This town is full of secrets and the darkness runs deep.
Three women, tangled in a web of ancient oaths and magic, desire and danger, sacrifice and death.
One fights to survive. One fights for revenge. One fights to see it all finally end.
With many vampire, werewolf, and faerie books available, it’s easy to lose interest in the supernatural. However, Darkhouse introduces two memorable characters, Perry Palomino and Dex Foray, amateur ghost hunters who are relatable, slightly quirky, and endearing. This book offers a fresh, thrilling, and sexy take on supernatural themes reminiscent of Supernatural and The X-Files. Darkhouse is the first in the horror romance series, Experiment in Terror. Although this book contains some crude language, the series becomes progressively more explicit as it continues, so reader discretion is advised.
