The Darkness Deep Below
In small-town Eureka Springs, surrounded by the vast Ozark Mountains, it’s said witches created the Festival, the two weeks every summer when the natural springs heal anyone who drinks from them. Although there are deadly consequences. When the Festival ends, two people are always found drowned in the Blue Spring.
Francie Brewer-Hill knows this story is a lie. Her family coven benefits from the Festival like everyone else, using the water to make their spells more powerful. Not that Francie remembers the feeling. The coven stripped her power after she did a forbidden spell as a child, and has been shunned since.
Now, on the cusp of the Festival, Francie is invited to take her place in the coven. If she can prove she can use her magic responsibly, she’s in. Francie is determined to impress her family, but when she discovers Elias Blackwell’s dead body in the woods she does something she knows the coven won’t forgive: she brings him back to life with the water.
The coven can never know what Francie’s done, but the water knows her secrets. As the Festival nears its end, someone will die…and it might be her. Francie must stop the magic, even if that means teaming up with Elias, who’s willing to gut the coven to stop more deaths. But as Francie starts digging for the truth—about the Festival, about what happened to Elias, and even about her family—she begins to question if some secrets are best left drowned.
In the Company of Death
Seventeen-year-old Everly Finch swore she’d never work with the dead, but when her brother Adam goes missing her parents change her plans. Everly will inherit the family funeral home--a future she can’t refuse once she discovers Finch Funeral Home isn’t just for humans. It secretly feeds vampires the blood of the dead, keeping the mortal population safe in her small Ozarks town.
Determined not to give up on her dreams, Everly knows if she can find Adam she can get out of this mess. Theo Starling, a vampire connected to her family since the Civil War, agrees to help her. While searching the vampire underworld, they find simmering tensions between vampires and hunters threatening to boil over into a Hunt. When residents start dying one by one, drained of blood, old fears of a bloody past put everyone at risk.
Everly is determined not to let anything get in her way of finding Adam, but as her search leads her to uncovering truths about her family, her town, and power dynamics that go back generations she’s forced to confront where she fits in a home she’s never wanted, and whether or not she’s willing to defend it with her life...or death.
