Situated in Beth-Hill, where imagination meets reality, is The Rose Emporium, owned by elderly and not-a-little-odd Rose Duncan. The large Victorian house smackdab in the middle of nowhere is a cross between a pawn shop and an antique store that caters to supernatural creatures needing to barter. Rose’s twenty-something niece, Abby Duncan, discovers that the world isn’t made up of just run-of-the-mill, ordinary humans but an entire spectrum of unusual beings. With her preconceptions about what’s normal and what’s not turned upside-down, Abby is in for a whole lot of startling truths, mysteries–about herself and the people and places around her–and danger.

Abby Duncan’s elderly Aunt Rose has always been a bit odd. And now she’s off on a mysterious trip, leaving Abby behind to run the Rose Emporium, an unusual sort of antique shop. Such an extraordinary store would have been a perfect place for Seth and the others, her friends from the Renaissance Festival, to take a break from traveling between Faires. But when tragedy strikes and Abby and the others discover the true nature of the Rose Emporium, they’ll have to travel into Faerie itself before their tightknit group is whole again.

Abby doesn’t know much about her family history, but she’s about to find out the truth…whether she likes it or not.

A Beth-Hill Novel: Abby Duncan Series, Book 3: Hunter

Winston Matthew Delaney, a former vampire hunter, has been sentenced to seven years labor at Madame Mim’s Teahouse. In his late thirties, Winston has spent most of his life strongly believing that vampires have no place in the world and his purpose was to eliminate them. He’d been training his own apprentice Josh to believe the same when he was captured. Josh continues to seek out his master and rescue him. But, shocking himself most of all, Winston discovers a truth that changes everything he’s ever believed and based his principles on: Most vampires have no desire to kill and proliferate; instead, they only want to live their lives in peace.

Arabella Bauer believes her brother died in a car accident. In part, that’s true. But he was a no-good drunk and actually caused the accident that took the life of one of the men in the other car involved. Only Colin survived. Despite being badly injured himself, Colin killed Arabella’s brother in retaliation.

Arabella is contacted by Josh, who attempts to win her over into believing vampires are real. He gives her information that leads her to The Rose Emporium…and Colin, a vampire…
