The Farmhouse
Every woman who has lived on this farm has died. Emily just moved in.
When Emily Hauk's mother dies, it's time for her and her husband, Josh, to finally leave San Francisco. A farm in rural Nebraska is everything they want for a fresh start: clear skies, low costs, and distance from the grief back home.
They should have asked why the farm was for sale.
Three years ago, a teenage girl went missing from the farm. Soon after, the girl's mother mysteriously died. The deeper Emily digs, the more stories she finds of women with a connection to her new home who've met their own dark ends.
The farmhouse was meant to be Emily's fresh start, but with each passing day, her sanctuary slips further away. The barn seems to move throughout her property, as though chasing her. Her mother's favorite music drifts across the corn. She swears she saw blood in one of the farmhand's trucks. And the screams that wake her are not foxes, no matter how many times her husband says otherwise.
Despite Josh's skepticism, Emily feels the darkness that has seeped into the soil of her farm. And if she wants to claim this place as her own, she'll have to find the truth before whatever watches from the cornfield takes her too.

Holding on to Chaos - Blue Moon 5
From the New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of Things We Never Got Over
"I want to be upfront with you. No surprises, no secrets. I want you, Eva. And I think you might be it for me."
Romance novelist Eva Merrill is a hot mess running from her past. She doesn't mind telling a fib or two to protect her secrets and her family. It's too bad that she moved to the nosiest small town in the world with Sheriff Sexy?the tall, built, human lie detector. He's showing way too much interest in her and treating every conversation like it's an interrogation.
Maybe that's because she accidentally showed him her boobs in the middle of downtown Blue Moon. Or maybe it's because he thinks she's about to commit a crime. It's definitely not that he's attracted to her. That only happens in her novels.
Donovan Cardona loves his nice, quiet hometown, and he's got some pretty strong feelings when it comes to a certain klutzy redhead too. But his gut says she's hiding something. Just when he starts to peel back those layers to get to the naked truth, the entire town loses its collective mind?and inhibitions.
Can he save the girl from her past and the town from itself?
Doll Parts
The Virgin Suicides meets I Have Some Questions For You in a dark
academia suspense novel following one woman as she begins to uncover the truth of the death of her estranged best friend and the Sylvia Plath-adoring sad girls they attended college with decades ago - all while holding a secret that will slowly unravel her new, suburban dream life.
***
Some stories refuse to stay buried.
For best friends Nikki and Sadie, college was supposed to be a fresh start, a way to blast Courtney Love from car speakers and leave their youth behind. But along with sadness-obsessed girls and intrusive professors, a dark story plagues their small all-women's school: the Sylvia Club, a campus legend surrounding the deaths of multiple Sylvia Plath-adoring students, all written off as suicides. Aspiring writer Nikki finds herself drawn to the tragic tales, so much so that dead girls begin to haunt her dark imagination. As she digs deeper, Nikki soon suspects there's much more to the story - a suspicion that will lead to a tragedy of its own, one that will tear her and Sadie apart.
It's been nearly twenty years since Sadie last saw her estranged friend. Now, Nikki is dead, and when Sadie ends up pregnant by Nikki's grieving husband not long after the funeral, she finds herself stepping into her ex-best friend's seemingly perfect life. But the longer Sadie lives in Nikki's eerily preserved home, the more she sees her appear and soon, she's convinced that Nikki is sending her clues from beyond the grave. Because it seems Nikki never stopped looking for answers about what happened to the girls of the Sylvia Club, and she may have been its latest victim.
Told in a dual timeline, Doll Parts is a provocative and irresistible debut suspense novel , at once an exploration of the dark chasms that break apart friendships, an ode to the aching beauty of girlhood, and a sharp portrayal of grief that can physically haunt you.

He was the other half of my soul – the mirror to my every dark desire. My destruction, my redemption, my salvation: my Heathcliff.
Cathy Earnshaw’s got the devil inside her – or at least that’s what the small, cultish community she’s spent her whole life trapped inside would say. She can sense death coming, and every loss sends her spiralling into a violent, uncontrollable episode of grief, wailing like a banshee across the swampy forests of the Lowcountry. With a secret as dark as hers, there’s no hope of relief, or escape, or finding someone with a chance of understanding.
Until she meets him.
Heathcliff’s got his own trauma, and a secret just as dangerous as Cathy’s. Stolen as a child, raised by necromancers, he’s the most forbidden sin she could ever imagine…and the most desperately tempting. Violent in his passions, tender in his affection, he feels like the other half of her soul, but even as they claw desperately to be together, the world seems just as determined to keep them apart.
Because it turns out their little Southern community was built long ago on a graveyard of lies…and every cult needs its sacrificial lamb.

The last thing she wants to do is return to Highmark this summer – even if she does need "closure”. As soon as she's back, though, she hears the whispers: someone killed Sara Ellis.
And if she's not careful, they'll figure out it's all her fault.
