Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although Lara Fairmont directs passion and focus into her London business, it goes bust with spectacular finality. Despondent, almost bankrupt, she nabs an astonishingly well-paid job as a carer for an elderly grande dame of Lobster Cove. What could be easier? Almost anything, for a start. A heady mix of misunderstanding, folklore, suspicion, and the hand of fate unbalances Lara from the moment she steps into Lucas Dalton’s desolate mansion on the shore. How many unanswered questions can there be? For a start, is her boss, Lucas – deep-sea diver, oil-rig maintenance man, and closet architect – unhinged? Is he way out of control, or merely lost in a dark place? Where’s his wife? Why so little light, and so much shade? Bewitched, Lara falls in love with the beauty of Maine, and the inexplicably irresistible Lucas. But, is he the devoted son, widower, and father he claims to be, or someone entirely different?

They've landed to do battle with the Japanese soldiers on the island, but in short order, they begin to realize that the forbidding battleground holds an ancient secret a hundred times more terrifying than any enemy army---especially when they start finding the bodies. Flash-forward to July 2008. In the slums---and the skyscrapers---of Boston, a new kind of depraved serial killer is stalking human prey and terrifying the city. The bodies have been found posed and mutilated in bizarre ways that the two police officers in charge of the case have never seen before---and never want to see again. Are the two scenarios connected? Detectives Jefferson and Brogan have no idea that to solve the biggest case of their careers, their investigation must take them around the world and through time and history---from a mysterious salvaged submarine with a shocking secret, to an inhumane prison where the inmates are even more scared than usual of "the Pit," and finally back to the beginning: the sinister island in the South Seas where something inhuman has been biding its time.

Book excerpt: Book your ticket to Magic Island, where the potions are brewed fresh daily, the beaches are perfect for creature-watching, and the fangs and fur are on full display. Long-buried secrets about the family she’s never known have come to light, leaving novice witch Wren Winters reeling. Trying to keep herself from having a nervous breakdown is no easy task, especially when she also has to contend with a duct-taped wand, a boyfriend with more than one skeleton in his closet, a close friend who’s chosen the strangest of bedfellows... and a powerful wizard who refuses to admit to the truth. When an innocent gnome is thrown in jail for a murder he didn’t commit, Wren is grateful for the distraction, and immediately throws herself head-first into the investigation. Between attending a self-defense class for small magical creatures, going on a nighttime broomstick tour of the island, and visiting a gloomy forest where rogue werewolves roam, she has plenty to keep her occupied. But as she closes in on the killer, Wren is forced to face an uncomfortable truth. Sometimes things—and people—are not what they appear to be.
