Where the Shadows Linger
(2025)(The third book in the Gospels & Grimoires series)
A novel by Eden Audley
It’s her job to chase monsters, but he’s only interested in chasing her.
Noelle Kinney doesn’t believe in soulmates. She believes in facts, ghosts, and podcast metrics. She was supposed to drive straight through Willow Grove on her way to a cryptid convention in Atlanta—but then her car broke down, the town got weird, and a local mechanic with rough hands and ruinous eyes offered to help.
Beau Ward has lived in Willow Grove his whole life. He knows its rhythms. Its secrets. And from the second he sees Noelle, he knows the truth: the town brought her here. For him.
He doesn’t say it—not at first. But he touches her like he means it. Worships her like he’s waited his whole damn life.
And when she tells him she’s leaving, he just smiles and says, ‘Sure you are.’
Noelle keeps telling herself this is temporary, but the cryptid sightings are getting more frequent. The woods are shifting. The legend of the Shadow Painter is starting to feel a little too real.
And Beau Ward? He’s getting harder to leave by the hour.
Because some towns don’t let you go. Some love stories refuse to end. And some monsters were made for each other.
A Southern romance with spirits, spells, and values in the right damn place, GOSPELS & GRIMOIRES is perfect for fans of THE EX HEX and PRACTICAL MAGIC—but sexier, sharper, and proudly sinful.
Genre: Historical Romance
