Ann’s Undoing

Ghosts of Border House Book 4

by Leah Miles

Genre: Paranormal Ghost Romance

 

Ghost Dogs, a performing troupe, and a murder to solve.

Ann Darby was a rising movie star but died alone in a river in 1975. It seems she’s destined to spend eternity alone at Border House in Scotland. Halloween is the one night she can be visible to the living, but this year she plans to skip the party. That is, until a giant Highlander steps out of a green van in front of the house.

Callum McLeod performs in a small troupe for parties and events, waiting for his big break. Betrayed by the lover he trusted and fired by the employer he outperformed, he’s at the end of the road—personally, financially, and emotionally. His paycheck was supposed to cover rent. Now he’ll be evicted the moment he gets home.

Then a killer strikes in the maze, and Callum never makes it home at all. The house ghosts must work together to catch a murderer, and Ann has some hard choices to make if she wants her future to look different from her past.

Second look Book Review: Frost and Venom by Christine Feehan

Frost and Venom

by Christine Feehan
September 1, 2026 
Genre: paranormal romance
Deception and danger lay in wait in the beautiful, harrowing California backcountry in this gripping suspense novel from #1 New York Times bestselling author Christine Feehan.

Surgical and trauma nurse Harlow Frye loves the small town of Knightly, where breathtaking views of the Sierra and a tight circle of female friends provides a refuge from her professional life. But lately, it’s Harlow’s personal life that’s causing all the chaos.

First, a series of anonymous threatening letters are left in her mailbox. Then, Harlow is dealt a blow when her friend Lawyer dies after reacting to some sort of toxin. And to top it off, Harlow finds her secret obsession, CIA operative Hawkin Wilder, bleeding out on a mountain trail.

As Harlow turns her home into a makeshift hospital, her infuriating, attractive patient insists on distracting her. But even in the face of their increasing connection, there’s no way Harlow can ignore the escalating storm, when someone else close to her is struck down by the mysterious toxin.

With little more than intuition to go on, Harlow turns to the five friends who have proved themselves to be a better family than her own flesh and blood. As the women attempt to unravel the killings, they will need to rely on their instincts and their connection to each other—or else they’ll lose everything they’ve come to hold dear.
 

This is a first read by this author. And by the number of books she has written, I do not know why I have never come across her work before. Probably no estate sale, yard sale, or used bookstore has seen a copy because no one wants to give them up--you want to read the books again and again.

I just loved the story and the way she interacts with the characters as though she is in all the thoughts and actions they do--of course, she makes the words happen, but a girl can dream, can't she? I may never see a rattlesnake or spider in the same light, but the men and women she creates are very "enlightening"--you want to have the same type of friends, lovers, and protectors in your own life. You can almost "walk into the scene" when she describes a house, room, cafe, or a comfortable chair or couch.

I give the book a loud 5 Baaarts and lots of Baaaahhss- and will find more of her books to read.

I write every day and have done so since I was old enough to pick up a pen. (I spent a lot of time getting in trouble at school for writing instead of doing the things I was supposed to do.) Once I create my characters, I try very hard to have them react to situations as they really would. Sometimes I have preconceived ideas of what I would like them to do, but they don’t mind me, because it would be out of character for them. They take on a life of their own. Sometimes when I throw difficult situations at them in the hopes I’ll get a certain reaction and they don’t do what I want, I complain bitterly to my husband and he laughs at me. Still, it is important to me to have them be real, not perfect people, so they make mistakes we lesser mortals might make.

The Coven of Redthorn Manor by D. M. Million

We're celebrating the release of The Coven of Redthorn Manor this week! How perfect is this for the spooky season?!
 
by D. M. Million
October 27, 2026 
Genre: Paranormal Dark Fiction 
Her ancestors are calling on her to stop The Second Burning… All Davina wants is to finish her dissertation on the connection between Seventeenth-Century Witch Hysteria and modern witch intolerance to change the way the world perceives witch-kind. Inside Redthorn Manor, Davina is the reluctant high priestess of the Divine Moon Coven. She can’t seem to wield magic with authority. Now, with the rise of a Puritan revivalist group and their leader, Patrick Parris, and the group’s frequent live-streams of witch-burnings, she knows she must step up and protect her coven at all costs. 
 
When one of her sisters is attacked outside of the coven’s apothecary, Davina uses her family’s grimoires and academic research skills to find a solution to keep them safe. During her research, and with the help of an old acquaintance, Nathan Graham, Davina learns of an ancient prophecy that she must fulfill to stop The Second Burning Times. Her ancestral lineage is the key to Davina accessing an ancient form of magic that will help her defeat Parris and his lackeys, the King James Brotherhood (KJB). Her destiny is written in the stars: she either defeats Parris or he burns every last witch. 
 
Redthorn Manor is no longer a safe haven for the coven once Parris tries to burn it down. Davina can no longer ignore the prophecy—she must fight back! Saved by new allies, The Equinox, a secret coven of elemental sorcerers, and their sexy yet infuriating high priest, Cato, the Divine Moon Coven must leave Redthorn behind to help prepare Davina for her battle with Parris. 
 
To accomplish her goal, she needs to access sorcery magic before Parris does. He’s already ten steps ahead, and the clock is ticking.  
 
About the Author:
Thank you so much for being here on my author page. I am delighted to have you. I grew up in southern New Jersey, reading fantasy and paranormal books. I love anything that whisks me away to another world, and I wanted to create my own worlds for readers like myself to enjoy. I believe reading is not only an escape from our real-world problems, but a way to expand our minds, keep us sharp, and bring us joy. What I love about books is that we can use our imaginations to "see" what the author sees. When we watch TV or a movie, we can turn off our creativity and mindlessly view what the creators intended for us. But reading requires the engaging of our creative minds. I hope that you will enjoy my stories as much as I have enjoyed writing them. Thanks again :)

D. R. Mills is a (possibly insane) horror author known for works such as Riley Doesn’t Want To Fight Evil, and the YA episodic book series MONSTERS. He was born and raised in Gillette, Wyoming, and it’s entirely possible the curse binding his soul to that lovely little town is still in place. For now.

When he isn’t writing or working, he’s at home and taking in an unhealthy amount of movies, shows, and video games, or spending time with his beautiful wife. No matter the age range or the genre, all of Mills’s books have one thing in common – they are horror stories with heart.
