Summary

“An intense, gripping read that had me snared from the start.” —Amazon reviewer, five starsIs this London detective hunting a serial killer—or a supernatural entity? “Genuinely creepy and panic inducing moments.” —Scream magazine When a bloody corpse is discovered in a North London park, Det. Insp. Daniel Graves is the man tasked with finding the killer. However, with no clues and no suspects, the case seems like a dead end. Then another body turns up—and this time, it looks like it could be Graves’s fault. Has his investigation caused the murderer to strike again? Is he dealing with a serial killer? As the case gets ever more complicated, a report comes in of another suspicious death—but this is nothing like any other Graves has dealt with. All involved are convinced that something supernatural is to blame: a demon. Graves is no believer, but could he be wrong? With two cases on his shoulders and the truth behind each beyond his grasp, Graves must race against time before both killers, human or otherwise, strike again.Praise for WD Jackson-Smart “[Jackson-Smart] lures readers in and holds them.” —Online Book Club “Had me going all the way to the very end.” —Barbara T. Cerny, author of The Tiefling

    My tiny new wife is a force of chaos bent on turning my life upside down. 
     
     
     
    I am a researcher. I read books, conduct experiments, and live quietly on the fringes of the orc town. All I want is peace, quiet, and a female to satisfy the wild urges of my orc body so they don't distract me from my work. 
     
     
     
    Getting a human wife through the Temple seems like a logical solution—until I bring her home and she starts sowing chaos. She moves my books, cuts my herbs to make bouquets, and replaces the blessed silence with laughter and song. For such a tiny person, she can be very loud. And opinionated. 
     
     
     
    Worst of all, she does nothing to calm my libido. Instead, she makes my body eager and my mind obsessed. She encroaches on my space, my work, my thoughts, and worst of all, my heart. 
     
     
     
    I hate being out of control, yet with her, it's all I can be. This cannot go on. Something has to give.

    A baby will never be born at Blackwater. 
     
    There is much that heavily pregnant Grace still doesn’t know about her new husband King’s background. So, when word comes that King’s father is dying, Grace is eager to accompany him to his childhood home, Blackwater, located in a remote part of Tasmania. 
     
    Things go badly from the start. The house is in terrible repair, King’s dying father yells at Grace to leave and King’s twin sister, Ruth, seems disturbed by Grace’s presence. After his father’s death, King convinces Grace they must stay and help Ruth settle the estate, but as time stretches on he grows strange and distant. When Grace learns about Blackwater’s dark history, she begins to fear that it is the house itself exerting an evil influence on her husband. 
     
    Feeling increasingly isolated, and with the birth of her child looming, Grace knows she must uncover the secrets of Blackwater if she hopes to free her family from its grip. 
     
    ‘A riveting story that twists present with a horrifying past. Blackwater is Australian Gothic at its finest.’ ANNA SNOEKSTRA 
     
    ‘A compelling, atmospheric and immensely satisfying novel containing echoes of Stephen King and Daphne du Maurier.’ CHRIS WOMERSLEY

    Everyone has a final secret. I collect them.  
     My patients aren’t on my ward just to die - they’re here to confess.  
    Before the body bag, there’s a final reckoning. Murderers. Serial Killers. Monsters in human skin. They tell me their truths because I don’t flinch - and because I’ve made a deal with death.  
    These are the confessions no one gets to hear.  
    These are the behind-the-scenes confessions that don’t make it into the Asylum Confession books, the ones I hear but wasn’t sure I’d share.  
    Well, now I am.  
    And you get to hear them. 
    One confession at a time. 
    Welcome to Only Jack Knows. 
    What to expect: 
    They say curiosity killed the cat—but in my case, it just gave me a job. 
    In Origins and Death, you’ll find out how I ended up in the deepest, darkest ward of an asylum the world forgot existed. I’ll introduce you to Newman—the man who changed everything for me. A paralyzed rapist with a mouth full of lies and one dying wish: to be remembered. 
    He was the first to confess. 
     He wouldn’t be the last. 
    This is a guided descent into the minds of the damned. And I’m the one holding the flashlight. 
    Come closer. You’ll want to hear this. 
     Because once the dead start talking… 
     You can’t unlisten.
