The Montgomery Estate
High school freshman Claire is obsessed with the Montgomery Estate and the vicious torturing and killing of a prestigious family that happened within its walls nearly 100 years ago. When the last surviving member of the Montgomery family passes away, Claire decides to explore the house and uncover the truth behind the decades-old mystery. After a negative and humiliating interaction with Claire’s idols, a ghost-hunting group by the name of The Specters, Claire and her best friend Lizzie infiltrate the estate with a plan to prank the ghost hunters. But the abandoned house may not be completely cleared of the Montgomery family. And they may not like intruders.

Clairvoyant
Seventeen-year-old Delilah Dufort is plagued with a curse. She sees things—visions of the past. People she does not know. People who suffer. People who die. After a stay at a mental health facility, Delilah vows to return to a life of normalcy. Her investigative days are behind her. She cannot keep giving herself to the dead. That is, until Dylan Walker enters her life. Dylan is both handsome and charming—and the only suspect in his girlfriend Brit’s disappearance. When Delilah’s visions bleed into Dylan’s world, she is thrust into a mystery with missing girls, undiscovered bodies, and unreported victims. Each new vision reveals a brutal murder. As the body count rises, Delilah must race to find the culprit before it is too late. With the help of her brothers—and the elusive Dylan—can Delilah find Brit before she becomes the next victim?

"I sat down with this book expecting to just read a chapter or two before falling asleep, that is not what happened. There are so many unique twists and turns in this story that I completely lost track of time and read it in one sitting - not a common occurrence for one such as myself..."
