The Elijah Ward Series
There's something strange about Elijah Ward.
In the Southern Coastal town of Savannah, he struggles to conceal his psychic gifts of astral projection and retrocognition.
"If you're reading this, then I'm no longer alive, and you need to leave town before you're murdered." These were the haunting last written words Elijah's estranged brother, Owen, left him before committing suicide. Ignoring the warning, Elijah finds himself hunted by shape-shifting wolves ravenous for his flesh.
Recently excommunicated from her coven, Quinn Rowan has been honing her magical abilities since birth. Tormented by dreams of a mysterious man she loved in a past existence, Quinn is drawn to an abandoned historic property. The exact property where she watched the man she loved murdered two hundred years earlier.
Elijah is confident Quinn is his soulmate. But she was the last person to see Owen alive, and he suspects she wants to kill him. Unfortunately, she's the only person who holds the key to his survival. Bewitched by Quinn, Elijah is determined to uncover the spiritual connection between them and the truth behind his brother's death.

Living in a psychic utopia is hell.
At least, that's what it feels like for Elijah.
After becoming a shape-shifter, Elijah flees his home in Savannah. He finds shelter in a secluded paranormal village called Hawthorn in Washington. Settling into his new life, Elijah works nights as a security guard, keeping the psychically gifted population safe.
During a routine night shift, the wraith of a murdered woman comes to Elijah, desperate for help. Ignoring her call, Elijah struggles to control his new shape-shifting abilities and ravenous hunger for flesh. Attending frequent meditation sessions with Gillian, his assigned spiritual healer, Elijah's connection to the murdered woman unintentionally strengthens.
Unable to rid his mind of the ghost's request for help, Elijah investigates her death and discovers her association with Hawthorn. Digging further, Elijah uncovers the murdered woman's link to the unsolved mass abduction of five village teens.
When another teenage boy goes missing, Elijah is sure the good-natured psychics are keeping a sinister secret. One that threatens to destroy the village—one he’s sure they’d kill to protect. Determined to save the missing teen, Elijah fights against unthinkable evils to bring him home, discovering that making it out of Hawthorn alive may be more impossible than he thought.
