If you are a fan of horror, small towns, and coming-of-age magic-users, then have I got a suggestion for you! 

High Lonesome Sound by Jaye Wells

“Secrets won’t stay buried. Neither will the dead. 

In the sleepy mountain town of Moon Hollow, Virginia, there is a church with a crooked steeple. No one will say for sure how it got that way, but it’s the reason the whole town gathers every Decoration Day to honor the dead.

This year, there are two fresh graves up on Cemetery Hill, a stranger’s come to town, and the mountain’s song is filled with dark warnings.

The good people of Moon Hollow are about to learn that some secrets are too painful to bear, and some spirits are too restless to stay buried.”

I really liked this book. The chapters are short so it was an easy read with limited time. It’s intriguing, creepy, and, at times, poignant. The narration follows several different points of view (a writer, a preacher, a teenage girl, and a grandmother who is also a witch), but it does so in such a way that there is very little confusion about who is speaking and their experiences.

I am a big Jaye Wells fan! This book is a little different from her other works, but still highly recommended.

No matter what happens, remember to trust yourself. Loyalty has its place, but your first responsibility is to yourself.

Prospero's War #1 Dirty Magic,Jaye Wells

Synopsis: The last thing patrol cop Kate Prospero expected to find on her nightly rounds was a werewolf covered in the blood of his latest victim. But then, she also didn't expect that shooting him would land her in the crosshairs of a Magic Enforcement Agency task force, who wants to know why she killed their lead snitch. The more Prospero learns about the dangerous new potion the MEA is investigating, the more she's convinced that earning a spot on their task force is the career break she's been wanting. But getting the assignment proves much easier than solving the case. Especially once the investigation reveals their lead suspect is the man she walked away from ten years earlier—on the same day she swore she'd never use dirty magic again. Kate Prospero's about to learn the hard way that crossing a wizard will always get you burned, and that when it comes to magic, you should be never say never.
