The twists and turns will keep your spine nicely chilled until the very end. Following the death of her mother 11-year-old Tamicka Moon and her father move from Canada to Eastlake in England, where they both struggle to come to terms with their grief. Jack Moon becomes engrossed in writing about Munford House, the estate where they are staying, while Tamicka is left to explore the house that no-one in Eastlake, save the housekeeper, Mrs Hughes, will go near. Why is everyone so afraid of the old house, and who is the spirit that offers to make everything better for Tamicka - friend or something else? When Tamicka befriends a local girl, Penny, the spirit warns her she can't be trusted, and that seems to be true when Penny's friends play a cruel trick on her; but is the spirit telling her the whole truth? And what is the dark secret of Munford House?

In a dimly lit market place, surrounded by hagglers and merchants, thieves and magicians sat a lone and beautiful girl. They call her Ophelia (although that is not her real name) and they say she can see the future. It's a lie, of course - a trick - but they do not need to know, for the truth is much crueler than the illusion. She is a Deathwitch. Ophelia lives a life of dark spells and black magic. She is a finder of lost things, a musician to the dead and a teller of tall tales. And yet she, herself, is a part of a much bigger story, a story of sleeping witches in glass coffins, of bottled souls and undead bandits. She is a Deathwitch and she is going to save the world.

Eighty years after the Witch War resulted in victory over magic, people have long forgotten the heroes of the war: the witch hunters. Living on the fringes of society once again, the hunters continue to fulfill their thankless destined duty. But grudges still run deep for the defeated, and the final score has not been tallied. Benrick Bayhill rediscovers his missing parents' old hunting clan after a sheltered childhood in his uncle's manor. But duty calls him back, as does his childhood companion, Vinamir Balcren. Together with his new hunter family, Benrick learns the art of witch hunting while uncovering dusty family secrets and closely-kept hunter secrets alike, all while fighting side-by-side with a young half-witch. A hunter's life on the edge requires careful application of trust, but truth is hard to come by with witches on the rise again. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ I hope you all enjoy the story! It has taken me 9 years to convince myself to finally write it, and in that time I've really fallen in love with my hunters. If you like it, don't forget to show it a little lovin'! ⋆

The Goblin's Trilogy #1 After being raised by her three criminal brothers, Matilda is used to stealing what she wants. However, when she picks the wrong person's pocket, she, unfortunately, wins the attentions of the goblin king, or well, prince actually. In one fell swoop, her life shifts and a thief is made a queen. The queen of a hoard of nasty, ugly, vile creatures with a taste for chaos. Surprisingly, she finds that this arrangement suits her just fine. But even the goblin queen's crown might not be enough to slate Matilda's greed as she sets her sights on overthrowing Queen Mab and becoming ruler over the entire Unseelie Court. ---- Author's note: I'm shooting to update every Thursday or Friday, depending on my work schedule. Happy reading and beware of goblins. Beautiful cover is courtesy of @thisrosewillneverdie
