Book Description
Genealogist and mother of three Torie O'Shea is out birding on the cliffs of the Mississippi River as part of New Kassell, Missouri's first ever bird-watching Olympics, when someone starts shooting at her and her partner. Disoriented and running for their lives, they stumble over an antique trunk and discover a badly beaten dead body stuffed inside. Soon after this disturbing event, musicologist Glen Morgan shows up at the Kendall House, Torie's new textile museum, claiming to be Torie's cousin and to have proof that Torie's grandfather secretly may have written a number of popular songs for the Morgan Family Players, who were famous country music singers. Being a genealogist and the head of the local historical society, Torie doesn't appreciate anyone shaking up a family tree that she has spent years putting together, but Glen's old recordings are more than she can resist. After a little digging in the library and some serious snooping into the shooting, Torie starts to uncover secrets about her family and the town that even she didn't know. Rett MacPherson's intricate plots and delightful small-town characters with long family histories hit all of the right notes in The Blood Ballad, the newest installment in her terrific Torie O'Shea series.

Book Description
Bounty hunter Gracie Boswell knows three things: the vampires want your blood, the fae want your flesh…and worst of all, the demons want your soul. Traveling through the outlaw-infested west is never an easy prospect, and it’s even harder when Gracie realizes she might be half in love with one of the men in her posse. It’s harder still when a demon starts slaughtering entire towns, and nobody else has the guts—or the lack of self-preservation—necessary to go after the demon behind the violence. As Gracie, Boone, and Carson scour the territory for the soulless menace, the local folk show them only distrust and prejudice. Turns out in this region, anyone who wields magic is suspect, and Gracie’s posse has to be just as careful of the demon as they do of the intolerant locals. Because who’s going to save those ungrateful cowherds if Gracie’s dangling from the end of a hangman’s noose? Blood Ballad is the third thrilling installment in USA Today bestselling author Liza Street’s western gothic series.

Book Description
Gracie Boswell's got a charmed bullet, a brand new posse, and a pack of outlaw vampires to kill. The tiny town of Penance has a big vampire problem—and charmslinger Gracie Boswell aims to be the solution. A whole nest of vampires makes for a mighty fine bounty, though, and Gracie is far from the only charmslinger angling for the job. When a charming local layabout and an old competitor elbow their way into Gracie's posse, she's forced to at least pretend to play nice...but trust is scarce in the west, and smart bounty hunters always sleep with one eye open. But Gracie doesn't have much time to watch her fellow bounty hunters—Penance's vampire nest is bigger and more organized than anyone suspected, and there's at least one traitor in the town's midst. Soon, Gracie finds herself in the unenviable position of leaning on her posse...and at least one of them isn't what he claims to be. USA Today best-selling author Liza Street continues to thrill with a brand new alternate history, western gothic series of outlaw vampires, sinister fae, magic, and good old-fashioned treachery.
