So far I've only read two of Theo Fenraven's books, A Silence Kept and The Haunted Maze. They were both perfect Halloweentime reading. I've heard amazing things about many of his other works and I look forward to checking them out myself in the, hopefully, not-to-distant future.

Sky has secrets. Like, she’s got a Y chromosome and the original equipment to go with it. Like being a highly paid escort. Like, if Zach is seen with her in public, it could ruin his career. Like someone becoming so obsessed with Sky, that obsession threatens them both.
