Fast cars. Outlaw country boys. Snarky werewolves, vengeful ghosts, and menacing monsters.

Dawson King’s family has been hunting things that go bump in the night in Transylvania County, North Carolina, since before the Revolutionary War.

Dawson was never happier than when he was racing his souped-up Mustang along winding mountain roads and hunting monsters with his best friend, Grady. Then Grady fell in love with him, which should have been perfect since Dawson had already fallen hard for Grady.

But Grady was only seventeen, and Dawson feared that sooner or later, Grady would realize his feelings were just a first crush, and then he’d be gone, leaving Dawson devastated. They both needed space to figure things out. So Dawson joined the army, while Grady stayed on the mountain.

Four years later, Dawson is coming home. He’s more sure than ever Grady is his forever love, and they’ve both agreed to begin this new aspect of their relationship as soon as Dawson gets back.

Then Grady’s father is killed in a werewolf hunt gone wrong. Grady is devastated, and he’s throwing mixed signals about moving forward. Dawson knows he needs to hold off on this new thing between them until Grady has time to grieve. But monsters never sleep, and one hunt after another throws Dawson and Grady into constant danger, while tension and unresolved feelings ripple between them.

Making it even harder, Dawson’s got a secret. He’s dreamed of death omens—which point to something stalking Grady. Can Dawson figure out who’s trying to kill Grady, save his life, and win back his heart?

Plenty of mutual pining, hurt/comfort, spooky chills, sexy thrills, and a very happy ending. The Kings of the Mountain is the first novel in the series.

Why I Love Ghost Stories By Morgan Brice

I’ve loved ghost stories since I was a kid. They were always a shivery kind of fun that made me scared in all the right ways. I read all the books about ghosts at the library, and I’m always looking for good new regional books when I travel.

Some people say that ghost stories are how we collectively remember people who weren’t important for the history books but who held a notable place—for good or bad—in local memory. I think there’s some truth to that—a lot of people who become the ghosts in the tales aren’t wealthy or powerful. Some of the stories are cautionary tales, warnings not to wander around a night or accept rides from strangers or pick up hitchhikers. And some I think were built for the sheer love of scaring the pants of people around a campfire.

I also enjoy seeing how the kernel of a story—like a Woman in White or a Phantom Hitchhiker—gets changed from place to place over the years. Many of these stories have been around for a long time because something speaks to us about them and we don’t want to let them go.

I love ghost stories for all those reasons, and because it’s fun to scare myself when I know I’m safe at home with the lights on and the doors locked! What are your favorite scary stories?
