Most family ties are silken threads. Others are literally handcuffs.
Kenzi Brannon thinks most of her problems are behind her until she gets a call from the local jail. Her mother, a proven killer, is being released due to overcrowding. Blood takes care of blood, so there is no turning Regina away.
She returns to live at Brannon House.
A haunted house.
A house reputedly so cursed, some neighbors want it razed to the ground.
But her niece's friends and the rest of the town would love to explore. And Halloween seems like the perfect time to open their doors to the community. Despite Regina promising to be on her best behavior, Kenzi has concerns her mother might do something to ruin the evening.
It turns out far worse than she feared.
With innocent lives on the line, Kenzi must put a stop to her mother's maniacal actions—but first, she'll have to find her.
