I came to study the trees—now the trees are studying me.

I’m a wildlife biologist, not a detective.

What was supposed to be a forest field study outside a sleepy little town has turned into a full-blown supernatural mystery. It’s more than disease impacting the old growth forest, but none of the data makes sense.

Animals are acting weird. My samples vanish. My trail cameras fail…

And I’d swear something is watching me.

The townsfolk are nice enough, but tight-lipped. No one will talk about the howling in the woods at night, or the hikers that fled town, or the haunted man with a storm in his eyes who leads what’s left of the town’s protectors.

As the creep factor climbs and bodies surface, I’m tangled in the thorny vines of myth, murder, and moss-covered monsters. I’d like to think I’ve got the scientific savvy to figure this out, but to solve this…I’ll have to survive it first.

For fans of fast-paced urban fantasy, dry humor, creepy cryptids, and badass women—grab Root of All Evil now and get lost in the woods with Dani Chastain.

When the fae beckon, few resist. Even fewer return.

As a veil witch, I’m used to taking out the supernatural trash. Everything from poltergeists to vampires, you name it and I’ve dealt with it. So opening a paranormal cleanup business just seemed to make sense. If I’m already dealing with the pests, why not get paid?

But when I accidentally breach the faerie realm to encounter a girl recently reported missing, start seeing the ghost of a witch whose disappearance has never been solved, and discover a Book of Shadows that opens only for me, I can't just go back to business as usual. Especially when I also gain the interest of a sexy and mysterious mage. Timing is everything, and even as my desire grows, a little voice inside keeps reminding me to step carefully. I know all too well that, in the supernatural world, opening doors means facing consequences. In this case, those consequences might just mean never being heard from again.

From reviewers:

“Loved the characters and the plot twists that kept my heart racing!”

“I absolutely love this book. I cannot wait until the second one comes out. I couldn't put it down.”

"This book had it all, from magic to nail biting anticipation, from action to funny situations to unexpected turn of events ... It kept me reading even though at the same time I didn't want the book to end!”

“I love Cassie! She's snarky, funny, impetuous, even reckless at times. I wouldn't do what she dares!”

“Urban Fantasy at its best!”

Do you ever wonder why spirits take the actions they do? What if there was a system of rules they had to follow?

Clive Logan is a serial killer; or, to be more accurate, Clive Logan was a serial killer. Caught after a record-breaking streak of murders, he was executed by lethal injection by the state, while thousands of his victims' grieving family members watched.

That should’ve been the end of his emotionless and unfeeling existence – but it wasn’t.

Sent to Hell – where he enjoyed himself entirely too much – he was singled out to become a Spirit Core, an invisible spiritual entity that eventually ended up back on Earth. At first unfamiliar to him, his new incarnation slowly revealed itself to have its own set of rules, following something not unlike the video games he used to program back when he was alive. At its root, he was tasked with invoking fear upon his new victims – but there was just one problem.

Having never felt any emotions before, he had no idea what that meant.

Contains LitRPG elements such as level progression and statistics.
