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
The Vampire and The Ghost | ✔︎
[BOOK ONE OF THE VAMPIRE AND THE GHOST SERIES] She's dead, he's undead. An unusual duo make their way through the modern world, and its modern challenges. Annalise Redwood had spent too much time alone, floating in a centuries old house. The very same house she was murdered in 5 years before. She'd watched people leave, come in, investigate and even squat in this house. Yet none of them stayed long. And more importantly none of them saw her. It was hell, and she swore she was cursed. But this all changes, on the 5th anniversary of her death when a seemingly normal young man walks in. And he sees her. Eugene Cubert was old. Too old. He was done with life, had lived, breathed (well not really) and seen too much for one soul to bare. Quite frankly all he wanted to do was find a nice house to live in and spend the rest of the century comfortably locked away from all of the supernatural and natural. He's visiting his 5th house that day, when he hears it. A woman, screaming to be seen. And then he sees her. And nothings quite the same after that. ---------------------------------------------------- #No.2 in paranormal 3/7/2021 #No.1 in ghost 9/7/2021 #No.8 in murder 2/8/2021 Updates weekly!
