She is the wife of Thomas Moore, and together the pair live, what appears to be, a quiet, comfortable life; that is until Thomas is found dead, single gunshot wound to the temple. The burden of searching for the truth about Thomas' murder falls upon Adeline's shoulders after local law enforcement prove to be unavailing. She hires an elusive private investigator, an intimidating figure with a shrouded past to find the answers she so desperately seeks. In the process, however, Adeline is forced to reconcile that nothing about her old life was at all what it seemed. As the investigation makes headway, Adeline is thrust into the midst of something mysterious and otherworldly. She is stalked in her dreams by a man with no face, hungry for her and bold enough to take her as his own, but who, or what is this animalistic apparition? Does it exist outside of her dreams? Waking visions begin to haunt Adeline once more with an ominous warning she cannot decipher until it is already too late. In Adeline's ruthless search for the truth, she will unwittingly uncover far more than she bargained for.

Lacey Waits has gotten too comfortable appealing to the good natures of the spirits she can communicate with. See, these spirits, they breathe salt on the little sills and doorways to keep the evil out. But when she moves back to Iowa for the spring and a little Jane Doe asks for her help in bringing justice to her gruesome murder - and when Lacey subsequently denies her request - the restless spirits see no reason to stick around, allowing demons and ghouls with lesser-than-holy intentions to wreak havoc. Caught in constant danger, it's up to Lacey to get on the case of Jane Doe's death, rescue a childhood friend from a string of missing persons cases, and regain the good graces of the dead before she joins them at the hand of evil entities and water that just keeps on rising. *Previously featured on the @mystery profile* *Featured on @Paranormal's "Life After Death" reading list* *Featured on @Ghost's "Bustling Ghosts" reading list* *Featured on @crime's "Policing the Paranormal" reading list* *cover by cosettetapes*
