There she confronts a deadly family feud. Even worse, she quickly realizes that the demon she unwittingly unleashed years ago has been wreaking havoc on her small bayou hometown. With a bloodthirsty loa on the loose, LaShaun fights to stop the killing spree and save the town from destruction. But when she becomes a murder suspect, she teams up with the charming and unlikely ally. Not convinced by local superstition and gossip about LaShaun, Vermilion Parish Deputy Chase Broussard is determined to uncover the true culprit. Together, they battle human evil and the forces of darkness that threaten to consume them both. A Darker Shade of Midnight is a thrilling tale of magic, mystery, and murder.
In a frozen wilderness steeped in darkness, the lines between good and evil, lover and enemy, are never black or white but drawn in Shades of Midnight. Something inhuman is stalking the frigid Alaskan wilds, leaving unspeakable carnage in its wake. For bush pilot Alexandra Maguire, the killings stir memories of a horrific event she witnessed as a child and evoke in her the inexplicable sense of otherness she has long felt within herself but never fully understood . . . until a darkly seductive stranger with secrets of his own enters her world. Sent from Boston on a mission to investigate the savage attacks and stop the slaughter, vampire warrior Kade has his own reasons for returning to the frigid, forbidding place of his birth. Haunted by a secret shame, Kade soon realizes the stunning truth of the threat he faces–a threat that will jeopardize the fragile bond he has formed with the courageous, determined young woman who arouses his deepest passions and most primal hungers. But in bringing Alex into his world of blood and darkness, Kade must confront both his own personal demons and the even greater evil that could destroy all he holds dear.

#1 New Release and 5-Star Rated! "Middle-school-age-appropriate structure and vocabulary and fast-paced action make this an easy read for fourth to sixth graders, who will enjoy the descriptions of completely unempathetic adults." --The BookLife Prize "Andrew Luria, a real-life news and sports anchor, takes Charlie and Emma on a lively jaunt through space and time, and sports milestones, in this wonderfully-illustrated page-turner." --The BookLife Prize ******************************************************* Charlie Marley changed history as we know it. Which is incredible, considering he's the clumsiest kid on God's green earth. All it took was a few wrong turns, a couple accidental slips and one terribly misguided time-traveling golf cart to make it happen. Not to mention the threat of the scariest teacher in the universe, Mrs. Cooper the Pooper Scooper! Along the way, Charlie and his travel partners meet Babe Ruth, Jackie Robinson, Michael Jordan, Babe Zaharias, John Elway and Mary Lou Retton. They try to dodge the deceptive members of the time travel police. And last--but certainly not least--they witness the most horrifying sight they ever could have imagined. If they can earn their Time Travel Wings without breaking any of the time travel rules, they just might be able to change the most embarrassing ending in World Series history. But one wrong move, and they'll be sent off to do hard time in a galaxy far, far away. Looking back, perhaps they never should have gotten in that bizarre-looking high-tech golf cart in the first place. What would you do?! ****************************************** Seven-time Emmy Award-winner Andrew Luria makes his children’s book debut with this fun and informative middle-grade series, combining history, sports, time-travel and adventure!
