Shadows of Ocmulgee

By: Shari Malin

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Cleaning up murder scenes is messy. Accidentally waking the dead is a death sentence.

Tatum Locke is a pragmatic trauma cleaner in Macon, Georgia, just trying to pay her rent and ignore the chronic migraines she gets around graveyards. But when a gruesome job in the sweltering Ocmulgee bogs exposes her to a blood-soaked floorboard, her latent Grave-Speaker magic violently rips open. Suddenly, she's a walking lightning rod for the dead—and a feral, starving poltergeist has just anchored itself to her soul.

Enter Gideon Nash. He's massive, blistering hot, and the newly ascended Alpha of the local panther clan. He's also hunting the exact same rogue spirit that's currently trying to drain Tatum's life force.

To survive the haunting, the cynical trauma cleaner and the fiercely protective apex predator must forge a dangerous, reluctant alliance. Armed with nothing but a cast-iron skillet, a traumatized rescue Chihuahua, and terrifying new necrotic powers, Tatum has to dive deep into the haunted bogs to banish the monster.

She never wanted to be a conduit for the dead. But if the ghosts want a fight, she's bringing the Alpha.

Shadows of Ocmulgee is the gritty, high-stakes prequel to The Grave-Speaker Chronicles. If you love badass heroines, dark Southern Gothic magic, and scorching, protective shifter romance, step into the bogs.
