Summary
When Eric Jansen takes a seat behind his drums, every girl in the place takes notice - not that he's surprised. He's had decades to practice. Still, there's that other thing....
He's an alien. Offworlder. Take me to your leader, fall from the sky, space-invading, phoning home, UFO jockey. A swipe of the tattoo on his arm will reveal his true form, which locals call Mothman, a winged creature formed of ashen gray skin and glowing red eyes. Eric is one of the last of his dwindling, offworld species.
So when the recently deceased of Point Pleasant, West Virginia, start walking and talking, the Men in Black mark Eric as suspect number one. It'll be up to Eric and his inner circle to solve the mystery before the black suits lock him up and throw away the key.
A fun listen, Wrong Side of the Grave is a fast-action teen sci-fi mystery with a paranormal twist.
Meet the Characters
ERIC JANSEN aka Mothman
Rock God . . . in his own mind.
When you first meet Eric Jansen, you will notice his lean body, blond hair just long enough to lift when the fan is pointed at him on stage, and the pair of ever-present drumsticks in the back pocket of his ripped jeans. When he speaks, you’ll quickly realize that he never wants to grow up, has no shortage of self-confidence, plays drums in a garage band, has deep loyalty for his best friend, and never wants anything to change. He’s seems like a pretty average sixteen-year-old boy, but if you think he’s sixteen, you would be wrong. A swipe of the tattoo (that’s not actually a tattoo) on his arm will reveal his true nature, and his true nature is legendary. Known as the Mothman of Point Pleasant, Eric is really a centuries old alien with giant wings and glowing red eyes in the perfect human disguise as he stalks the only prey that fills the void inside, the vampires.
Favorites: orange soda, old vampires (they have more flavor), 80s rock bands, concert t-shirts
BRIDGET NORTH
Girl next door mystery chaser
One could speculate that book blogging Bridget North gets her curiosity naturally from her journalist father. She loves books and occasionally rants about them. She even has her own blog, though its name constantly changes. She’s crushing on her best friend, not that he would ever notice anything beyond her big, innocent eyes. Bridget is slight in stature at five feet, 115 pounds, but not easily intimidated. When danger threatens, she is the first to the scene, dragging her best friend Eric Jansen along.
Favorites: paranormal books, big tote bags, planning/organizing
AGENT CAREY WARNER
Frat boy turned men in black agent
This is Agent Carey Warner’s last chance to redeem himself. The clean-cut, dimpled frat boy has been kicked out of college after college for partying too much until his wealthy family pulled strings to get him hired on by the Agency. The required black suit looks good on him. His assignment: handler to the resident alien that no one else wants. Cocky Eric Jansen bucks authority at every turn, but can he and the retired frat boy find common ground?
Favorites: flirting, his secret flask of whiskey

Summary
Where will you be when all hail breaks loose?
When a mysterious new player wields a deadly storm to force the men in black into lockdown, teens Eric and Bridget are suddenly separated. With Bridget on the inside and Eric on the outside, the two race to beat the clock and open the doors before the suits make the ultimate sacrifice to prevent the base from falling into the wrong hands.
Get ready for a quirky thrill ride full of spunky book blogger rants, sneaky twists, liberally-used nicknames, smoldering smirks from Mothman, and even a hippy vampire. Hold on kiddos, it's Mothman verses the Weather Machine!
The Mothman Mysteries are set in the same universe with the same characters, but the books are stand-alone mysteries and can be heard in any order. Considered a clean teen series, suitable for pre-teens. A humorous young adult paranormal mystery for fans of Doctor Who and The Dresden Files.
