  It's 1968, and the Watry-Ridder family is feared and respected in equal measure. The local farmers seek out their water charms, and the teenagers, their love spells. The family's charms and spells, passed down through generations of witches descending from the Black Forest, have long served the small town of Friedrich, Minnesota. 
   
   
   
  Eldest daughter Elisabeth has just graduated high school—she is expected to hone her supernatural abilities to take over for her grandmother, the indomitable Magda. She's also expected to marry her high school sweetheart and live the rest of her life in Friedrich. But all she can ask is, why her? Why is her path set in stone, and what else might be out there for her? 
   
   
   
  She soon discovers that magic isn’t the only thing inherited in her family. That magic also comes with a great price—and a big family secret. The more she digs, the more questions she has, and the less she trusts the grandmother she thought she knew. Who is Elisabeth without her family? She must ultimately decide what she's willing to sacrifice for her family, for their secrets and their magic, or risk it all to pave her own way.

  "The Invisible Man" by H.G. Wells is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story introduces a mysterious and disfigured stranger who arrives in the quiet village of Iping, leading to a series of unsettling and bewildering events that disrupt the lives of the locals.  
  The central character, the Invisible Man, struggles with the consequences of his unique condition, which brings both power and alienation. At the beginning of the novel, we meet the stranger as he arrives at the "Coach and Horses" inn on a cold winter day. Wrapped in layers of clothing to conceal his appearance, he exhibits peculiar behaviors that alarm the innkeeper and other residents. His bandaged head and weariness suggest that he has endured some trauma, fostering intrigue and suspicion among the townsfolk.  
  As the narrative unfolds, a sense of isolation surrounds his character, hinting at deeper themes of identity, societal acceptance, and the moral implications of scientific experimentation. The opening chapters build a mystery around his true nature and set the stage for a blend of horror and thought-provoking commentary on humanity.

  After unwittingly inserting himself in the middle of a sting operation, Hunter Reeves finds himself sworn in as the newest agent of The Order, an international detective and crime-fighting organization - and under the supervision, of all things, a vampire named Kai. Hunter has precious little time to adjust to his new life, complicated by the fact he and Kai are quickly falling for one another. 
  But a series of fateful choices leads Kai to make a crucial decision that will affect their lives (and afterlives). Can Hunter cope with a rapidly changing world he finds himself pledged to protect? 
  "Reawakening is an engaging tale that thrives on the strength of its characters and the tension of its plot. McPherson's writing is immersive, with moments of humor and humanity that offset the darker themes. I would recommend this book to readers who enjoy supernatural fiction with a strong emotional core—fans of urban fantasy, romance, and action-packed thrillers alike." -Thomas Anderson, Literary Titan
