About this book

The dead deserve justice…

When psychic medium Joni Smith encounters a pesky ghost in an antique store, she triggers attention from the wrong people. She should have thought twice before jumping the fence past the no trespassing signs, and she shouldn’t have dug up the ghost’s bones to retrieve a locket either, but Joni wants lost souls to find peace. Sometimes taking risks are worth damning the consequences.

So do the living…

Newbie detective and paranormal skeptic, Zeke Gregson isn’t quite sure what to make of Joni digging up a grave in the backwoods of his neighbor’s property. She won’t hand over whatever she stole from the grave, and she won’t answer his questions. He has no choice but to bring her in for questioning because someone is killing women in Pendleton County. If Joni isn’t the murderer, she might be the key that leads him to who is.

A secret society…

As Zeke and Joni comb through evidence, they soon realize they are in over their heads. Before another woman dies, they must lean on each other’s skills in order to get justice.

A secret desire...

Trust doesn’t come easy for either of them, but as they fight for their lives, racing against the clock to stop the killer, they may discover something neither realized they were searching for…love.

Dead Reckoning is a stand-alone paranormal romance and the first book in the Grave Intentions series. Discussion of abuse is part of this novel and may be triggering for some readers. There are sex scenes in this book and is intended for adult audiences only.

My new favorite author!

November 21, 2021

What an easy, saucey and heart pounding read. This author has met her calling. She writes so well and it flows. The story pulls you through page by page. You won’t want to put it down and you’ll be wanting more once you finish. Thank goodness she’s written more! This is an exciting read with a few tough parts (just because of the trauma/triggers) and some really juicy sex scenes. The story has super fun twists and turns, super exciting plots and subplots with such smooth writing. This would be...

Awesome Debut Novel

November 22, 2020

This was an outstanding debut novel! I don't normally read ghost stories but I do love me a good paranormal romance. The story was very original, well-crafted and held my attention throughout. In fact, I sped through several parts more quickly because I was so eager to read how they ended! The characters were very well-defined, charming and relatable. Well, most were anyway-lol! The hero really caught my heart and I was so happy when he won the heart of the heroine.. They were pretty sweet...

Dead Reckoning a thriller surprise

March 1, 2022

I couldn't put it down and really think the missing chapter should be added back as a prologue.The author introduces a core of unique personalities that form a family of choice. This story also deals with an ugly topic of abuse and family values. Into that darkness the author shines the light of hope. Can love & faith win the day? Couldn't put it down until I knew. )

Loved this book!

This is a fabulous debut novel. If you like edge of your seat stories, with paranormal activity, romance and some humour thrown in, you will love this book. It deals with some dark subject matter but it’s done very well. The characters are strong and you will love them.... and the ending... wow... let’s just say there are some twists and turns and you will be surprised. Can’t wait for more from this series! )
