Short description

Lilly just wanted to fit in with everyone else but her family history had always excluded her. It looked like things were finally changing after graduation but there were things in the shadows that would leave this young woman confused and scared. Things that could cost her everything she held dear. Things that might even cost her her life.

Extended description

Lilly tries to blend in and be normal but just doesn't have any luck. She is constantly in the shadow of gossip about her family which her hometown just won't allow to rest. Old women tell stories about her grandmother and the things that she could do. Her father even had to leave town to find the space he needed to grow into the man that he became.

Things look to have taken a turn for the better when the guy of her dreams asks her out but Lilly is sadly mistaken. Not only is her date ruined but a supernatural force has taken an interest in her and she will have to fight just to save herself. A part time job at Dairy Queen and an honors diploma just don't prepare you for a future like this. What in the world is the average high school graduate supposed to do when faced by something that goes bump in the night?

Review by: Jeremiah on Nov. 29, 2011 :
I picked up "The First Door" based on a recommendation. Admittedly, the genre and theme isn't something I tend to read. All of that said though, the story was not boring. The author's characters are believable and the plot flows very well. The story ends with a surprise and with an opportunity. Overall, this novella is worth the price and worth reading.

Gripping is the way I would describe this story. When I first started this story; I admit it was very late at night and I was only going to read a little bit of it, and then pick the rest up later. As soon as I started I could not put it down. Lilly brings you into her world which takes you on exciting twists and turns. I would definitely recommend picking this up for a good read.
