Dark Gossip
(2026)(The fourth book in the Cordelia Rose Paranormal Mystery series)
A novel by Mara Webb
Dangerous gossip. A reporter digging for answers. The dead walking the streets.
Welcome back to Brackenlake.
After a string of unusual incidents, Brackenlake has finally attracted some unwanted attention. A national news reporter has arrived in town, convinced there’s something strange going on—and determined to uncover the truth.
Cordelia would rather she didn’t.
It begins with gossip. Strange stories are spreading around town, passed from neighbor to neighbor and growing a little more outlandish with every telling. Most of them are easy enough to dismiss.
Until they start coming true.
Before long, people aren’t merely repeating the rumors. They believe them. And with every new whisper, Brackenlake becomes a little stranger and a lot more dangerous. Cordelia needs to discover where the gossip is coming from, but investigating is difficult when nobody can agree on what happened—and reality keeps changing before her eyes.
If that weren’t enough, Cordelia finds herself indebted to a local coven. It turns out they aren’t merely a group of harmless witches meeting in the woods. Magic runs old and deep through the West Virginia wilderness, and the coven knows far more about it than Cordelia ever imagined.
Something odd is happening to Elias, too. He’s distracted, secretive, and behaving even more mysteriously than usual. Cordelia knows he''s keeping something from her. The only question is whether he’s in trouble—or whether he might be part of it.
Then people start claiming they’ve seen the dead walking through Brackenlake.
That might be nothing more than another rumor. But with whispered stories turning into fact, everyone in town may need to start being careful what they say.
With a determined reporter closing in and Brackenlake changing with every careless word, can Cordelia uncover the truth before the latest piece of gossip becomes deadly?
Dark Gossip is a paranormal mystery with action, comedy, and a small town full of secrets. It features a standalone plot and can be read on its own.
Genre: Urban Fantasy
