The Elizabeth Charles Chronicles: Like Oil on Water

"?Just breathe?. Monica said.
If only Liz could. But three years after the mysterious and tragic
death of her father, supernatural events begin to unfold that force her
to question her past, those around her, and even her own sanity.


Elizabeth Charles was a fairly popular high school student who
led an ordinary life. That is, until she met the mysterious Patrick
Dalton, her new algebra tutor. Within days her father is found
dead and her world is turned upside down. Three years pass and
the death remains unsolved, until a chilling encounter with two
sinister childlike beings forces Elizabeth to revisit the past and seek
the answer to the question - Who, or what, is Patrick Dalton?"
