All I Desire — Heather Hambel Curley

~Editor's Pick~

Despite the newsworthy events at Gettysburg, twenty-two year old Madison Monroe and her boyfriend, Mike Caldwell, can't find archeology work. They're broke -- until a unique job falls in their laps: Briarcliff Lodge, a turn of the century hotel in New York. It's rotting, life extended only to allow time for an archeological survey. The building is abandoned, and its existence is malignant.

But something inside is awake.

Haunted by visions of death, Madison realizes she's being hunted: a spirit -- a predator -- bent on destruction and physical harm. Her relationship with Mike is at a boiling point, the dig is a disaster. And then they find something they shouldn't. Something that shouldn't exist.

The spirits are getting stronger and when the unthinkable happens, Mike and Madison find themselves tangled in a century's old mystery. Time is running out. The Lodge is ready to take her secrets to the grave. And maybe Madison, too.
