When Grace left town seeking a new start after her mother’s murder, becoming a Demon Innkeeper wasn’t exactly what she had in mind. With newspapers accusing her of killing her mother, and her PTSD too unpredictable to go out in public, Grace’s job options in the new city are limited. So when Japanese demons possessing objects around the new house come to her requesting she become their innkeeper, like her grandmother before her, she’s certain she is 1) desperate and 2) insane. But all four boys promise to protect the house—and more importantly, her and her father—from a man with a fedora looking to avenge the man she killed. The promise of safety outweighs her disbelief, and she accepts the supernatural position. Protecting the objects that keep them alive—a chandelier, a pair of oven mitts, a Japanese instrument, and least likely of all, a ragged little wishing well—proves difficult when her own heart is still in tatters. To keep her new rag tag group of friends, and herself, alive, Grace must face the truth of what happened the night her mother was murdered. As she does, she may even find a way to repair the dilapidated oven mitts hidden in the kitchen drawers, as well as the secretive, abused demon boy attached to it. That is, if the man with the fedora doesn’t kill her first. ***Updates Every Friday

--Watty winner-- In Victorian London, monster hunting isn't just a job, it's a way of life. Freddie Westman, a reporter for a paranormal magazine, is one of the best in the business, but now it's personal. His childhood friend, Jim Penderry, has disappeared, and the signs point to sinister forces from beyond the grave. If Westman wants to save Jim, he'll have to face his worst fear. No, not fighting a demon with only a cake to hand. Something far more daunting. Sceptical Sophie Penderry doesn't solve mysteries or go on adventures. She's more at home in the library with her nose in The Botanist's Guide to Plants and Fungi. But she puts the science books away to help Westman find her missing brother, whether he likes it or not. Which he really doesn't. Westman is a loner, reluctant to lead anyone into danger. According to him, the supernatural is not just the stuff of folklore and children's nightmares, and a world of black magic awaits them. Now Westman must decide if he should push Sophie away for her own safety, or take a leap of faith and accept an offer of help and friendship. Either way, time is running out to find Jim, and worse still, they may not make it back in time for tea and biscuits. ~Featured story (Sep 2014 - Aug 2017) ~Selected by R.L.
