Everyone has a few ghosts of their own. Some just have more than others.
It's what Georgia Taylor tells herself when she arrives in the rural town of Suffolk, Minnesota, with a single suitcase, a secret, and a determination to start a new life.
It's what Marion Halverson lives as a reality as she becomes increasingly aware of the ghosts that haunt her city - and are mysteriously disappearing from it.
With demons natural and supernatural closing in on Suffolk, Marion and Georgia become irretrievably entangled despite their best efforts to have as little to do with each other as possible.

The Price of Innocence
"Some ghosts don't haunt to scare you. They haunt to remind you what you lost." Thandi's innocence echoed in every memory she shared with her sister.

Now caught between the sister she loves and the man she's come to care for, Thandi must make an impossible choice - one that will teach her that even innocence comes with a price.

Sam's Weird: Homecoming
Sam's always known she was different. Her grandmother called it her gift. She called it her weird. She knew when bad things were going to happen before they did. She felt things that weren't there. She was visited by dead relatives in her dreams. But the creepiest part of it all was when she could see the ghosts. She spent the better part of her life blocking out the weird, and as a side effect, blocking off her feelings and ability to be close to people. Now she finds herself unable to keep her weird at bay. Her decision to move back home to help the people of the community she grew up in will have her facing more than just the things that go bump in the night. She will also have to face her own ghosts and her feelings toward the two unexpected men in her life. TW found in preface/author's note.

But she and Cassidy have history, and Cassidy isn't going to let her easily forget that. For all their surface differences, Cassidy and Julia have more in common than they first realized-both are reluctant to hand over their pasts to be judged and studied.
