Hemlock Lane Ellen Dugan

A new dark fantasy trilogy from author, Ellen DuganWelcome to Hemlock Hollow, a little town tucked deep within the Ozark mountains where Witches, Lycans and the Fae have quietly existed with mortals for nearly two hundred years... Single mother Daphne Hart only dreams of living an ordinary life. Although her mother is a Witch, her father is mortal and Daphne ended up with no magickal talents whatsoever. Neither a part of the supernatural community, nor considered wholly mortal, Daphne has still made her own way. She owns, and successfully runs, the local ice cream parlor on Hemlock Lane. It is a very popular spot with not only the tourists, but also the mortals and the various races of supernatural beings that live in the hollow. Ashton Lowell, a mysterious, yet attractive newcomer to town, has moved into the old house right down the road from Daphne. While her new neighbor certainly is sexy, he's been acting very strangely. One minute he's aloof, the next he's charming and kind...and despite herself, Daphne is drawn to Ashton. Daphne's vanilla world is further shaken when she discovers a body dumped behind her place of business. However, this grisly death is only the start of a chilling string of events. Now all the races who once lived peacefully together in the hollow are beginning to turn on each other. Everything she once believed is challenged, and nothing will ever be the same again. With her world flipped upside down, Daphne is left with no choice other than to fight to protect herself and her young daughters as the dark legend of her town's origins are revealed to be horrifyingly true.
