Port of Lost Souls

All Lola wants is to enjoy life like any normal teenager. But that feels out of reach when she begins to have haunting visions of blood and chaos. Even with her loyal friends-who have stood by her despite her dark vampire past-Lola can't shake the foreboding sense that something wicked is coming. When a mysterious carnival rolls into town and pitches its tents on Duchesne Island, its dazzling lights and hypnotic music seem to cast a strange spell over the population...including Lola's friends. Beneath the carnival's glittering façade lurks something sinister, and Lola knows the charismatic ringmaster isn't what he seems. To save the people she loves, Lola must untangle the dark secrets of the Carnival of Fools. But as her visions grow more terrifying, she realizes the stakes are higher than she ever imagined-and her connection with the Otherworld may be the key to stopping the coming storm.

When Lola Monteux returns to Port Despardoux after a long journey abroad, she brings back more than the fortune she amassed during her vampire past-she carries with her information about an ancient order of demon hunters that has established operations on her island. But home isn't as she left it. Her tight-knit group of friends has unraveled, tensions simmering beneath the surface as grudges threaten to tear them apart. When danger strikes, the group is forced to take refuge in the hidden passageways and servant's quarters beneath Walt Seabourne's sprawling estate. What begins as a fascinating exploration of the mansion's secrets soon spirals into a waking nightmare as they uncover dark truths buried within its walls. Old magic stirs, awakening vengeful forces tied to the estate's tragic history. As the ghostly hauntings grow more perilous, Lola must lead her friends in unraveling a sinister mystery. Someone-or something-is targeting them, and with each new discovery, the stakes rise. But the clock is ticking, and the cost of failure isn't just their friendship-it could be one of their lives.
