About this ebook

There’s something about the end of summer that makes old secrets restless.

David finally knows the truth about the moon garden, the fae, and what I’ve been doing on full moon nights. But months later, things between us are still strained. And with the fae expecting him to make an appearance, we can’t avoid the subject forever.

I’d just like our relationship on solid ground before exposing him to more of my weird world.

When David’s cousin Marco arrives in Crescent Bay with his new wife, Astrid, I’m hoping some family time is just the ticket. But one careless comment from Astrid reveals a secret David never told me.

Apparently, I’m not the only one who has trouble sharing everything.

Relationship problems take a back seat when Astrid finds construction worker Jon Sherman dead inside the local library, in an area closed for remodeling. I find it curious that she was the first one there…

Beneath Jon’s body is a mark that has been hidden for a century. A crescent moon. A sixteen-pointed star. A symbol painted beneath the floorboards in a dark, rusty red that looks disturbingly like old blood.

And Arold Cayne is already at the scene.

The local ceremonial magician has been trying to uncover my family’s supernatural connections for years. What does he know about the symbol? Why was it hidden inside the library? And why did Jon die just as the renovation exposed it?

The moon garden has taught me that some secrets are dangerous to uncover. But nothing stays buried forever.


Welcome to the Moon Garden Mysteries paranormal cozy mystery series, a magical blend of paranormal women’s fiction and cozy mystery for those who believe forty marks a new beginning, cats can talk (and you’d better listen), and when you’re guarding a fae portal, chocolate is a girl’s best friend.
