Elana McDougall, The Eldritch of Hallows

Sasha’s perfect life is destroyed when her wealthy fiancé Edward reveals his violent abusive side. Her harrowing, headlong escape leads her to Hallows, a mysterious hamlet in North Carolina when her car inexplicably breaks down. Hiding under a false identity, she takes the night shift at a local diner to pay for repairs.

Despite her need to remain hidden, she is soon drawn into the life of Hallows. Sheriff Jake Wulfrick takes a personal interest in the beautiful newcomer. The sexy lawman finds her intriguing and desirable and Sasha must fight her own attraction to him. Peculiar things start to happen around her. Her blind landlady, Aunt Amelia, is oddly unaffected by her handicap and seems very much in charge. People appear in two places at once. Inanimate objects move on their own. Villagers watch her with suspicion and hostility. Soon she realizes Hallows has its own secrets and Sheriff Sexy is much more than he appears.

The young woman’s arrival threatens to expose the supernatural nature of Hallows. And Sasha herself is about to uncover her parents’ lies about her own magical identity. When evil follows her to Hallows, will she be able to use her newfound powers to save herself, Hallows and the man she has come to love?

Blood Moon Magic is the third in a series about Hallows, the secretive Eldritch sanctuary where magical beings fight to remain hidden from the outside world. 

Bostonian Huck Radcliffe is enjoying his new life in Hallows, North Carolina. He’s got a job he loves as the local paper’s staff photographer, and a growing circle of friends. Thanks to one, he has a great apartment, with a beautiful if elusive landlady.

It’s not all perfect. The locals regard him with suspicion and outright hostility. His landlady refuses to consider any relationship with him. Strange lapses in memory and disturbing nightmares plague him, thanks to a car crash he can’t remember having. 

He doesn’t know his life is a lie. Discovering the truth could be the death of him.

The Eldritch are furious that a human found their hamlet. Inexplicably unable to expel him, they hide their paranormal abilities from him and magically give him new memories to explain away his presence.

When rogue elements of Hallows decide to remove the human irritant permanently, earth mage Gwen offers him an apartment in her mansion, and unbeknownst to him, her powerful magical protection.

Yet, she has her own secrets. Six years ago, she did the unthinkable and while away from the village, fell in love with a human. When disaster struck, she used her gifts to make him forget she ever existed. She returned to Hallows, a disgrace and a pariah, comforted by the knowledge that her lies to her clan kept him safe.

Yet somehow, Huck is here. With him living next door, she must maintain both the community’s false narrative and her own. She must pretend not to know him, to not still love him. 

And pray that when he eventually leaves, her heart can survive. 

But the multiple spells affecting his memory are weakening. He is starting to remember his past life —and her. When he learns what she did to him, can he forgive her? And when her clan learns she chose him over her own kind, will she be able to save them both?

As she balances on this emotional knife edge, an unknown danger emerges. Two teen killers have also penetrated Hallows’ borders. When they threaten to unleash an ancient menace from Hallows’ past, Gwen must risk her life to defend her people and the man she cannot love.
