The Sound of Cedar

After more than two years, Verity should give up. Give up the search, stop asking questions, and believe the idea that her notorious gypsy mom had fled, again. After all, she'd taught her own daughter everything she knows about avoiding her past. But why was this horrible feeling she had in her gut telling her otherwise? And why had the Justice tarot card appeared?
For her entire life, behind closed doors in the Reading Room of their plantation boarding house, her mother, Evelyn "Eve" Costello, practiced mystical 'arts' passed down from one Romani mother to another. From talking to the dead, reading fortunes or mixing herbs and ointments for ailments---in a small town like Harrowing, people paid just about anything to expose secrets, talk to lost ones or try to change their own fates.
Subjected to an unimaginable and invisible pull to a woman he'd just barely met, Cole can't seem to shake the feeling that there's something dark and perverse surrounding Verity. Under those ghost-like eyes, something stirred. Something hidden and unforgiving. Is love strong enough to keep her close or will the truth drive her to disappear just like her mother had.
Mysterious and heartrending, The Sound of Cedar is a daughter's story of discovering truth, learning to love -and uncovering a sinister evil hidden amongst the blood-soaked roses that seem to have too much uncanny significance.
