About this book

What happens when you take a little Practical Magic, a dash of Poltergeist, shake it up, and drop that new brew in the Crescent City?

At forty-five, Sonny finally escaped the shadow of 'the Beast.' She has spent the last four years rebuilding her life in the light—but healing isn’t paying the bills.

When a high-stakes paranormal competition in New Orleans offers a tempting cash prize, Sonny knows it’s time to take back her power. She’s heading to the Crescent City to prove she hasn’t lost her edge, only to discover the ghosts of the abandoned Yellow Fever hospital have been waiting for her arrival.

Standing in her way is Jack. The disarmingly handsome Irishman with emerald eyes and a quiet strength that threatens the walls around Sonny’s heart. To win, Sonny must do more than defeat her charming opponent. She must exorcise the chains of her past and embrace the ancestral power living in her DNA—a legacy stained on her skin.

If you love atmospheric Southern Gothic mysteries with a side of slow-burn romance, this is the series for you.

✔️ A Gritty New Orleans Setting: Experience the spirits of the abandoned Yellow Fever hospital. ✔️ Enemies-to-Lovers Romance: Mild spice with high emotional stakes. ✔️ High-Stakes Competition: A paranormal hunt where the prize is survival.

Perfect for fans of Alice Hoffman’s Practical Magic and readers who find themselves drawn to the secrets of the paranormal.

THE PHASES OF LILITH: A Dark Crescent Moon is the first book in a haunting new series about power, bloodlines, and the ghosts we carry with us.

I was surprised with how fast I was able to get a grasp on all the characters and find favorite in this book! The main girls interacting with each other, whether in the car or at the while investigating, feels so genuine and real. The connections between everyone just feels so real! This book also gets right to the point! It doesn't draw out scenes for no reasons and everything, even the spicy scenes, end up leading to more hints that unlock the mystery of the spirits they're trying to find....
