It’s supposed to be a fun summer… then a girl goes missing.

Mermaid Cliff by Brandon Rohrbaugh

About Mermaid Cliff by Brandon Rohrbaugh:

Secrets come to light in this supernatural mystery, sending one teen on a journey that will change his life – forever.

Rockport is a small, seaside town. After the new girl at school is found murdered beneath the iconic, Mermaid Cliff, a group of teens will hunt for the killer or become the next victim. The town is thrust into the national spotlight, forcing an investigation into the town’s darkest secrets.

The townspeople have always preferred to stay out of the spotlight. They have their own traditions and secrets. The most intriguing part of Rockport, however, is the Legend of Mermaid Cliff. It’s not a science fiction story of vampires or werewolves. It’s not a fantasy tale of magic or superpowers. The Legend of Mermaid Cliff is a reminder; a reminder to the townspeople of their sinister past.

One boy, Mark Parker, swears to avenge the death of the girl found murdered beneath the cliff. Mark recruits the help of some friends and begin to unravel the mysteries of Rockport. The events that transpire during the investigation send Mark on a path that will question everything he ever knew.

If you like sinister demons, warrior angels, supernatural powers, ancient lineages with a twist of deception and ruthless revenge… then you won’t want to miss this new exciting page-turning series.
Three Worthy…
Three Wicked…
Free will has never cost so much.

Seventeen-year-old Olivia has seen some wild things living in Las Vegas–but never a demon–until one attacks but fails to kidnap her. Left with a celestial mark on her chest, Olivia sets out on a treacherous journey with two friends who share in her mystical lineage, only to find herself blindsided by the unwelcomed return of her absent father. Now, she must unravel her parent’s deceit and grapple with her painful past all the while unlocking the powerful secrets that will forever change her world.

No big deal, right?

Except she’s also fighting her growing attraction to one of her friends while thrust into the unending war between the Fallen and Archangels. When the Fallen strike against her, three with their own malicious agendas, and plot revenge upon those she loves, Olivia finds herself faced with an impossible mission.

Can she leave her life behind and enhance her powers to master the supernatural skills needed to slay the Fallen while guarding the secrets of Orion?

Of course. Not a problem.

Except if she fails, the balance between Heaven and Hell will shift–leaving mankind at the mercy of the ultimate evil and his bloodthirsty horde.
