When blood seals a pact, the cost is always higher than you expect...
Emma Ward has survived more than most people could imagine. An abuse survivor who has rebuilt her life as a paranormal investigator, she has faced ghosts, hunted the truth, and stood toe-to-toe with those who use the supernatural for their own dark purposes. But nothing could prepare her for the tangled web of danger closing in around Hollow Creek.
In The Blood Oath, the fragile peace between humans and werewolves is on the verge of shattering. A mysterious killing sends shockwaves through the North Woods, and every trail leads back to an ancient pact written in blood. With both the werewolf clan and the human townsfolk pointing fingers, Emma finds herself walking a razor-thin line between sides that would happily tear each other apart.
When the Ghost-the spectral ally who has haunted her steps and her heart-issues his own cryptic warnings, Emma begins to suspect the true enemy isn't the one everyone is watching. And Darcy, the man who has been her anchor and quiet protector, grows more guarded with every secret she uncovers. Trust becomes a dangerous gamble when each revelation brings her closer to betrayal.
Then there's Ash-the enigmatic werewolf whose loyalty is as uncertain as his motives. Drawn into a reluctant alliance, Emma can't ignore the sparks between them, but with the Ghost's jealousy simmering and Darcy's silent watchfulness growing heavier, every choice she makes threatens to cost her more than she's ready to give.
As tensions rise, a blood ritual emerges from the shadows-a ceremony powerful enough to bind life, death, and loyalty in ways that can't be undone. To stop it, Emma will have to navigate shifting allegiances, supernatural politics, and the ghosts of her own past. And when the pact's price comes due, she may be forced to sacrifice not only her safety, but someone she loves.
Rich with the romantic suspense and immersive detail fans of the Survivor Paranormal Justice series have come to crave, The Blood Oath blends chilling supernatural mystery with the raw emotional intensity of an abuse survivor romance. Every chapter pulls you deeper into Hollow Creek's snowbound streets, haunted forests, and the hearts of characters fighting battles both in the shadows and within themselves.
If you've followed Emma from Shadows in Hollow Creek and The Wolf Pact, you'll find this installment raises the stakes higher than ever-pushing her to face not only the dangers outside, but the ones that have been lurking inside all along. And if this is your first foray into her world, The Blood Oath delivers an addictive mix of danger, desire, and paranormal intrigue that will keep you turning pages deep into the night.
With a pulse-pounding pace, cliffhanger chapter endings, and a cast of complex, unforgettable characters, The Blood Oath is more than just the next step in Emma Ward's journey-it's a turning point. Loyalties will be tested, love will be challenged, and the truth will demand a price no one is ready to pay.
Perfect for readers of survivor paranormal fiction, abuse survivor romance, and edge-of-your-seat supernatural thrillers, this book is a gripping blend of danger, passion, and mystery set against the atmospheric backdrop of a town where nothing-and no one-is entirely what it seems.
The blood has been spilled. The oath has been sworn. And in Hollow Creek, nothing will ever be the same.
