“If you love Supernatural, X-files, and an FMC with cackle-worthy thoughts and gusto for miles, grab this book!”- Han Lee, reader review, ????? Beauty and the Beast meets Supernatural in the first book of this new urban fantasy detective series! Jericho James is in over her head. She’s a Private Investigator famed for debunking mythical creature sightings, and she expects her latest case in Stillbridge, Maine to be just another instance of “town who cried wolf.” But instead of finding a poorly judged animal in the Northeastern woods, Jericho discovers a family of reclusive scientists. Handsome scientists, no less, working on a cure for a mystery virus. Intrigued by the virus and utterly captivated by Benjamin—a man with cheekbones that must have been chiseled by God himself—Jericho finds she’s dying to learn more about the family and their work. And when she accidentally discovers the family’s secret, she might just get her wish. Follow Jericho James as she solves cryptid crimes, stops mythical misdeeds, and blocks otherworldly outrages. And maybe, if she has time, find love along the way. “[The Midnight Pack] blends a swift-moving, thrilling storyline, an intriguing new take on werewolves, and a he-falls-first romance.

Silent tears trickle down her cheeks as she curls inside the tiny cave-like space. She lies on her side, darkness all around her, rubbing her fingers over the little wooden doll he’d carved. He told her to be quiet, not to cry or scream. Not to be a baby. Her throat was raw, her eyes swollen shut. She wanted her mommy and daddy. She wanted to go home.
When Penny Matthews, a seven-year-old girl with blonde curls and a gap-toothed smile, goes missing in the Appalachian mountains, Detective Ellie Reeves is called straight to the scene. All that’s left behind is a pink friendship bracelet etched with “Penny”.
Thanks to her own childhood––which keeps her up at night, tossing and turning––Ellie knows all too well that the endless miles of dark forest and winding rivers are the perfect place for a criminal to hide, and a little girl doesn’t stand a chance. Racing against a brutal winter storm on the horizon, she searches desperately for Penny.
But when she discovers the remains of a small body, hidden by fallen leaves and wildflowers, the breath is knocked out of her. The old bones, and the carved wooden doll they’re buried with, have clearly been there for years. Ellie fears she’s up against a serial killer who has been stalking the mountains for decades, preying on children.
When Ellie spots tiny footprints near the unearthed grave, she’s certain they belong to Penny. As she begins to untangle the truth, she realizes the monster they’re looking for is connected to her own dark past. To save the little girl she needs to confront her own demons. Can she face her greatest fear before the twisted killer claims another helpless victim?
A totally gripping and utterly addictive new crime-thriller series for readers who love Lisa Regan, Kendra Elliot and Melinda Leigh. Prepare to stay up way past your bedtime––but be warned: you’ll be scared to turn the lights off after you’ve raced through the pages.

If you love unravelling a classic whodunnit, pull up an armchair, pour yourself a cup of tea, and dive into these five bestselling murder mysteries!Welcome to the sleepy English town of Oldminster: where history haunts the halls and secrets fester behind lace curtains.Nestled in the heart of rural Oldshire, the cathedral city of Oldminster is all ivy-covered colleges, creaking bookshops, and genteel façades. But don’t be fooled by the charm — beneath the cobbled streets and tidy hedgerows lies a world of intrigue. From ancient family estates like Renfield Hall to the atmospheric lanes of Abbot’s Grayling, this is a place where aristocratic pride clashes with modern ambition, and murder is never far from the tea tray. Because in Oldminster, everyone has something to hide — and someone is always watching.Perfect for fans of Midsomer Murders, M.C. Beaton, Faith Martin, Simon Brett, Dorothy L. Sayers and Agatha Christie.MEET YOUR DETECTIVESInspector Paul French has always been a stickler for order — until the arrival of his baby daughter late in his marriage to Moira turned his orderly world upside down. Always impeccably polite — he knows how to navigate aristocratic pretensions, local feuds, and the labyrinthine ties of old village families, all without ruffling too many feathers. French is the kind of man who drinks strong tea, keeps a dog-eared notebook, and believes very firmly that murder, no matter how genteel its setting, must be treated with absolute seriousness.Thirty-something Sergeant Glyn Edwards is weathered from years of police work, with a dry humour that’s a hit among Oldminster’s tight-lipped locals. He lives with his wife Sandra, but his home life is anything but blissful. With his marriage slowly derailing, all he has to fall back on is his work. Edwards isn’t one for grand theories, but he sees the small things: the nervy glance, the missing key, the crack in a polished alibi.
