The Coven on Cedar Lane

Description

The Stepford Wives meets Supernatural in this darkly comedic horror romance that will keep you turning pages late into the night. When Claire Parker moves her family to the pristine suburb of Cedar Lane, she expects the usual challenges: nosy neighbors, HOA regulations, and helping her teenager adjust to a new school. What she doesn't expect is a homeowners association with a disturbing obsession with perfection, mysterious "special committee" meetings, and a leather-clad neighbor who claims to hunt supernatural threats for a living. As her marketing executive husband David becomes increasingly entangled with the seductive HOA president Evelyn Whitmore, Claire finds herself drawn to Margaret—the neighborhood's black sheep who lives in the only non-beige house on the street. Between Margaret's arsenal of medieval weapons and her taxidermied raven in tiny leather pants, Claire begins to suspect her new neighbor's claims about monster hunting might not be as crazy as they sound. When residents start disappearing and Claire discovers a journal detailing decades of "community improvements," she realizes Cedar Lane's perfect lawns and synchronized sprinklers hide something far more sinister than overzealous landscaping. With her marriage crumbling and her son falling for a rebellious local girl who's uncovered the HOA's darkest secrets, Claire must choose between the safety of ignorance and the dangerous truth lurking beneath suburban perfection. A wickedly funny blend of domestic drama, supernatural horror, and steamy romance that asks: What would you sacrifice for the perfect neighborhood? Perfect for fans of Grady Hendrix, Chuck Wendig, and anyone who's ever wondered what really goes on behind those pristine HOA facades. Content Warning: This novel contains mature themes, supernatural horror elements, and steamy romantic scenes. Intended for adult readers.
