Ga.)

Once you start reading this novel, you will not be able to put it down. The story is captivating to the point that you anxiously await a new novel from Mrs. Shockey. I would recommend this novel to anyone that enjoys a great thrill mystery."(Richard Scarbrough)

Echo Of Souls

Reviewed by Alice D. for Readers Favorite

  Echo of Souls is the perfect book for this season of Halloween. Ronni Parker taking a leave from her company, has driven hundreds of miles across Florida to find her inheritance, a cabin nestled on Paloma Road in the backwoods land next to the Suwannee River. Raised by adoptive parents, Ronnie has been left her family's home by the grandmother she has never known. Ronni's lawyer, Mr. Saxton, warns her that the nearby townsfolk may not welcome her cordially, and Ronni finds truth in his words. Her birth mother apparently killed herself after Ronni was given as a baby to others to raise, and river dweller Jack, good friend to Ronni's grandmother, refuses to stay in the cabin after dark. Ronni senses a presence in the old cabin, but when she is nearly drowned in the bathtub, she knows there are unseen "presences" that might mean to harm her. Can old river-folk storyteller, Netta Jackson, help Ronni uncover those otherworldly beings? Alishia Shockey has written an absorbing story that horror story fans will love. The plot holds true from beginning to end of the story. She does a first-rate job in revealing the identity of the ghost that haunts Ronni, leaving one word messages for her on the old sewing machine that runs itself. That Ronni's dead mother seems so loving, so welcoming, and then is totally lethal is a great piece of literary work. Characters such as Jack, Netta Jackson and Corbin Cox are well created and believable. This is a honey of a Halloween offering, a good read for any time of year. The wordy description at story's beginning is totally forgivable in light of the story to come.

No matter how I say this I will be over-simplifying the plot but here it goes. A sisterhood of women are trying to figure out how their lives are linked. But at the same time they are being hunted by someone who knows why their lives are linked. They are very powerful reincarnated people and their hunter wants to absorb their energy to make himself more powerful. As I said, this synopsis seriously over-simplifies the story. But, if I tell more I will be giving away far too many spoilers.In short this book was fabulous! I started reading and did not stop until I, regrettably, reached the last page. On page one, I was immediately flung into the turbulent lives of four very engaging women who had a friendship that went far deeper than an ordinary friendship. They fought and struggled their way through the story while clinging to each other, and the friendship that bound them.The writing style is descriptive and strong but, not overpowering. Things are described well enough to provide a clear picture but not over-worked enough to slow the story. At the same time, the story does not have a break-neck pace either. It rather it ebbs and flows like real life... well as real as life can be when one is being hunted like a dog, by someone who can read your mind. The author took several concepts and artfully wove them together into a new and amazing tapestry that resembles no other that I have ever seen. She re-imagined witches, ghosts, telepaths and half a dozen other concepts and placed them all onto the stage at one time to interact in a new and amazing way. All I can say without giving away more is that I cannot wait for the next book to come out.

Who's tapping?

  Excellent novel of five women who've been pursued through past lives by reincarnates bent on possessing their essences in order to become more powerful. Alishia has created a riveting story peopled with well developed, interesting characters, including a child revenant who inhabits an apartment in a defunct mortuary. I highly recommend this book to lovers of witches and the supernatural. This was Book I can hardly wait for Book II.
