Curses and Other Buried Things

Her family’s secrets might literally drown her.

Susana Prather wants one thing: to avoid becoming like the mother who abandoned her, no matter the cost. But when her eighteenth birthday triggers a generational curse, prompting Susana to sleepwalk into the Okefenokee Swamp behind her grandparents’ house, she realizes the roots of her family tree run deeper than she believed . . .

And they won’t let her go without a fight.

To put a stop to the sleepwalking, Susana must reckon with her history and its monsters before they ravage her small town. But in a world where people are both the cursed and the cursers, can she really move beyond her past?
