You appreciate paranormal elements mixed with everyday small-town life and gardening details.

Maybe not for you if...

You want a traditional romantic subplot where the lonely outsider finds love and belonging.

You're looking for dark or gritty explorations of a character's violent past.

About this book

Dante arrives in Te Kohe, a small coastal town in New Zealand, seeking a fresh start. He has no interest in opening a bed and breakfast, rescuing a struggling bookshop, or pursuing a romance with a single mother. Instead, he wants to leave behind his former career—one that involved numerous deaths—and be left alone. However, circumstances have other plans for him.
