It all started with a leaky roof. Or did it? Something bad is happening in the small picturesque town of Oak Shade, Florida. The Brennier family has just moved into their new home, and they are excited about the prospect of a new life. A new beginning. But things don't always go as planned. Almost immediately, their beautiful home starts to fall into disrepair. And there's that strange thing happening in the attic... Their call for help to a local repair company quickly becomes a different cry for help. And their lives begin to crumble as the situation gets stranger and more disruptive. It soon becomes clear that all is not as it seems, and a simple renovation could mean the deconstruction of their lives.

Together in one volume, the first two books of The Bloodmane Chronicles. THE AWAKENING Everything she knows... Renda Bloodmane is a quiet librarian, who lives a quiet life, in a small quiet town in Florida. Her days consist of going to work (which she loves) and watching old Hollywood movies with her dog Jane (which she also loves). Her life is just fine, if a tad on the dull side. So, when her best friend from college, Bobbie Trillo, invites her to visit her family in Georgia, Renda decides a vacation is in order. Bobbie has moved back in with her mother and brother after her parents' divorce. Things aren't going well for her mother, and Bobbie needs Renda's friendship and support. Everything she believes... Renda soon discovers that there is a lot more going on in the Trillo household than meets the eye. The moment she sets foot in the Trillo home, Renda starts seeing ghosts everywhere she turns. But one very unique ghost stands out from the rest. A sinfully attractive man named Cole, who died more than one hundred years ago, begins to haunt Renda's every thought. He warns her there is evil in the house and it's attacking Bobbie's mother. Only Renda can stop the demon from taking over and destroying the entire family. Will never be the same... Renda can't believe she's seeing dead people. She can't believe she's attracted to a dead man. And most of all, she can't believe that she's the chosen one who has to fight a centuries-old powerful demon. But there is more to Renda Bloodmane than even she realizes. Her quiet, ordered life is about to change and there's nothing she can do to stop it. CHILD OF THE DEADShe is The Chosen. Renda Bloodmane is not your average 29-year-old librarian. She sees dead people, battles demons, and her boyfriend is a ghost. When a young girl is haunted by a powerful evil spirit, Renda is the only one who can save her. She must use everything she's got to protect the child. But there's more at stake in this dark battle, and this could be Renda's last chance to discover her true identity. She'll do whatever she can to save the Child of the Dead.
