WHAT HAPPENED HERE
STAYED HERE

Book Two in the Westville Series
​
The darkness never really left Westville.... And it never let go of Millie Thompson.
​
A year after the ritual that nearly killed her, Millie still sees shadows clinging to the people she loves—moving, watching, whispering her name in a boy’s voice from somewhere she can’t reach. Whatever followed her back from the dark… isn’t done with her yet.
​
For Officer Casey Benson, the uneasy calm shatters when a string of brutal, ritualistic murders grips the town. Partnered with D.C.B. Agent Dana Reeves, Casey is drawn once more into a labyrinth of government secrets, ley-line experiments, and forces beyond comprehension.
​
When a mysterious drifter becomes the prime suspect and Westville’s leaders begin to fall—each claimed by the same living shadows stalking Millie—Casey and the kids must uncover the truth before Homecoming night turns into the town’s last.
​
Because in Westville, the real monsters aren’t hiding in the dark.
They’re smiling at you—just beneath the skin.
