In a house full of secrets, one woman’s need for the truth may cost her life.

Ink still wet on her divorce papers, Rhea Harding arrives at Cambre House yearning for nothing more than sanctuary from the horrors in her past.

The sprawling estate offers romantic décor and lush gardens… but it’s all just a picturesque façade. As the sun sets and shadows creep, the house shows itself to be something else. Something secretive. Something sinister. And its occupants, at first so welcoming, are keeping its secrets to themselves.

Unable to leave and unsure who to trust, Rhea’s hold on reality begins to slip away. Will she lay bare the truth of Cambre House? Or sacrifice her sanity—and life—for the peace she so desperately sought?

If you enjoy raw emotion, haunting prose, and spine-tingling suspense, then you’ll love Jo Buer’s newest gothic novella. Immerse yourself and discover the truth of what lies Between. Buy your copy now and read today!

Author: Rachel Caren Kisala

In a just world, being on the street where a shooter opens fire should have been the worst thing ever to happen to Kara Richards. Okay, in a REALLY just world, even that shouldn’t have happened, but given that it did, it should not have been followed by mysterious deaths, disappearances, decapitation…demons? When did demons start being a thing that a girl with a college degree, a steady job, and a tiny apartment in the big city had to worry about?

Thankfully this crazy week also brings a guy with a car into her life, because her own two feet and Boston’s Green Line trains probably aren’t up to the job of keeping her one step ahead of whatever’s coming after her.
