About the book
Grace needs quiet. After her mother’s death, she flees to her mom’s hometown in Florida, planning to spend the summer transcribing tapes for the local historical society. The work is dull, the town stifling, but at least grief can be contained.
Then she hears Jake Underwood’s voice on a cassette from 1992. When he answers back, Grace realizes they can talk across time through the tapes.
What begins as connection soon deepens into something stranger. Hermitage is full of silences, tragedies no one mentions, and names no one says aloud. A hurricane decades ago claimed Jake’s uncle, yet the town insists on forgetting.
As Grace unravels the mystery, she learns some wounds are buried, not healed. And Jake’s silence hides the darkest secret of all.

About the book
Sophia DeWinter has spent her life shackled to her uncle, the Collector, by a cruel blood bond. The only escape lies in Killmarth College, an elite academy for magic wielders that promises freedom. But entry comes at a cost: survival in the Ordeals, brutal trials designed to weed out the weak and leave only the strongest standing.
Sophia’s illusionist skills falter under pressure, and she survives the first challenge only by allying with Alden Locke, a botanist as powerful as he is infuriating. Together they must navigate trials riddled with sabotage, treachery, and murder.
Every failed spell, every misplaced trust, brings Sophia closer to death. To claim her freedom, she must outlast the Ordeals—if the killer among the competitors doesn’t claim her first.

About the book
Christmas morning should bring peace. Instead, Dr. Kay Scarpetta, Virginia’s chief medical examiner, is called to a fresh horror. The Phantom Slasher has struck again.

Now, two brutalized bodies on Mercy Island point to connections Scarpetta cannot ignore, one victim tied to her own past, the other to a case already fraying at the edges.
Scarpetta knows she is running out of time. And if she cannot outwit the Phantom Slasher, she may soon become his final masterpiece.
