The Tales and Tellings of Hallows' Grove (MM)
Henry Everwood has lived in Hallows' Grove his entire life amongst superstitious townspeople. Despite his patient denial of the rumours circulating his practices, Henry is indeed the witch people fear him to be, though he hardly uses his magic for anything more than his cooking and housecleaning. Come October, Henry forbids the usually wandering ghosts from entering his home. One, however, makes it through his warding without knowing how or why he did it. Edward appears in Henry's house with no memory of his living life, his family, or his last name. Henry prepares to send him back to the howlite path, a trail of magic stones that leads ghosts to their afterlife, when a terrible memory resurfaces-Edward had been murdered. Not only that, but Henry and Edward quickly discover that Edward is alive only when he's touching Henry. With unanswered questions from both ends, Henry accepts to help Edward look into his murder, why the connection between them is so strong, and reveal whether or not the new blonde woman in town and her brother know more about magic than they're letting on. But what happens when Henry and Edward start to fall for each other? What happens when Henry's long-kept family secret is uncovered? It is, after all, as Mr. Cross, the cranky old town librarian, had warned-terrible things happen when you involve an Everwood.Complete

Hallowick-Hearts (Landoscar)
(Book 1 in the Hallowick Trilogy) When Oscar leaves Melbourne with his father, trading the vast city for a quiet Scottish town called Hallowick, he expects small streets, colder weather, and a slower pace of life. What he doesn't expect is Lando. Lando lives in Hallowell Manor, a sprawling bed and breakfast run by his mother, Cisca, who also owns the town's curious little shop, Eternal Lights. Warm, witty, and endlessly curious, Lando pulls Oscar into the rhythm of Hallowick, the festivals, the changing seasons, the traditions that shape the town year after year. From Halloween lanterns to Christmas lights, from New Year's fireworks to summer fairs, the town itself seems to guide them closer. But Hallowick is not only quaint streets and winter markets. Beneath its charm runs something older, something stranger. Lando and his mother carry a family gift. An inherited magic that whispers warnings, reveals unseen truths, and senses danger before it strikes. It's a blessing that feels at times like a burden, and one that Lando finds, strangely, a little easier to bear when Oscar is near. Over the course of a year, Oscar and Lando's friendship begins to shift, deepening into something neither of them can ignore. From hesitant laughter to late-night confessions, from quiet companionship to the spark of something undeniable, their story is one of trust, belonging, and the courage to let love take root. Set against the backdrop of a town alive with festivals and secrets, Hallowick is a tender, poetic romance woven with moments of magic. A story of first love and found family, of community and quiet devotion. A reminder that sometimes the most extraordinary magic is simply finding the one person who makes you feel at home.Complete
