A few hours later, the snow was piling up on the roads and making it impossible to leave town. Despite the bad roads, Cleo’s mother had asked Cleo politely if she would mind not spending the night. She wanted some alone time, or at least as much as she could get with the night nurse […]

One bedroom, one bathroom in Allston with a parking space. Three times what she was currently paying with Edie, but reasonable for Boston. And it would be doable as long as the album sales continued. Cleo scrolled through the listings online, getting an idea of what was available back in Boston. It didn’t look like […]

The loan wasn’t approved. Andrew could tell what had happened even before Olivia opened her mouth. She was sitting in front of her email, the laptop on the kitchen table beside her breakfast plate. She’d opened the message from their bank, scanned it for a second, and then he’d seen her heart break in real […]

Olivia still wasn’t entirely sure this wasn’t a dream. The realtor, Shannon, was vaguely familiar from high school as she greeted her, Noah, and Andrew at the front of the Limerick building. Trying to quell the butterflies in her stomach, she smiled at Shannon and shook her hand. “The owner is looking for a quick […]

Olivia brushed the amulet around her neck with a finger as she sat on the deck and gazed out at the woods. It was cold this morning, but the air felt clean and fresh. Almost cleansing. Maybe it was actually cleansing her. Celine had talked a lot about during the times she’d checked in over […]

“Andrew, come on. Are you alright?” Andrew groaned and opened one eye, scowling at whoever was disturbing him right now.

Roman had told himself he was done. After the shit that Iris had pulled with Olivia, he decided it wasn’t worth ever working with her again. If she was so careless that she would get an innocent person possessed twice, then what good was she when it actually came time for them to get out […]

Iris didn’t technically need to be at the Countess today. She had her own apartment, with plenty of space for her to work. And despite searching multiple times, there were still no other books that seemed useful for figuring out the curse. But after her adventure with Rosalind Alderidge the other night, she wanted to […]

Andrew looked out the living room window and cursed Iris for being right. One minute he’d been looking at flurries in the backyard, and the next he couldn’t see Mia’s flipped-over pool anymore. Now it was about eight in the morning and he didn’t have anywhere to go. Neither did Liv, and she was still […]

There were snow flurries drifting down as Andrew got to Iris’s shop the next afternoon. He wasn’t working today, but even after seeing her last night, he’d been concerned. He’d managed to wait until after lunchtime before giving in and coming back. At least he’d given her some time to sleep if he was being […]
