If it’s not demon birds and spiders it’s something else haunting Hawthorne Hollow these days. Scout Randall, Michigan’s favorite pixie apex, is ready for a break. Then the unthinkable happens. It starts small during a job in the woods. The attacking force reminds Scout of something she can’t quite put her finger on. When she does identify where she knows the creatures from, she’s thrown. She saw them in a movie. She manages to push the idea from her mind. Well, mostly. Movies can’t come to life after all. Then it happens again. And again. A strange hotel shows up on the highway with an odd man who has a very overbearing mother running it. The peeping Tom ghost who hangs close to her house sees a hockey mask-wearing psycho wandering around the woods. Mama Moon is invited—more like forced—to eat dinner with a very strange family from Texas. Tableaus are popping up at every turn. They’re very similar to things Scout has seen in the movies, but also different. She’s amused. Nothing about the scenario frightens her. In fact, she’s a little excited. Then things start getting more and more dangerous. Someone very big and very powerful has come to Hawthorne Hollow. This individual has cast a spell to delight Scout. Is it a friend? Is it a foe? Will Scout manage to overcome her movie heroes, or were they created to distract her? There’s a big fight on the horizon. First, Scout has to get through a horror maze of epic proportions. She’s trapped in a literal nightmare. She just might not make it out alive. Was that the plan all along?
It’s Halloween in Whisper Cove. To Harper Harlow-Monroe that means candy, parties, and costumes to celebrate her favorite holiday of the year. That’s what she’s expecting anyway. What she gets is the exact opposite. When her husband Detective Jared Monroe calls to tell her there’s a ghost on County Line Bridge throwing items at passing cars and causing accidents, Harper is hoping for a quick takedown but that’s not what she gets. The ghost isn’t just hanging out on the bridge because she’s bored. No, Whisper Cove’s former librarian is protecting a body. Nobody knows how the teenager got there. Even his parents are confused. All anybody knows is that the librarian died in her sleep in the past…and yet she’s protecting the boy’s body in the present. As Harper digs deep she starts uncovering some troubling stories about the boy’s friends and what might have happened to the librarian. How does it all fit together, though? Harper won’t give up until she knows the truth. What if the truth is more than anybody can bear?
