"As the residents of Miracle Springs, North Carolina, select their costumes, plan parties, and get excited for a night of tricks or treats, Nora joins in on the festivities by hosting medium memoirist Lara Luz at the bookstore. Charismatic and compelling, Lara mesmerizes the audience with her life story. Struck by a bolt of lightning as a child, she was pronounced dead only to be resurrected with the ability to connect with those on the other side.
Lara performs a reading for a select group of bookstore patrons when the encroaching storm knocks out the power. In the sudden darkness, howling cold winds intensify, and Lara clutches her heart, collapsing dead without warning. But Nora doesn't believe she died of natural causes. Not one member of the psychic's reading group—which includes the town's widower pharmacist, an urgent care nurse, a mystery author, and even truculent Deputy Hollowell—were admirers of Lara.
Nora confirms this when she stumbles upon Lara's journal in the aftermath of her death. For within its leathery bound pages are the medium and her clients' deepest and darkest secrets, written in code. Now, Nora and the Secret, Book, and Scone Society must sift through the suspects and their motives to uncover which one of them is a killer before he or she is tempted to strike again . . ."
"The world ended ten years ago.
Vampires showed up, took over, and turned the whole planet into their personal all-you-can-drink buffet. The president? Bloodsucker. The government? Bloodsuckers. My social life? Absolutely nonexistent.
But hey, at least I had one thing going for me―slayer training. My twin sister, Ripley, and I were about to go pro, officially joining the ranks of the last people on earth who actually do something about the whole 'undead overlords' situation.
And then X had to show up. The vampire boogeyman. And instead of killing Ripley, like any decent monster would, he turned her. Now she's technically a vamp, but something tells me my sister is still in there.
What can I do? Break every rule. Lie to my friends. Strike a deal with the most dangerous vampire on the planet: X will protect Ripley from everyone else who wants her dead―like, really dead―until I can snag the cure for vampirism. The catch? Risking my own head to help him free his good-for-nothing BFF from the very slayers who taught me everything.
If I want Ripley back, I'm going to have to play nice with the thing that ruined my life. And the worst part?
I think he's enjoying this."

When Xav goes missing after one of his missions, Lindsay thrusts aside all doubts and focuses on one thing—finding Xav.
Xav has had the best times of his life in Lindsay’s presence, though she’s impetuous and wild, which makes him crazy with worry. He’s not sure the two of them can be serious about anything, especially something as important as their relationship.
When danger from one of Xav’s old enemies, as well as Shifters who insist Lindsay choose a mate, threatens to tear them apart, Xav and Lindsay must trust their instincts, grabbing onto the bond that makes them stronger together."
"Sometimes love can dropkick you in the footballs. And other times, it can win the game.
When wild child and free spirit Kelsie Dannon returns from her semester abroad after a whirlwind romance, she brings home more than souvenirs. Her heart is freshly broken after being ghosted by the guy she fell for in Paris. Now back at CFU, Kelsie is determined to forget all about Hayes McIntrye with copious amounts of parties and boys who won't break her heart.
After a car accident that killed his friend and injured his brother, Hayes is a mess. He thought Paris would put enough distance between him and his problems, but it only created more. Transferring to CFU and joining the football team was his way to absolve his guilt and to live out someone else's dreams: his brother's.
But there's no playbook for love or grief.
Things go from bad to worse when Hayes and Kelsie end up at the same school, the same academic program, and even the same house with the same set of friends.
Will Kelsie be able to forgive Hayes and allow him to prove himself as a good guy? Or will she kick him out of her life and say au revoir to a second chance at love?

"Witch, humbug.
Forty and fabulous is my motto. It's been twenty years since I escaped Whispering Willows and my humble beginnings. Now I live in LA, working my dream job as head witch at a growing corporation, getting paid the big bucks to cast spells some might find morally questionable.
Life is perfect.
Until the night my boyfriend surprises me with a 'romantic' getaway in the middle of nowhere, and I find a shovel and rope in his trunk. Romance is truly dead.
Worse, I somehow cast a curse upon myself. Now some stalker ghosts want to force me into my past, present, and future. I have to return home, the only place I can get the answers I need.
All while dealing with a mother who hasn't forgiven me for leaving and a childhood best friend who's aged into a sexy werewolf.
Forget head witch, I'm going to be a dead witch unless I find a way to stop these ghosts from taking my soul, and any chance of redemption I may have along with it."
"Death brought her home. Only the living can make her stay.
Ember Burns was determined to overcome her grief and establish a new veterinary practice, but her first client lands her in the middle of a murder mystery. When the evidence points to a horse as the cause of death, she vows to protect him.
Except horses don't talk and neither do the dead, so Ember has to rely on her intelligence and instinct to get to the truth. A truth buried under layers of small-town secrets big enough to get her killed.
Battling a reluctant Sheriff and pushy Mayor, Ember struggles to get her business off the ground while digging deeper. Why would anyone want to kill the local farrier, and who was plotting to stop her?
As the town gears up for its centennial celebration, Ember is led from local ranches to the surrounding Cascade Mountains in her quest. Time is running out for the horse and Ember as a maze of intersecting lies come together, which threatens her life and will allow the true culprit to get away with murder."
"When my college besties both ditch me for other living arrangements, I have no other choice but to accept an offer to share a room with Killian 'Killer' Palmer.
Sharing an attic space with the junior tight end for the Clearview Falls University football team is far from the ideal situation.
We are opposites in every way possible. I'm a city girl and computer programmer with a penchant for cleaning. He's an outgoing farm boy who couldn't keep his room clean if his life depended on it.
The more time we spend together, though, I begin to see Killian in a new light. He's charming, easy-going, and unfailingly trustworthy. One night in a drunken babble, I accidentally share a secret with him: I still have my V-card.
I'm not sure what's more surprising; the offer he makes to help rid me of that problem or the fact I actually want to take him up on his offer. The one big issue with sleeping with my roommate is that the lines soon become blurry and before I know it, I'm falling for him.
He's begun to win over my heart, something I never thought possible. But will a relationship with my roommate be the right end goal for us? Or will it only end our friendship?

"One football player. Two simple rules. Three fake dates. Zero chance of falling for the other.
Emmett Hudson is just trying to play college football at Clearview Falls University while keeping all the balls from spinning his life apart. He thought he had everything under control until the coach threatened to bench him if he didn't get his grades up with the help of a tutor.
Lucy Parker isn't into football players, except the one she's crushed on since high school. But he's the star quarterback and doesn't even know she exists.
The answer to this problem comes when a deal is struck with her new tutoring assignment, aka: Emmett. He promises a way to get his teammate's attention if Lucy commits to being his fake girlfriend for three dates.
Three. Seems easy enough. Right? But even with safeguards in place, their fake relationship soon begins to feel more real than either Lucy or Emmett expects.
And with their hearts on the line, it could turn this winning strategy into a losing proposition.
Contains mature themes."
"When an elderly Miracle Springs resident, Lucille Wynter, arranges for Nora to deliver an order of books to her creepy, crumbling Southern Gothic mansion, Nora doesn't expect to be invited in.

As she digs, Nora can't shake the feeling that hoarding didn't cause Lucille's fall.
Nora does find something valuable deep inside Wynter House—a revelation about Lucille's terrible past . . . and a secret worth a small fortune. But there's someone who'd do anything to keep the truth buried amid the moldering tomes. The odds against them are stacked as high as the books, but it's up to Nora and her friends to track down a murderer with a literary lean before Wynter House's lost library claims another victim."
