After a wild and life changing year, Alex Finch is finally settling in - until people in Emmettsville start to go missing.
Flimsy evidence points to a local hermit, but when Alex looks beyond the surface, she uncovers clues leading to a nastier conclusion - that a new monster has come to town.
When her dad joins the missing, she vows to do whatever it takes to find him - before it's too late.
Cate Dean has been writing since she could hold a pen in her hand and put more than two words together on paper.
She grew up losing herself in the wilds of fantasy worlds, and has had some of her own adventures while tromping through the UK, and a few other parts of the world.
A lover of all things supernatural, she infuses that love into her stories, giving them a unique edge.
When she's not writing, she loves cooking, scaring herself silly in the local cemeteries, and reading pretty much anything she can get her hands on.
There - I got the official biography out of the way. I love to write, and yes, I have been doing it most of my life. I've made up stories in my head for as long as I can remember, and I am thrilled to be able to write them down and share them with you.
