Moriah Hanlon is a new, biracial girl in Pachuck, Oklahoma trying to come to terms with her twin sister's death while also adjusting to her mom's psychotic episodes. 

When a foreign exchange student goes missing, Moriah discovers unsettling things about Pachuck's dark past. Things like kidnappings, sacrifices, and a weird obsession with hogs. After a secret club leaves letters addressed to her, claiming to "watch her", she fears she'll meet the same fate as the missing foreign exchange student. Now, Moriah has 24 hours to figure out who's behind the kidnappings, or she might be next.

Inspired by a writing prompt from The Open Novella Contest, Like Lambs Led gives us a glimpse into an Oklahoma town that's willing to kill for their secrets...

"With one phone call, my life did two things at the exact same moment ... ended and began." Seventeen year old Ashe just buried both of her parents. Forced by circumstance, she leaves her childhood home to move in with an aunt she doesn't know very well ... only to find that the small southern town of Mannix, South Carolina is not like others, that it holds secrets. Ashe has no idea that on her first night she will open a door that will change her life forever.
