About this book

For Liv, writing stories was always a creative escape, a way to channel the vivid whispers that haunted her mind. But when she dares to rewrite the fate of a fictional villain, she accidentally invites a terrifying, tangible darkness into her world. The ghost of a killer has stepped off the page, and he is not interested in a happy ending. Now, the line between fiction and reality has shattered, leaving Liv at the mercy of restless spirits who demand their tales be told.

Enter Gage, a mysterious protector meant to watch from the shadows, now forced to collide with Liv’s dangerous reality. As they peel back the layers of a family legacy built on curses and secrets, they find themselves entangled in a forbidden love that defies the rules of both the living and the dead. Their connection is as lethal as it is magnetic, pulling them deeper into a paranormal mystery where the stakes are life and death.

If you crave a dark romance that sends a genuine chill down your spine, this gripping paranormal tale is your next obsession. Will Liv and Gage rewrite their destiny before the echoes of the dead consume them?

Just because you can’t see it doesn’t mean it can’t hurt you or the people you love. Liv’s relationship with her grandmother was one of my favorite parts of this tale.

The Voices Made Me Do It

June 5, 2018

If you've ever wondered where authors get their story ideas, here's the answer: the voices tell me to do it.

But...she doesn't know that until one particularly nasty spirit decides he doesn't like the way she's writing the story. Cue the scary music RIGHT NOW. Seriously. It's a good thing she has a best friend, a romance writing grandmother, and a hot boyfriend (GAGE) who...

A Cozy with Spirits!

November 19, 2017

Many authors opine that they have characters in their heads who are begging the writer to tell their stories. Bonatch takes this idea a step further by suggesting if the author doesn’t get the story right, spirits of the dead will harm the writer. Yikes! Liv, the author in the story, writes crime novels. Gage is her ‘watcher’ trying to protect her from malevolent spirits. The two are thrown together (a sweet romance) to manage family curses as well as improper endings to stories. Fun,...
