The Book of Shadows Collection
Step into a world of dark magic, fierce women, and terrifying evil.
The first three novels in the best-selling Book of Shadows series of historical horror and suspense are collected here in one spine-chilling volume. Let these spine-tingling novels transport you to another time and place, delving into the darkest corners of the past, where the line between the living and the dead is blurred
Book 1: All Hallows Eve: One hundred years after the Salem witch trials, a single mother races against time to rescue her daughter from the vengeful spirit of a woman hanged for witchcraft. Desperate to find her child before the sun rises and she is lost forever, Alice Jacobs embarks on a spine-chilling adventure that takes her from forgotten dungeons and gloomy cemeteries to the haunted forests of Gallows Hill. Along with a roguish sailor searching for his own missing child, she battles deadly supernatural forces and uncovers a dark secret that may be the key to saving her daughter's soul... if only she can survive the most terrifying night of her life.
Book 2: The Suicide Lake : Abigail Jacobs is a ghost-hunting witch. Haunted by a tragic past, she also drinks, swears, and has questionable relationships with unsavory men. For years she has maintained her secret, living a double-life as a schoolteacher in a posh 19th-century Boston neighborhood. But when her estranged sister arrives on her doorstep begging for help, Abigail must use her skills in the occult to defeat a terrifying evil that is driving the residents of a remote logging village to take their own lives. Drawn into an unlikely partnership with a roguish lumberjack, an ex-lover, and a young pastor, she uncovers a dark secret that could be the key to the village's salvation. But the superstitious villagers don't take well to Abigail's unusual methods. Time is running short, and if she doesn't work quickly, she could very well be hanged by the same people she is trying to save.
Book 3: The Wolf Society : Most mothers tell their children there are no such things as monsters. Abigail Jacobs taught her daughter how to kill them. Raised to be a monster-hunting occultist, Anna Jacobs now wants nothing more than to escape her life of blood and violence before it’s too late. But when women begin disappearing from a bustling lakefront village, the pair find themselves pitted against their most bloodthirsty adversaries yet. Together, mother and daughter uncover an unholy secret society and a terrifying plot threatening the lives of the village children. It will take all of their skill and cunning to survive, but as the deadly night unfolds, Anna is forced to confront the chilling truth that the most dangerous evil she faces might actually lie within her.

Heart-stopping Reading
This collection by Michael Penning was almost impossible to put down!! It immersed me totally in every aspect of the story and its characters, so much so that I felt I was there myself. Definitely edge of the seat reading, and I was sorry to get to the end.

Good read
The characters, and story held my attention throughout all three books. Only complaint would be descriptive paragraphs became to long and repetitive but otherwise worth the read

I absolutely loved the setting authenticity and feel of the world. It adds to the characters and Im glad the adventures are self contained modules instead of one long string of events.
