When Katie Gallagher accepted a job as nanny to the three Barrington children, she didn't know what she was getting into.
As if a spooky old house, a difficult employer, eccentric coworkers, and sad, angry charges weren't enough. There was the ghostly presence that spoke to her at night, begging for her help; the frequent, violent murders that seemed linked to Walter Barrington; and the feeling she had that this family needed her, that she was the only one that could help them.

#TabulaTuesday
Magic is real. Ghosts are real. Eva Booker deals with the consequences as she always does. Having turned away from her criminal life at long last, Eva is starting with a clean slate in the small California town of Santa Margarita Cortona, along with her twin brother and a surprise niece. It's a decent life, even though the mistakes of her past have her scanning for threats all the time. But when her boss's young son drowns under mysterious circumstances, paranormal forces threaten to tear her fragile peace apart. Again. It can't be a coincidence that the Cult of La Llorona has come to town. Desperate to uncover the truth and protect her niece from becoming next in a line of missing children, Eva grudgingly reaches out to the only people who can help: her old acquaintances, celebrity paranormal investigator couple Nathan and Jamie, who helped countless people with their supernatural troubles in their hit web series Witchcraft Wednesday Investigations. Problem is, Nathan and Jamie left their series behind - for cushy jobs, a life of wealth and fame, and possibly some stupid secret reason they stubbornly refuse to share. And Eva setting up an investigation with them is bound to reopen years-old wounds on all sides. Forced together by tragic circumstances, Eva, Nathan and Jamie face a suspicious cult, the wicked weeping spirit it worships, and the many past and present grievances threatening their search for a killer. But can their uneasy coalition withstand an investigation demanding life-or-death sacrifice? ~Book three in the Witchcraft Wednesday Investigations trilogy, sequel to #FreakshowFriday~Complete

When reclusive novelist Bianca Thorne retreats to her late grandmother's cabin deep in the snow-covered woods, she's seeking silence - a place to write, to forget, to rebuild. The locals warn her the forest isn't kind to outsiders, but Bianca isn't an outsider. The cabin has been in her family for generations. At first, the isolation feels almost peaceful. Until the nights stretch too long, and the trees start whispering her name. Pages she doesn't remember writing appear on her desk. The air tastes of metal. And the townsfolk who once seemed so kind - the shopkeeper, the sheriff, the woman who brings her supplies - start showing up uninvited, asking strange, quiet questions about her writing. As the blizzard closes in, Bianca realizes she's not alone out there - and that the people she trusted may not be people at all. Something ancient, bound to her bloodline and the woods themselves, is waiting for her to finish the story it began. Because the cabin doesn't just want her words. It wants her.
