The Haunting of The House on Hill Road


Cat Knight - 2019
    So she did. But she didn’t know about the other occupant that never left, not until it was much too late. Piper Williams is barely keeping her larder stocked, and is way behind on the rent when for the price of the back taxes she can claim a house that has been in her family for generations past. Seeing it as a solution to her financial woes and an opportunity to be left alone to work in peace  Piper empties what is left of her bank account and moves in. Yet old places need work and everything is on the fritz. But ‘old’ doesn’t account for the face that sometimes appears in the window. And 'old' doesn’t account for that stain that keeps returning on the rug. And ‘old’ doesn’t account for the old armoire that holds an ancient cloak that is only sometimes dry. When events turn hellishly evil and Piper finds herself in the battle of her life, can she find a way to put the house to rest or, like those that her passed before her, will she be destroyed and bound to the house forever?

Rockwell Agency: A Boxset


Dee Bridgnorth - 2019
    To the residents, however, there is far more lurking below the surface than just the occasional swamp critter. Led by Barrett Rockwell, the dragon shifters of Rockwell Agency make their home in the historic city and they’re keen to protect the place and people they love from dark unseen forces that sometimes like to step out of line. PART I When English botanist Angela Winston moves to Louisiana to complete her studies, she expects jet lag. She doesn’t expect to start literally losing time—a whole lot of it, in big chunks. Recently she’s been ‘waking up’ from apparently blacking out, only to be told by worried friends about all the embarrassing or dangerous things she did. Desperate, Angela contacts Rockwell Agency, known in Baton Rouge as being a premiere investigative group. All she wants is for someone to follow her around for a weekend, observe her actions, and stop her if she somehow becomes destructive. She doesn’t expect her shadow to be quite so incredibly handsome, but so long as Ryan Minton is competent, she’ll ignore the flare of attraction and just pray he can help her out of her mysterious predicament. PART II Wes Moretti is hearing things. With increasing frequency, he is somehow suddenly privy to the thoughts of those around him—friends, coworkers, women lusting after him … it’s worrisome, to say the least, wondering if he’s somehow losing his mind. Then he overhears his best friend’s thoughts and learns a secret that destroys that friendship and also confirms Wes’ newfound ability isn’t in his imagination. He can actually hear what other people are thinking. Needing to regain control of his life—and his mind—he heads for Rockwell Agency, known in Baton Rouge as a top detective group. He expects the detectives to help him. He doesn’t expect to walk into the agency and be bowled over, but then again, Jordan Grey has a tendency to do that to people, Wes quickly learns. PART III Lydia Winn has a secret. Usually an honest person, her pursuit of a particular goal has caused her to bend a few of her usual rules. Intent on finally getting answers to questions she’s had her whole life, she visits Rockwell Agency, where Quentin Pencer is assigned to her case. She knows Quentin has a secret too … that’s why Lydia visits Rockwell Agency in the first place. Immediately, though, things start to go wrong as Lydia is deeply attracted to Quentin and feels terrible when her lies blow up in her face, alienating him. Even worse than the fact that she’s betrayed him is the fact that suddenly Lydia has a real problem on her hands. When someone she deeply loves goes missing, will she be able to persuade Quentin and his coworkers to trust her enough to help her with a real problem? PART IV Liam O’Malley is a ladies’ man—no two ways about it. Devastatingly handsome, and a high-powered lawyer to boot, he’s more than slightly popular with the female crowd but has no interest in a long-term romantic relationship. As kind as he is good-looking, Liam makes sure he’s on the same page with any woman he spends time with, including Trinity Calhoun. He and Trinity had a good time for a while, or so he thought, and they both agreed things between them would never progress beyond a physical relationship. So when Trinity’s grandmother shows up and not only accuses Liam of stealing from Trinity but then puts a curse on him, Liam is blindsided. Initially, he tries to ignore the old woman’s warnings, but when everything starts going wrong in his life, he’s forced to start to consider the fact that something supernatural may be happening and seeks out the h

I no longer scoff at people who claim to see ghosts. I never found out who or what was haunting that house. But I wasn't going to stay and find out.” “The House off Greenville,” “Red Balloon,” “Ghost in the Bedroom,” and “Who’s been playing with my kids?” are real stories about events and paranormal activity that took place in the Dallas house where the author lived in as a single mom for over five years. Her children are grown now, but to this day they do not like talking about the strange activity and events that took place in that house. If you like reading scary stories, paranormal mysteries, and unexplained phenomenon, then “True Ghost Stories” will leave you with chills. So snuggle up, get under the covers and get ready for some serious goose bumps!
