I’m thrilled to help my wonderful blogging friend, Mae Clair, with today’s cover reveal for her second Hode’s Hill novel, End of Day. If you haven’t read the first one, Cusp of Night, what are you waiting for?
Release Date: January 15, 2019
Genre: Mystery/Suspense/Supernatural Thriller
Publisher: Kensington Publishing • Lyrical Underground Imprint
BLURB:
The past is never truly buried…
Generations of Jillian Cley’s family have been tasked with a strange duty—tending the burial plot of Gabriel Vane, whose body was the first to be interred in the Hode’s Hill cemetery. Jillian faithfully continues the long-standing tradition—until one October night, Vane’s body is stolen from its resting place. Is it a Halloween prank? Or something more sinister?
As the descendants of those buried in the church yard begin to experience bizarre “accidents,” Jillian tries to uncover the cause. Deeply empathic, she does not make friends easily, or lightly. But to fend off the terror taking over her town, she must join forces with artist Dante DeLuca, whose sensitivity to the spirit world has been both a blessing and a curse. The two soon realize Jillian’s murky family history is entwined in a tragic legacy tracing back to the founding of Hode’s Hill. In order to set matters right, an ancient wrong must be avenged…or Jillian, Dante, and everyone in town will forever be at the mercy of a vengeful spirit.
End of Day can be read as a stand alone novel or as a follow-up to book one of the Hode’s Hill series, Cusp of Night.
End of Day is available for pre-order through this link
and available to add to your Goodreads to-be-read list here.

Thanks, Marcia. Creepy is just the atmosphere I was hoping for!
I’m so glad you’re looking forward to the release of End of Day. And, oh–I would love for you to review Cusp on Amazon. They have now pulled or disallowed four of my reviews and every single one helps! 🙂

I have it on my calendar for this week, Mae! The review situation can get pretty discouraging. Up one day, down the next. GAH! They seem to remain steady on Goodreads, surprisingly, so that can help. But only if people post them both places, of course. *sigh* Hang in there! 🙂 ❤

Oh, I would love for you to review it, Julie. With so many pulled or disallowed my review numbers are floundering. I just do’t “get” Amazon sometimes!

Thanks, Marcia. It gets discouraging when a review goes up on Amazon only to be pulled down later. If they allowed it in the first place, why not let it stand?

It is, but it also gives the reader a good sense of the story. There’s something about cemeteries….

The house and the clouds, or is that fog, immediately caught my eye. I like the idea for the plot. May have to check this out.
