Below are the books in "The Hopps Town Series".
Jared, Jessica, and Adrian seem like your typical high schoolers, but each harbors a secret that gnaws at their souls.
Jared is struggling for acceptance from his disapproving mother as a gay teen while enduring the relentless torment of a bully. Adrian is crushed under the weight of his father's impossible expectations as he conceals a forbidden crush. Jessica, trapped in a nightmare with her abusive, alcoholic mother, dreams of escape but finds no solace.
Then, one frigid night, the trio stumbles upon an ancient wishing well, its ominous aura drawing them in. With eyes closed and hearts burdened, they each make a wish half-heartedly but secretly hope for something—anything—different. In a snap, their wishes seem to mysteriously materialize.
But they have no idea they've just awakened something far more sinister than their minds can grasp, and things are about to go horribly wrong!
The Scavenger (Second Edition) is the chilling beginning of the Hopps Town Quadrilogy, where every wish comes at a deadly price.
Jared, having once triumphed over a ruthless demon, believes he’s ready for anything. But as he settles back into the familiarity of home for a well-deserved college break, an unexpected visitor shatters his confidence—a ghost, not of malice but of warning, leaves him with a cryptic message of impending doom.
Elsewhere in town, Zane and Reggie find their lives upended as strange and unsettling supernatural events gnaw at their sanity. As the haunting intensifies, they quickly realize with mounting dread that whatever haunts them isn’t merely toying with them—it’s out for blood.
But why now? And why them?
When Jessica Barlow finds a knife plunged into her pillow after having a dark, sinister dream, she quickly realizes that it is more than a figment of her imagination. She reaches out to her long-time psychic friend Jared Duval. When Jared makes contact with the knife, he has a vision of a horrific car accident that leaves a woman lifeless at the side of the road.
Jessica and Jared now have to do whatever it takes to uncover the truth and put an end to the mayhem clouding their lives. But what they don’t know is that the spirit has joined forces with the malevolent demon, Malik, seeking vengeance on the people who left her for dead – and these people are closer to Jessica than she thinks.
Will they be able to defeat a vicious demon and a vengeful spirit before things take a turn for the worst?
What other darkness lurks in the shadows?
