"My name is Lizzie Bufford and I am far from normal. You see, I know ghosts and demons exist. How? Because I am the daughter of Sadie Sanders-Bufford--mediator to the dead extraordinaire. However, that isn't what makes me different. No, discovering I am a Shadow Seeker is what truly signifies my own fate in the supernatural world. In one breath, my entire life was flipped upside down. At the heart of small-town America, Nicholasville, KY houses southern charm and deep-rooted secrets. It is here that I am forced to move after my parents inherited my great aunt's farm.

The true enigma being the secrets plaguing Crow Haven-- and the family it protects. Just when I thought I could handle the insane world I lived in, everything changed. He happened. Ace Creed. He might be drool-worthy, but he is insufferable with his moody attitude and demanding ways. Thankfully, I have his sister, Maylee, on my side to help me deal with Ace. As it turns out, though, Ace's attitude is the least of my troubles. Now, demons are attacking innocent people in town and coming straight for me.
