FORLORN is book #10 in a long-anticipated new series by #1 bestseller and USA Today bestselling author Blake Pierce, whose bestseller Once Gone (a free download) has received over 7,000 five star ratings and reviews.

Superstar FBI Agent Morgan Cross was at the height of her career when she was framed, wrongly imprisoned, and sent to do 10 hard years in prison.

Morgan is not the same person, no longer willing to play by the rules, and will stop at nothing this time. 

In a non-stop thriller, it will be a deadly cat and mouse chase between a diabolical killer and an ex-con FBI agent who has nothing left to lose—with a new victim’s fate riding on it all.

Never turn off the light

Eleanor Vane

This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
Six months after surviving the Nocturne case, Elena Méndez thought the horror was behind her. Then comes the letter, sealed in black wax, naming her the sole heir to Blackwood Manor — a forgotten estate in Hollow Creek where memories linger like rot and the past whispers through the walls. 
What begins as a legal formality quickly unravels into a nightmare. Lamps burn with thick, red oil. A well in the garden sings with voices that are not human. Diaries, letters, and forgotten rituals reveal a family legacy soaked in blood: every generation of the Blackwood line must feed “The Guest,” an ancient entity bound by a pact — in exchange for prosperity, power… and silence. 
As Elena descends into the house’s secrets, she uncovers the truth of her lineage, the madness of her ancestors, and the price of surviving what lives beneath the floorboards. Told through atmospheric chapters and interludes drawn from 19th-century journals, medical reports, and recorded confessions, Never Turn Off the Light is a slow-burning gothic horror novel that blends psychological dread with occult mythology. 
Fans of The Haunting of Hill House, Mexican Gothic, and The Silent Companions will find themselves right at home — if “home” is a place with blood-soaked walls and a mirror that smiles before you do. 
The Blackwood house doesn’t want to be inhabited. It wants to be fed.
