Scout Randall thought killing the master vampire threatening those she loved would make everybody safe. She was wrong.
One dying utterance changed everything.
Yolanda Stratton haunts Hawthorne Hollow like an oily shadow of death. Gunner, the son she tried to kill, tries to pretend that he doesn’t care that she might have answers. He’s not fooling anybody. Graham, the husband who wishes he would’ve killed her twenty years before, is resigned to the games she will play. And Scout? She’s ready to face off with the face of abject evil, even if it comes at a cost.
Just who will be paying that price, however?
Yolanda won’t explain why the lone zombie that appeared behind the Rusty Cauldron boasted the same symbol she had branded into her shoulder years before. She won’t explain why the past is playing so heavily into the present. She definitely won’t explain why the new witch in town is after Scout…and isn’t afraid to play dirty to end her life.
Scout is a witch with a plan but outthinking an enemy she doesn’t understand could be the end of her.
There’s a whisper on the wind…and it speaks of death. Who will fall? (Amazon)

An open book…
Is not always what it seems.
As the aroma of coffee hangs thick in the air, fact and fiction collide in the sleepy town of Dunforth, New Hampshire. When a bestselling author is arrested during a book reading at the Roastery on 33rd, the case seems open-and-shut.
He immediately claims that he was the one who killed the woman that was found in the tall grass, clutching a bouquet of snapdragons as the White Mountains loomed all around.
But philosopher-turned-amateur-sleuth-and-barista, Paige Palmer, is skeptical. Years of study taught her to always question a conclusion that seems too forgone to be true… and a decade of reading the author’s novels alert her to the fact that something deeper has to be afoot.
Teaming up with her reluctant boss, and her boyfriend-in-waiting, Rohan, Paige is determined to discover what actually happened to the victim, and to find her killer.
With a paperback in one hand and a fresh brew in another, it seems a race against time to unravel an ending most bitter. (Amazon)
