Falling Into Magic by Elizabeth Pantley

Falling Into Magic by Elizabeth Pantley

An accidental journey through a magic mirror. A portal to an enchanted land. A mysterious family she never knew she had. Hayden’s life is upended with the wonder of Destiny Falls. But it is tainted by the danger that brought her here and that threatens her newfound family. Can Hayden and her sassy sidekick remove the threat, so that she can begin her magical new life in this captivating world?

When Hayden was a child, she lost her cat. Adults told her the cat ran away, but she knew the truth. The mirror had taken her. She knew because the mirror gave her a glimpse of an alternate world and had nearly pulled her in, so she was certain the cat had suffered that fate.

Twenty years later Hayden discovers the secret of the mirror when she is thrust into it. She learns of an enchanted world she never knew existed, and a family she never knew she had.

But danger brought her here, and it followed her. Now, Hayden is on a mission to remove the threat, so that she can begin her magical, meaningful new life in this enchanted world.

The Paisley Hunter Detective Files: The Butcher, The Takers, And The Money Makers (Book 1) by Alan W. Hounshell

The Paisley Hunter Detective Files: The Butcher, The Takers, And The Money Makers (Book 1) by Alan W. Hounshell

For former Chicago Police Detective Paisley Hunter, retiring to run a farm and an ice cream shop in Fester, Kentucky was a dream come true. It was a way to forget about her husband’s unsolved murder, bond with her daughter Kansas, and reduce her multiple sclerosis stress-related symptoms. However, some retirements are never meant to be.

A dead body discovered in Paisley’s ice cream shop’s freezer pulls Paisley into the dark world of the Black Market Syndicate (BMS), a greedy, global, criminal organization with powerful allies that sells babies and young teens for exorbitant prices, who so far has been unstoppable. Things become more complicated when a cannibalistic serial killer known as the Butcher becomes involved in the BMS’ Red River Gorge operation.

As Paisley closes in on the pregnant teens’ location, she finds betrayal and deceit at every turn. Paisley, along with an old high school boyfriend, Kentucky State Police Detective Bishop Knight, and her former CPD partner, Charlie Yocum (now an FBI agent), take on the Butcher and the BMS. Will they be able to stop the BMS before more babies are taken, and more girls are killed? Who can Paisley trust when the BMS has built itself on secrecy and loyalty and whose motto is “profit first?” Most of all — who is this Butcher, and why does this killer have an insatiable craving for human flesh?
