Ruby Holloway Reads After Dark: A Novel

"As a bestselling romance novelist with a troubled past, all Ruby Holloway ever wanted was a happily-ever-after of her own. But when she and her husband buy their first home, she finds her hopeful reality gripped by a dark force beyond her wildest nightmares... It all started with a book. Delighted to have a real-life author living in their midst, Carolyn Blackhurst can't wait to invite Ruby over for book club. That's when Ruby's introduced to Carolyn's favorite author - 17th century writer Verna Langley. With a giant portrait of the dead woman hung in her reading room, it's obvious Carolyn and her friends are more than mere fans, and after reluctantly taking their recommendation, Ruby soon discovers the haunting reason behind their obsession... A frightening power lies dormant within Verna's pages, waiting centuries for someone like Ruby to crack them open. As her sanity steadily starts to crumble, with her own past demons biting at her heels, now Ruby must stop the power's spread before it consumes everything she holds dear... ...before her happily-ever-after slips away."--Page 4 of cover.
