Loralei

Residents had long forgotten the shocking events of the summer of 1972. Until someone moved into Old Lady Ketchel's derelict home on 33 Tailings Way. It had been 25 years since Old Lady Ketchel's reign of terror ended, and the Slaughter family and empire met its fiery end. Enough time for residents to purge the town of the Slaughter monarchy, and any vestige of the family's past influence or existence. Or so they thought. Little did they know that Enoch Slaughter, Jr. had fathered a baby boy with a teenage stripper just before his demise. Then there was Karen Garber and her baby Loralei, thought to be the product of her marriage to Enoch Slaughter IV. However, Karen knew the truth, which she took with her when she and Loralei fled Slaughter for greener pastures. But now, Loralei was a young adult with questions about the identity of her birth father. Something her mother vowed never to divulge. So when Loralei returned to what used to be Slaughter and moved into the ramshackle eyesore that had been Old Lady Ketchel's home, residents became nervous. It had stood vacant and neglected for a quarter of a century. Not because the townspeople hadn't thought to bulldoze it and create a nice, quiet green space. It's just that every time a demolition crew stepped foot onto the property, some tragedy would befall them. Eventually, they gave up trying to rid the town of the one last remnant from Slaughter's tumultuous past. Why had Loralei moved back to town and into Old Lady Ketchel's house? Would she come to some misfortune, like the demolition crews? Or was her distant connection to the town's chaotic past a harbinger of calamities to come? Loralei's Siren Song is a sequel to the Slaughter Minnesota horror series. Just when you thought the chaos was over!

Loralei is released from the psychiatric hospital and resumes her deadly mission. But a family secret goes public, jeopardizing her mission and life. Armed with more potent powers, Loralei returns home to Grand Rapids, eager to find and eliminate any remaining male descendants of the Slaughter family. However, her target remains elusive, and with every step forward, setbacks seem to force her to take two steps back. But the greatest threat to Loralei's mission and life arises when the secret of her lineage goes public. A secret that Loralei wasn't even aware of. Descended from someone so evil and repulsive that Loralei, the hunter, suddenly becomes the hunted. Meanwhile, David and Lena overcome a series of obstacles and finally open Kennedy's Sportsman's Paradise. But all is not well in paradise. David, Lena, and David's mother have been harboring explosive secrets of their own. Will the corrosive nature of secrets sink the success of David's resort? And will the unshakeable burden of Loralei's loathsome lineage be her death sentence? Or will she overcome the crisis and finally complete Hagatha Ketchel's crusade to rid the world of Slaughter descendants? Find the answers in Loralei's Secret Lineage, the second book in a sequel to the Slaughter Minnesota horror series.

The tragic events of November 10 were crushing, driving Loralei and David's orbits onto a collision course. Something had to give. Who would prevail? Guilt and grief overwhelmed Loralei. She never wanted to sing again, and suicide seemed like her best option. But slowly, with the help of her trusty four-legged companion, and the otherworldly guidance of her Oma, she persevered. Recapturing the motivation to complete her deadly mission. David's grief only made him more ruthless and determined to restore the Slaughter name to prominence and power. Even if it meant going to war with the community that had tried to erase his family from the history books. He would build a resort empire and leave a lasting legacy by taking a page out of his father's playbook. What will happen when two titans, both descended from cold-blooded monsters, butt heads? Will Loralai finally succeed in her mission to bury the last remaining Slaughter descendant? Or will David restore his family name, build an empire, and leave progeny to continue to carry out the Slaughter birthright? Find the answers in Loralei's Final Furor, the third book in the sequel to the Slaughter Minnesota horror series.
