A young woman chosen as the crown prince’s bride must travel to the royal palace to meet her new husband—but her world is shaken when she discovers the dark truth the royal family has been hiding for centuries—in this lush fantasy debut perfect for fans of Song of Silver, Flame Like Night and Violet Made of Thorns. Princess Ying Yue believed in love...once upon a time. Yet when she’s chosen to wed the crown prince, Ying’s dreams of a fairy tale marriage quickly fall apart. Her husband-to-be is cold and indifferent, confining Ying to her room for reasons he won’t explain. Worse still are the rumors that swirl around the imperial palace: whispers of seven other royal brides who, after their own weddings, mysteriously disappeared. Left alone with only her own reflection for company, Ying begins to see things. Strange things. Movements in the corners of her mirror. Colorful lights upon its surface. And when, on the eve of her wedding, she unwittingly tears open a gateway, she is pulled into a mirror world. This realm is full of sentient reflections, including the enigmatic Mirror Prince. Unlike his real-world counterpart, the Mirror Prince is kind and compassionate, and before long Ying falls in love—the kind of love she always dreamed of. But there is darkness in this new world, too. It turns out the two worlds have a long and blood-soaked history, and Ying has a part to play in the future of them both. And the brides who came before Ying? By the time they discovered what their role was, it was already too late.

Helena Hunting

With her signature charm and sense of humor, bestselling author Helena Hunting creates a novel about love, family, and second chances in Make a Wish.

Ever have a defining life moment you wish you could do over? Harley Spark has one. The time she almost kissed the widowed father of the toddler she nannied for. It was so bad they moved across the state and she never saw them again.

Fast forward seven years and she's totally over it. At least she thinks she is. Until Gavin Rhodes and his adorable now nine-year-old daughter, Peyton, reappear at a princess-themed birthday party hosted by Spark House, Harley's family's event hotel. Despite trying to avoid the awkwardness of the situation, she can't help but notice how unbearably sexy he looks in a tutu. Add to that a spontaneous hives breakout, and it's clear she's not even remotely over the mortification of her egregious error all those years ago.

Except Gavin seems oblivious to her inner turmoil. So much so that he suggests they get together for lunch. For Peyton's sake, of course. It's the perfect opportunity to heal old wounds. Or it could just reopen them. This is one of those times Harley wishes she could see the future...

A TV ghost-hunting crew. A haunted house. An unimaginable crime. A past buried deep...

An Amazon US/UK Kindle Store Top 100 Bestseller: #1 Ghosts & Haunted Houses - #1 Paranormal - #1 Horror - #1 Ghosts - #1 Supernatural - #1 Occult

For some, ghosts are no more than the wounds loved ones leave in their wake, haunting the living only with their absence. Others take a more literal view...

Kate Bennett, presenter of paranormal investigation cable TV show, 'Where the Dead Walk', isn't sure what she believes, other than she seems cursed to lose all those closest to her.

After investigating a neglected cliff-top house, empty for a decade because it's 'haunted', Kate is convinced a spirit within holds the answers to a childhood she can't remember and an unimaginable crime.

What she can't know is that the house's owner, Sebastian Dahl, is searching for something too, and he intends to get it, whatever the cost.

What Amazon verified purchasers are saying -

- one of the most intriguing and enjoyable books I've read all year.

- Totally engrossing.

- Talk about thrills, chills and a great thriller, it's all here!

- more than a horror story about a haunted house.

- within this story is also mystery, love, relationships and friendships. It encompasses a great deal of everyday life all wrapped up in a ghost story.

- deep and rich and broad, convoluted in plot, twisted in character.

- one of those rare novels that I'm sure will stay in my memory for many years.

- I would recommend this to everyone who loves a great ghost story/horror story

- It isn't a horror story with proper fiction elements added to it, it is a well written novel with a frightening theme.

- full of clever writing, well-developed characters, and spooky elements.

- Great plot, twists, turns and the reader ties the loose ends along with the characters.

- I love paranormal mysteries with a touch of romance sprinkled in, and this is one of the best I've read yet.

- A strong heroine, a paranormal TV show, and a house that may not be haunted after all. All these elements made me want to read the book. But the author's original twist made it a real page turner.

- Very spooky, but with an excellent storyline. It soon got to the stage where I couldn't put it down. The twists and turns were brilliant.

- Heart felt, spooky, intelligently written story. A supernatural tale that incorporates grieving, loss, love, deceit and recovery.

- I'm a big fan of ghost hunting shows, so this was right up my alley! Keeps you guessing up to the very end.

- Exciting.....heart wrenching....surprising.....all of the above and more! Great subject and a gripping read!

- As a voracious reader of the horror genre, I am often left with a "been there, done that" feeling. This book was a pleasant surprise - a well written book with an original storyline.

- If you are fond of reading about anything paranormal, witchcraft, spirits, rituals, rites, and the supernatural, this is a book for you.

- The story had a lot of good action, was quick paced, and had a smattering of romance, with an interesting love story running through it. I would definitely buy a John Bowen book again.

- Combining reality TV, deception, spirituality, an unwilling romance, tragic loss, ghosts and the supernatural all painted on the backdrop of a vividly painted seaside backdrop readers will be drawn in right up to the last page. Enjoy the ride.

- This is a haunted house/paranormal book that will keep you at the edge of your seat trying to figure out what will happen next.

NATIONAL BESTSELLER * PEN/Faulkner Award Winner *  A gripping, tragic, and densely atmospheric masterpiece of courtroom suspense--one that leaves us shaken and changed. 

"Haunting .... A whodunit complete with courtroom maneuvering and surprising turns of evidence and at the same time a mystery, something altogether richer and deeper." --Los Angeles Times

San Piedro Island, north of Puget Sound, is a place so isolated that no one who lives there can afford to make enemies.  But in 1954 a local fisherman is found suspiciously drowned, and a Japanese American named Kabuo Miyamoto is charged with his murder. 
 
In the course of the ensuing trial, it becomes clear that what is at stake is more than a man's guilt. For on San Pedro, memory grows as thickly as cedar trees and the fields of ripe strawberries--memories of a charmed love affair between a white boy and the Japanese girl who grew up to become Kabuo's wife; memories of land desired, paid for, and lost. Above all, San Piedro is haunted by the memory of what happened to its Japanese residents during World War II, when an entire community was sent into exile while its neighbors watched.

Bryn Collins moved to the Eastern Tennessee mountains and never looked back when, fourteen years ago, her fiancé, Sawyer, jilted her for her despised sister, Del. Sawyer was later killed in a plane crash, but Bryn has never been able to forgive her sister for what she did, and instead chooses to spend her days in the idyllic beauty of the rugged landscape. Although a life-threatening accident ended her days navigating the perils of whitewater, she still finds refuge kayaking in the local lakes. But Bryn's placid life hits the skids when an unwelcome cast of characters reenters her life. Del goes mysteriously missing, leading her fourteen-year-old son, Josh, to Bryn's doorstep for help. Then Carl, a trouble-making outcast the sisters knew years before, is desperate to find Del because she owes him money, pulling Bryn into the orbit of his schemes. On the hunt for Del, Bryn and Josh follow an ever-elusive trail to Colorado, and at the annual Mountain Games competition in Vail, they finally confront the truth. For Bryn, all roads lead to the river, and on vicious Colorado whitewater, she is forced to muster every ounce of courage and strength she has to piece her family back together again.
