the alienville series

Who doesn’t love a small town? The friendly folks. The local businesses. Generations of families with a shared history. Surrounded by nature, a sanctuary from the traffic, crime, and crowds of the city. 

In all these things, Allenville, North Carolina, is a lot like other towns. But Allenville also has its secrets: An origin story that few would believe. An ongoing battle between good and evil. And, beyond its placid Main Street, both monsters and heroes that hide in plain sight.

A woman determined to find her sister. 

A man—and a town—determined to keep their secrets.

Dr. Moira McCann worries when her mercurial twin Claire fails to show up for a rare sisterly visit. Claire’s last text was from a small town in the North Carolina mountains—Allenville. And now Claire won’t respond to any texts or calls; her phone is dead. Which means Moira—the responsible sister—has to go looking for her. 

Allenville Police Chief Seth Call juggles the usual town disputes and the everyday trouble outsiders get into in his remote county. But early summer brings a special kind of chaos: it’s mating season in these mountains for a certain vicious species, and anyone is prey if they wander too far off the known paths. 

When Moira seeks his help finding her sister, Seth can’t hint at any of the real dangers she faces. Despite his instant attraction to this woman, Seth has his secrets to keep—about his town, about his people and their history, about what Claire’s true fate may have been. But Moira already believes there’s more to the cute little town of Allenville—and its sexy Police Chief—than it seems. And she won’t stop until she’s discovered the unearthly truth.
