Soulless

All Alena wanted was a quiet place to recover from the trauma of war and a place where secrets could hide in plain sight. Creemore seemed the perfect place, full of quirky characters and endless varieties of beer. The ideal place to hide away from the world.

With the inconvenient appearance of a demon head impaled on the front lawn, all notions of secrecy and peace are fractured. When Marcus appears on her doorstep to investigate, Alena is sucked into a world full of everything she was tied so fiercely to escape. Teamed up with Marcus to find the reason for her uninvited guest, the investigation turns into something much more than a morbid scarecrow on her lawn. Marcus and Alena soon find themselves in a race against time to discover the truth behind before the magical world is torn apart. Left with no good options, she faces exposing her secrets to the very man who could destroy everything she sacrificed so much to protect or watch the world burn. Alena will need to choose between living in the shadows and just existing, or standing up and protecting those who need her, no matter what the cost.

Soulless is the first novel in The Creemore Series. If you like smart-ass heroines, intrigue, and slow-burn romance, Ember Russell's Creemore Series will not disappoint.
