Something Hidden

Alex Owens

Science Fiction & Fantasy / Horror / Literature & Fiction

Newly single, newly dead... and just getting started. After the disastrous trip that ended her life, Claire needs to get her magic and blood-lust under control. And let's be honest, she could stand to rein in the regular ol' lust too. Even so, thanks to her Vampire Disability Fund, life is good. Well, as good as it can be for an un-dead, single-mom. But then two brothers buy the fixer-upper next door. Never mind that one's a sin waiting to happen and the other is a bit of a jerk, neighbors are bad news for a vampire in training. Plus, Claire can't shake the feeling someone's stalking her. Since she hasn't heard from her maker, Bette, or the other members of the Triad since Florida, she's on her own. Will Claire's innate magic, pearly fangs and biting wit be enough to help her through the incoming storm of trouble? Or will the darkness circling end up being her downfall? Fans of Laurell K. Hamilton's Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter series or the True Blood, Sookie Stackhouse series, will love this quirky paranormal fantasy complete with mayhem, magic, fangs and freaks.

Readers of the original trilogy can pick back up with the fourth book, due Spring 2018. **From the Author I adore paranormal novels and cut my reading teeth on Anne Rice's books back in the day. When I started this novel, it was because I'd never quite found the book I wanted to read-- one with a heroine more like myself. Not super-young and carefree, but a little more mature with a life and responsibilities. A Vampire soccer-mom. A Witch with a crumbling marriage. A vulnerable Empath in a strip club.   Crazy, I know. But fabulous fun to craft. I hope you have as much fun reading this novel as I did writing it! Be sure to visit authoralexowens.com for news, contests and to sign up for my newsletter!

That is, until she met up with a traveling Freak Show one fine day. Now she celebrates the unusual and appreciates how interesting life can be when you (ahem) open yourself to unique situations. Residing in coastal Virginia, Alex spends her days wrangling words and children, and on occasion a sassy cat (or three), a bull-headed Labrador, or her old, cantankerous horse. Her husband has figured out that towing the line is easiest in the long run. He's a smart man.

After the business trip that ended her mortal life, Claire needs to get her freakish talents and blood-lust (and let's be honest, regular ol' lust too) under control, so that she can be a good mom, hide her fangs and maybe try to coax her stripper-turned-nanny into wearing some actual clothes that won't make the local biddies fire up the gossip chain. Thanks to her Vampire Disability Fund, Claire just might get the boring life she dreams of after all.So what if two brothers (one hot, one decidedly jerkish) have moved into the only other house in her remote neck of the woods? And so what if she hasn't heard a peep out of her maker Bette or the other two members of The Triad? No news is good news, right? Oh, how wrong she is...
