Two things are impossible to walk away from: death and vintage clothing. Trust me. I’ve tried.

Moving across the country and opening a costume shop was supposed to be my chance for a normal life. What I wanted was a fresh start, one where the biggest danger would be a carelessly wielded sewing needle.

What I got was the ghost of a murdered reporter demanding justice, a power I can’t control, and a new goat shifter BFF hell-bent on trouble.

Now, my hunt for the killer threatens to expose a supernatural community determined to safeguard its secrecy at any cost. My only chance to survive is to embrace the legacy I’ve spent my life running from.

Fastening the Grave is the first book in the completed Kali James series, featuring a reluctant necromancer who finds herself in a world of werewolves, vampires, and ghosts.

It all started with one boy. Orphaned. Adopted. Alone. Hiding a secret … The First Alpha.

The collapse has begun. Humans, forced to live in limited space, have segregated themselves … the core and the districts. The core has plenty; the districts barely survive.

Daniel, a district resident, finds himself orphaned, and is lucky enough to be adopted by core parents. But he doesn’t feel lucky. With his family gone, he’s alone in a hostile world that doesn’t make sense. And he’s changing …

Can Daniel hide the biggest secret of all, in a world of prejudice and fear?
