Overview

SOME MONSTERS NEVER DIE Over a hundred years after the death of Magnus Blackwell, Altmover Manor sits abandoned. Lexie Arden and her fiancé, Will Bennet, are determined to rescue the neglected Mount Desert Island landmark. They want to make Altmover Manor their home. But Magnus has other plans. A spirit bound to his former residence, Magnus finds himself inexplicably drawn to the young woman. She has a supernatural gift; a gift Magnus wants to exploit. As Lexie and Will settle in, secrets from Magnus's past begin to surface. Compelled to learn all she can about the former owner, Lexie becomes immersed in a world of voodoo, curses, and the whereabouts of a mysterious dragon cane. Magnus's crimes won't be so easily forgotten, and what Lexie unearths is going to change the future … for everyone.Awards Finalist — 2018 Readers' Favorite — Fiction — Paranormal Finalist — 2017 Best Book Awards — Horror
