Even Stranger. A Psychic Suspense Thriller (Strange Series Book 2) - The Strange Series 2
Formats: E-Book, Paperback
I was five when I found I could fly, sixteen when I killed a man. Both events were unsettling in their own way and, together with various other close calls, taught me I was not, nor did I want to be, hero material. Telepathy and my other odd abilities needed to be kept under wraps. In the future, normal was going to be the name of the game.
The fact that normal didn’t work that smoothly was probably due to an overdeveloped conscience, an inability to keep my nose out of other people’s business and because several people wanted me dead.
Why is it just when you think you’ve got all your ducks in a row, something or someone always turns up to blast them right out of the water?
"If you enjoy Stephen King and Dean Koontz you'll love this."

Deborah 5 out of 5 stars. Love this author Reviewed in the United States on 30 May 2021 Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase I can't get enough of her writing. It keeps me on the edge of my seat. It has just the right amount of everything to keep you turning pages and keeps it clean while doing it! Can't wait to read her next book!
Veronika Jordan 4 out of 5 starsA fabulous roller-coaster psi-fi ride Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 8 December 2019 Format: Kindle Edition Having first met Stella as a child in Relatively Strange we now encounter her once again as an adult in the early 70s in Even Stranger. She is trying hard not to stand out by keeping her powers hidden as much as possible. From book one, we know she can fly (though it’s more difficult when you’re bigger), move objects and use her mind to read other people’s. Following a series of unremarkable and often unsuccessful jobs, she decides to start her own service business. Whatever you need doing, Stella will do it – from typing and research to picking up children and house-sitting dogs (more of the latter later). It’s been six years since her debacle with a group of people with similar abilities, including the Peacock sisters, Gloria, Ed and Hamlet (a giant dog), plus Sam who they rescued from a dangerous government research facility looking into children with psi powers. Stella is aided in her new venture by her eccentric 83-year-old aunt Kitty and Brenda who is employed to help them. There is also a snooty Borzoi (whom she acquired from a recently deceased client). I said there would be another dog. In this book, Stella pits her wits and powers against three different foes and puts herself in danger as a result. Oh yes, and there’s a new romance!! And creepy dolls. It’s yet again a fabulous roller-coaster ride. Please don’t try to rationalise her powers – this is psi-fi and you need accept them from day one or you’ll be disappointed. I love Stella and her family and can’t wait for book three.
Ashby30 5 out of 5 stars. Definitely read this book Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 20 June 2016 Verified Purchase I loved the first book, Relatively Strange, but Even Stranger is even better. Stella is now a grown up and this book allows her personality to grow and develop. I actually kind of want to be her friend. The language is fab too. You can picture exactly what is going on. It is a sumptuous read. It looks like book three is on its way, and I can't wait for that. I want to hear more of Stella's adventures and see what happens to the Peacock gang.
