Where Secrets Run Deep and Danger Lurks in the Shadows...

Nico Frantoio thought coming back to Oliveto for spring break would be hard enough.

Then people started disappearing.

What should have been a trip home for his grandmother’s funeral turns far more dangerous when Nico discovers that beneath Oliveto’s sleepy small-town charm lies a hidden world of ancient magic, fey secrets, and long-buried lies.

When a powerful fey leader draws Nico and his bold, tarot-reading best friend Sofia into the hunt for the terrifying Oliveto Abductor, they are pulled into a dark supernatural mystery with deadly stakes. Every clue leads deeper into Oliveto’s haunted past—and closer to the truth about Nico’s family, his strange new powers, and the magic running through his blood.

But in Oliveto, nothing stays buried forever.

As the disappearances grow more chilling, Nico and Sofia must untangle a web of hidden bloodlines, ancient enchantments, and dangerous secrets before the next victim vanishes.

Because this time, the darkness may be coming for Nico.

Very Imaginative

The relationship between Nico and Sofia drew me right in to the characters. Both were very likable and the relationship between them reminded me of one great friends. The plot was fantastical, exciting, and I loved the atmosphere the author created. I would very much like to read a sequel because I think Nico and Sofia could definitely deliver more stories of mystery and magic. What a great new voice!

Entertaining story
