House of Ink & Oaths

by Autumn Jones Lake

About this book

Emery Corbin is a professional skeptic who has built her reputation on debunking local legends and haunted hotspots. When she arrives in the atmospheric town of Crowsbridge Hollow to film her latest project, she expects nothing more than dusty history and tourist traps. Instead, she finds herself entangled with Declan Sterling, a brooding, ink-covered recluse whose skin tells stories that defy logic.

This gripping urban fantasy blends gothic romance with a dash of Sleepy Hollow charm. Declan is the quintessential grumpy hero, burdened by a centuries-old family curse that ripples across his living tattoos. As Emery’s cynical worldview begins to shatter, she discovers that the town’s ancient secrets are far more dangerous than any internet hoax. Their undeniable chemistry ignites a journey where desire acts as a gateway to the supernatural.

At its heart, this story is a beautiful exploration of found-family and the sacrifices we make for love. As Emery pulls back the veil on the Sterling legacy, she risks being permanently marked by the very darkness she once tried to disprove. Perfect for those who crave a spooky-season read with deep emotional stakes and a touch of magic, this is an irresistible paranormal romance you will not want to put down.

Traveling

April 25, 2026

I don't like horror movies or scary tales. I love Halloween for costumes and fantasy. But I have never liked thriller stories. Until now. I want to travel to Crowsbridge. I want to taste the fudge and wander the cemetery. Thank you for creating a world I would love to visit. )

Another great book

Wow! I'm not a fan of paranormal reads, but this was so good! It's not over the top paranormal which I appreciate. Emery looking for truth over exploitation is breathtaking. This is so well written and I expected nothing less from Autumn Jones Lake. Well done! )
