S1.5 Ep2: BLOOD TIES, a contemporary fantasy novella, by Tarah Benner (chapters 4-6)

Read By The Author with Lindsey Sparks

Welcome to the first inbetween-y season of the Read By The Author podcast, where bestselling fantasy romance author Lindsey Sparks has invited her author buddy, Tarah Benner, to read Blood Ties, the prequel to her small town contemporary fantasy series, Witches of Mountain Shadow.
BLOOD TIES by Tarah Benner
Wesley Pierce just made detective, and he’s at a serious disadvantage. He’s
been drawn into a string of unusual murders committed by a creature that
doesn’t exist. His brother Gabriel knows something he doesn’t: that Wesley’s
killer is a vampire.
Gabriel Pierce is a hunter — a supernatural predator who slays witches and
werewolves. Wesley has no idea what his brother does after dark, but Gabriel
is determined to stake the killer before Wesley gets too close.
WITCHES OF MOUNTAIN SHADOW
The Grimes sisters aren’t normal — even by witches’ standards. For
weeks, Fiona has been having chilling visions of death, and Eleanor sees
restless spirits nearly everywhere she goes. When a string of gruesome
murders rocks their small town, Fiona and the rest of her coven begin to
worry that a fellow witch may be the killer.
Even worse? A witch hunter has just moved in next door, and he suspects
the coven.
