A fixer-upper on the turbulent Oregon coast provides the perfect setting for a haunting story about secrets that won’t stay buried.

Sunset Empire
She may be guilty of arson,
but she didn’t kill
the burned girl haunting her.
Set in Astoria, Oregon, this young adult novel combines history and legend in a haunting story about monsters, family loyalty, and the city’s underground labyrinth.
“Sometimes it’s hard to tell the monsters from the heroes. Sunset Empire is a fun, creepy, Pacific Northwest fantasy to be enjoyed by young adults and adults alike.”
-Lisa Reid, Lucy’s Books

“5 Stars. I made the mistake of finishing the book within two days. I should have made it last a little bit longer because it’s the kind of story whose characters grow on you. You start to feel as if you live in their world and when you finish the book it is the classic feeling of loss that every reader experiences upon finishing a really good book.” — Readers’ Favorite
