Summary

 
A vengeful ghost. An old secret. A weekend getaway they'll never forget.
Julia Klein's life has begun to unravel—her daughter Amy has been suspended from school, Julia is about to lose her job, and her boyfriend Garrett is being transferred thousands of miles away. Overwhelmed, she and Amy leave for a weekend at a rambling old colonial inn. Julia never suspects that Garrett, desperate to find a way to keep Julia in his life, has decided to surprise her by joining them. Nor does she expect her daughter to befriend a mischievous ghost…or that she herself would be possessed by the malevolent spirit of a long-dead mother.
As a dark secret emerges, Julia, Amy, and Garrett find themselves pitted in a fight for survival against a ghostly presence that intends to resurrect/repeat/relive a crime committed two centuries ago. And this time, Amy and Julia will be the victims.

    I finally came face to face with the serial killer who's been stalking me...and it didn't end well. 
    I'm Paige Harper and I'm now afraid to leave my own house. But a girl can only hide from reality for so long. So when my ex-husband needs my help finalizing our divorce so he can get remarried—it just feels like another bump in the pot-hole road that is my life. 
    There’s a minor wrinkle, though. We gotta go to Fairieland and petition Oberon—the King of the Fae himself—to make our split official. As usual, Jax has everything figured out—for himself. Nico will come along as my fake boyfriend to convince the Faerieland King that I've moved on. 
    Sounds like hell. 
    But when my former flame suddenly becomes an online sensation and my connection to the serial killer goes public—jetting off to Faerieland with my ex-husband and the werewolf fake boyfriend (I might have real feelings for) sounds like a vacation. 
    What could possible go wrong? We just gotta remember the Faerieland rules: Don't eat anything. Don't make any bargains. And just like everywhere else—sometimes it's kill or be killed.

    This is the story of perhaps the biggest miscarriage of justice in Australia. 
     
    Anna-Jane Cheney was a vivacious, popular and talented lawyer with an impeccable middle-class upbringing. The man she loved, Henry Keogh, was a divorced Irish migrant with three children. She died just six weeks before their wedding date and Keogh was convicted of her murder. Journalist Graham Archer became fascinated by the case. It wasn't a matter of guilt or innocence, but that a man could be sentenced to life without having received a fair trial. According to the prosecution Keogh had planned the murder 18 months in advance, taking out insurance policies over his fiancée's life and forging her signature on them. It took 13 years to have the case reviewed by the Supreme Court. In the end determination prevailed, and after 20 years behind bars Keogh was released. 
     
    “A fascinating, detailed and well researched tale of a gross miscarriage of justice by a system more concerned with sustaining the status quo than pursuing justice.” NED KELLY AWARD JUDGES
