In Molly Harper’s witty new paranormal romance, a rare-book expert is delivering a package to Half Moon Hollow when her plane goes down, and a sexy vampire comes to her rescue. He’s clearly got ulterior motives, but does he want to date her…or devour her? Delivering a rare book to a valued customer is definitely part of mild-mannered archivist Anna Whitfield’s job description. You know what isn’t? Protecting her precious cargo from mid-flight theft by the very pilot who is flying her to Half-Moon Hollow…while trying to appear as unappetizing as possible to the only other passenger, a vampire. Undead bookstore owner Jane Jameson could be waiting a very long time for her book. Possibly forever.

Great, now she’s stranded with a priceless tome and a rakish vampire whose bedtime is fast approaching. Why does everyone want this book so badly, anyway? Anna just wants to get it to Jane before Finn decides to turn her into dinner—or sweep her off her feet. Okay, the second option is really tempting. But they’re not out of the woods yet… Views: 28

The dropping temperatures herald the coming of the holidays in northern Illinois. There are trees to be trimmed and packages to be wrapped. Mia is taking it easy while the PEEPs struggle with an infestation of poltergeists. Meanwhile, Big Bear Lake braces for the approach of the first winter storm. Two feet of snow is expected. Murphy has cut enough wood for four winters so there is little worry about the approaching storm. But the storm that is approaching is one no one can prepare for. It has little to do with snowflakes, but the fast accumulation of them isn't helping. This holiday the “unexpected visitor” won’t be leaving the Martin household with presents under the tree, but taking something back with him, something or someone very valuable. Join Mia, Murphy and PEEPs as they face undefeatable odds in “The Siege,” the 13th novel of the “Haunted Series.” Views: 27
