A small-town mystery. A missing brother. A secret that should've stayed buried.
He left home to escape the past.
Now the past is waiting-hungry.
Paul Peterson returns to his quiet hometown for the first time since medical school, expecting an awkward homecoming and a few uncomfortable memories. Instead, he walks into a nightmare: his brother has been missing for years, the town is drowning in secrets, and the woman he's told he once loved is back in his life like a door that never fully closed.
Cait Kitty McKlean is the kind of woman people depend on-sharp, stubborn, and impossible to ignore. She's also the kind people fear. The town thinks they know her. They don't.
Because Kitty has been guarding the truth for five long years.
And if Paul gets too close, it won't just ruin her-it could destroy everyone she's trying to protect.
As Paul hunts for answers, the trail turns dark: strange deaths that don't fit the official stories, clues that don't make sense, and whispers of something old beneath the town's soil-something that has haunted their families for generations. The deeper he digs, the more it becomes clear that his brother didn't simply disappear.
He was taken.
Now Paul and Kitty are racing a clock they can't see, pulled into a web of murder, legacy, and otherworldly forces that don't forgive curiosity.
Because in this town, secrets aren't kept.
They're buried.
And sometimes... they bleed.
Blood of the Rose is a gripping small-town paranormal mystery filled with buried history, slow-burn tension, and escalating danger-perfect for readers who love eerie secrets, murder investigations, and folklore-laced suspense.
Perfect for fans of:
- small-town mysteries with dark secrets
- paranormal/folklore undertones
- missing-person cases + murder investigations
- tense relationship dynamics and emotional stakes
- fast pacing with cliff-edge reveals
