The Insatiable Hunger of Trees

After her marriage unexpectedly ends, 26 year old Marisa takes her cat and moves halfway across the country for a fresh start in a nowhere town on the Maine coast. With free lodging in the form of housesitting a cozy, log cabin, Marisa makes herself overlook the town's local legend about the woman who lived there first. Some people believed Evie killed a guy, others think she cursed him, but everyone knows neither she nor her alleged victim have been seen for two decades. When Marisa stumbles across Evie's journal in the house, strange things start occurring around her. Animals scratch at the windows and walls of the house, invisible eyes watch her every move, and, somehow, a horse appears in the previously empty barn. And that's before the hallucinations start. With no one else to turn to, Marisa seeks the reluctant help of her new friend, Jonah, to solve the mystery of what Evie did and where she went and determine if her ghost is responsible for the strange events surrounding Marisa. Marisa must uncover the truth about the entity haunting her house, or risk losing a chance at a fresh start, or worse, her life.

The Roots In Your Bones

Seventeen-year-old Cara Hughes doesn't have time to believe in monsters. When Cara's older sister, Shelby, returns home after a year-long disappearance, unable to say what happened or where she went, Cara's family is thrown into turmoil-again. As it is, Cara's barely juggling her job, school, and volunteer work, and she's desperate to be chosen for a corporate internship-something that would guarantee a two-year degree she could never afford without relying on the same loans that left her parents struggling. At first, Cara is just worried about Shelby's odd behavior and unpredictable moods, then she discovers the body of a teenager, viciously attacked, in the very woods where Shelby vanished. And the teen is just the first victim. Cara clings to the belief that an animal is responsible for the deaths until she realizes she's being stalked by a strange creature in the woods-and it's no animal. Plagued by strange visions and with her carefully-balanced life falling apart around her, Cara reaches out to the only person who can help her, Lucas Powell, a self-proclaimed monster hunter. His theories are outrageous, and Cara hopes her decision to trust him isn't a mistake, but the only way to know is by putting his theories to the test. Cara must face the woods herself, where the creatures she's tried so hard to deny lurk in the dark.
