Book Description
One last thing, if you do fall in love with him, please go slowly. Be careful. Trust your gut and know not all things are easy. Damaged things can become beautiful if they're placed in the right hands. -Love, GranA small town where pickup trucks rule, the farmer's market is bigger than the grocery store, and just about everyone goes to church on Sunday is the last place Henley Warren expects to find herself three months after her grandmother's death. But Gran left a list of things she needed Henley to do after she died, and fulfilling those wishes means spending a summer in the same place her mom fled from when she was only seventeen years old. With each task that is ticked off the list, events are set in motion that uncover secrets surrounding Henley's life. Although Henley may have arrived on the shores of Alabama's Gulf Coast feeling alone and lost in a world without her Gran, things soon change. The small town holds more than she realized- including a broody, gorgeous, potentially dangerous guy who is always showing up when she needs him the most. Henley fears her heart isn't ready to trust someone so unpredictable but he makes her feel things deeper than she thought possible. So, when Henley discovers the twisted, dark world he is living in, will it be too late to save her heart? Or has her heart been beyond saving from the moment he stepped out of his truck on that very first day?

A heartwarming tale of hope, fate, and folk magic unfolds when a young woman travels to a sleepy southern town in the Appalachian Mountains to bury her best friend. "A feast for the senses. Willa Reece has written a magical, romantic tale about our essential connections to nature and to each other." --Sarah Addison Allen, New York Times bestselling author At the age of eleven, Mel Smith's life found its purpose when she met Sarah Ross. Ten years later, Sarah's sudden death threatens to break her. To fulfill a final promise to her best friend, Mel travels to an idyllic small town nestled in the shadows of the Appalachian Mountains.

Book Description
Monsters, Mystery, and Murder Plague The Small Town Folks In This Collection of Four Frightening and Strange Tales. The Bad Trip After picking up her drug addicted sister from the police station, Monica must brave the winter storm in order to make it back home to her husband and kids. But when mysterious orbs rain down from the sky, infesting the snowy backroads with alien cockroaches five feet long, the sisters must work together if they want to survive the bad trip. The Weekenders After a night of drinking, Tom and his childhood pals break into the lake house of one of the wealthy families that intrude upon Crystal Point in the summer. The strange object they steal ends up being more dangerous than they ever could have imagined. Tick Tock When I got back from the store, my hands were full as I pushed my way through the front door. The shades blocked out the daylight for Lucas's nap, so as I entered, I blinked, unable to see as my eyes adjusted. A hoarse, dry voice came from somewhere in the room. "Tick Tock goes the clock 'Til the morning when she walks. Flying in the dark of night, Salt her legs so she can't bite." I moved to the counter to put the bags down, and I could see Nan crouched down by Lucas's travel crib. Nan had her hand on the baby's belly and whispered, "Tick, Tock," as she began the rhyme again. The Vesper Bells From the tintinnabulation to the ominous toll, the use of bells can be traced back to the middle ages, but even before Christianity appeared, the bells were regarded as a musical instrument of the gods. Bells were much less common in contemporary times like the 1980s, which also happened to be Rosie Marks's formative years. But it wasn't the church bells that haunted Rosie Marks deep into her mid-twenties; it was the vague recollection of something terrible that happened to her shortly after her eleventh birthday. Something that came from the forest.
