Cades Cove: The Curse of Allie Mae: Cades Cove Series: Book One

By Aiden James

Book Overview

"Ghost stories don't get any better than this." --J.R. Rain

Deep in a ravine in the picturesque Smoky Mountains is a very dark secret.

David Hobbs, vacationing with his wife Miriam in the beautiful Smokies, inadvertently stumbles upon a small cloth 'keepsake' bag and a broken tooth while visiting Cades Cove. A human tooth. Miriam begs David to hand the bag and tooth over to park officials, but he ignores his wife's pleas and secretly keeps the 'harmless' items. The action opens a doorway that had been closed for nearly one hundred years and unleashes Hell on Earth, or at least hell in the lives of David and Miriam.

Following the brutal murder of his best friend back in Denver, Colorado, and an unprovoked attack upon his oldest son at his family's home in Littleton, David desperately seeks to understand why a mysterious teenage girl has chosen to terrorize him and the males closest to him. To prevent further devastation to his family and end the wanton bloodshed, he returns to the enchanted hills of eastern Tennessee where a terrible truth awaits discovery.... One that forces him to face the consequences for the unpaid sins of his ancestors.

**IMPORTANT NOTE: This is the FINAL streamlined version of "The Curse of Allie Mae", and the mostly subtle changes in this version were based upon reader feedback I've received over the years, along with an effort to bring this story stylistically in line with the Cades Cove Series prequel, "Scarlet Hemlock" .

At present, "The Curse of Allie Mae" is available in paperback along with the Kindle ebook, and there is not a new hardcover or audio version at this time. Once a new audiobook version is completed and available (along with a possible new hard cover version), I will provide that update here.

All the best to each of you, my friends. I am forever grateful for your longstanding support of this series.
