  I’m pregnant. Yep, you heard that right. Pregnant. And while I’m trying really hard not to freak out about that, Hollow Cove is busy preparing for its Headless Horseman reenactment—a big deal around here, apparently. But just as the town is gearing up for spooky fun, events take a real-life terrifying twist. A body is discovered, and carved into it are the words: “Give it back.” 
  Before I can even fully process the fact that I’ve got a tiny, magic-wielding bun in the oven, more bodies start showing up—the kind with creepy messages and a very dead vibe. Suddenly, Hollow Cove feels less like home and more like the set of a horror flick. 
  My aunts, badass witches that they are, seem to know more than they’re letting on, and the pressure’s on to figure out who—or what—is behind the murders before the whole town goes into full-on panic mode. Oh, and did I mention my powers are acting up at the worst possible times? Perfect timing, as always. 
  It’s a race against the clock to stop the killer, keep my baby safe, and maybe, just maybe, survive long enough to figure out how the hell I’m supposed to be a mom. Because in Hollow Cove, the monsters don’t wait—and neither does murder.

  Relocated to a resort community in North Carolina, the Carrullo family is existing--but not much more. An attempt to boost the spirits of the family matriarch results in a widely successful independent business and an out-of-control partner who brings the family unwanted press coverage and notoriety. Unfortunately, the notoriety attracts the attention of a foreign head of state with an axe to grind. Before the worst can come to pass, the family is relocated once again, this time to their original hometown. This doesn't stop a determined foreign enemy who tries a different approach to solve his "Carrullo problem." 
  The Carrullo family is a multi-generation member of American organized crime. Their expertise is prized by the other families for those circumstances when internal family problems cannot be resolved within the family. The Carrullos are well known within organized crime but not the general public. However, an American intelligence agency discovers their existence. Rather than inform the law enforcement establishment, the agency discovers the Carrullos are an ideal solution to a challenging problem. The Carrullos unwillingly take on the agency as a client to avoid criminal prosecution. 
  Unfortunately, a Russian Federation intelligence organization discovers the Carrullos as well. They want the exclusive use of the family's talent, and they're willing to go to extremes to make that happen.

  Adam is having a hard time adjusting to the stay-at-home-dad life. The sleepless nights and the constant diaper changing are not what he expected after he was abruptly fired from his job. Then again, Adam wasn’t prepared for his relationship with his wife Sarah to slowly come apart at the seams either. One thing, however, keeps him going—his growing obsession with his neighbor, Ali. But one night, something changes. While staying up with his baby, instead of seeing Ali in the window across the way, he sees her ex-boyfriend, Crispin, lurking around her house before disappearing within. When Adam hears that Ali doesn’t show up for work the next day, and she doesn’t seem to be home, he fears the worst—that she’s been abducted, or possibly killed. His search for the truth will lead him on a path filled with deceit and lies. Adam knows the answers are lurking somewhere in the shadows of his small suburban town—the trouble is, the truth is hard to find when everyone has something to hide.
