About the Book

Supernatural meets The Sixth Sense in this sinister, sapphic, paranormal fantasy about a monster hunter looking for revenge, a medium who doesn't remember magic exists, and the necromancer who wants them both dead.

Book Synopsis

Dani Black-smart mouthed, pie loving, monster hunter-wants revenge.

A year ago the rogue Necromancer, Spectre, killed her partner. She's been looking for a way to kill him-and keep him dead-ever since. So when rumors surface of a weapon capable of killing anything, she sets off for Dawson Maryland. The only problem? Dawson Maryland might be home to more than just the ever enchanting daughter of a prominent magical family, Emilie Lockgrove. It might also hold clues to Dani's past.

Dani plans to kill Spectre, or die trying.

Emilie Lockgrove-book lover, powerless, nomal-wants answers.

Ten years ago, she survived the fire that killed her mother. Now Emilie has returned to Dawson expecting to confront the trauma of her past, and find peace. What she finds instead? A power she never knew she had and enough family secrets to drown in.

Emilie just wants to reclaim the life stolen from her after the fire.

To survive, each must confront her past, and maybe find hope for the future.
