The Salt Roses

Port of Lost Souls: Book 4

Advance Reader Copy

Blurb

The power still calls to her… and the salt roses are in bloom.

Between witchcraft, demon studies and high school gossip, Lola is finally settling into island life and dares to believe she might have a future here.

Yet bound by a spell she’s never confessed and a past she can’t outrun, Lola finds new threats surrounding her. In the sea caves that honeycomb the island, signs of a demon black market surface, while a haunting song from the deep threatens to drag her under. Now Lola’s visions return—sharper, darker, more violent than ever.

As enemies circle and gather strength, Lola must choose what she’s willing to sacrifice to protect those she loves. Her heart. Her secrets. Even herself.

Because the magic that saved her once may not be enough to save her again.

Author

I write horror, fantasy and paranormal books. I have previously published a YA vampire fantasy, The Well of Souls, which is the first of the Port of Lost Souls series. Several of my feminist horror short stories have been published, and one was awarded first place in the Geneva Writers Literary Prize.

I have a deep love of cheesy teen horror books from the ’90s, so much so that my sister and I read every single one of R. L. Stine’s Fear Street novels and recapped them all. It was a work of love. We blogged our recaps at Shadyside Snark, check it out if you’re feeling nostalgic, or are really into ’90s horror.
