Light From The Grave — Sara Dobie Bauer

I'm what nightmares are made of, but I'm not sure who's more dangerous: him or me.In the world of witches, Keller Rex is a legendary monster-a dark sorcerer with a gift for suffering. He has long been the protector of the Zayne coven and their ancestral home in Charleston, South Carolina. When the family matriarch, Vivian Zayne, dies under mysterious circumstances, he is tasked with finding the only person who can open her sealed Book of Shadows: the son no one knew she had. Dylan Quinn has never bothered to figure out why cats follow him everywhere, but it's been that way for as long as he can remember. After the unexpected passing of his adoptive mother, he had to make a new home for himself in small-town Ohio. Things have been quiet ever since, but lately, there are strange voices in his dreams and a sense of being watched. When a striking Southern gent appears in town, Dylan welcomes the distraction. Keller is handsome and charming, but Dylan can tell there's something else, something eerie about him. And he discovers he's right, as Keller goes from being Dylan's seducer... to his abductor. Now back in Charleston, Dylan's newfound family is shocked when it's discovered his magical affinity is for death itself. Despite his fears, he'll need to learn to control his terrifying powers in order to open the Zayne Book of Shadows. He also needs to keep his coven safe, and time is running out. The estate's protective wards expire on Halloween, and power-hungry witches from all over are ready to pounce. While Dylan's awakening darkness threatens to overwhelm him, Keller finds himself confronted by feelings he thought long dead. Keller will do anything to protect his young necromancer and open Vivian's Book of Shadows, but the Zaynes are in for a surprise when Dylan resurrects someone he shouldn't.
