The Cloak's Shadow — Elle Beauregard

Callum is cursed. His lifelong ability to see and hear the dead has attracted a mysterious Shadow that threatens to make him its new host. Callum's spirit-sensitive dog and tattooed wards provide some protection, but when he meets Zander, the spirit world goes quiet for the first time in Callum's life—and the Shadow disappears. Zander loves her family, but a move to New Orleans is a much needed fresh start—away from the ghost stories her sister swears are real and the memory of childhood abuse. She's not looking for love, but when she meets Callum, his stable, grounded coolness is hard to resist—until he claims to see the dead except in her presence. Why is everyone around her so hung-up on paranormal make-believe?But when something Zander can't see attacks Callum, her presence blocks the invisible abuser, and she begins to wonder if her family's ghost stories have been true all long. Now the Shadow is targeting Zander's sister, and if Callum and Zander can't figure out how her rare power works and destroy the Shadow once and for all, it won't just take someone she loves, it will destroy the precarious balance between the living and the dead forever.A sexy, spellbinding romance...weaving a tale of love in the midst of darkness. --Kat Turner, author of The Coven Daughters series
