Crossroads -

. .

Résumé :
Seventy-nine people watched a boy die live on Twitch. It was supposed to be a dare - a late-night livestream inside the abandoned Walker house, a place everyone in Eastland County knew better than to enter. When the floor gave way and the feed went dark, the video vanished within hours. The house did not. Emmy Moore knows the death wasn't an accident. Drawn back to the Walker house by a pull she can't explain, she feels something ancient stirring beneath the rotted floorboards - something that has waited generations to be seen again. Her grandmother warned her to stay away. The land remembers. And the house always takes something in return. With only her instincts - and the fierce loyalty of her one-eyed dog, Patch - Emmy steps into a mystery rooted in blood, buried secrets, and a legacy her family never wanted to pass down. What she finds inside the house will test more than her courage. Because survival demands sacrifice. As the darkness closes in, Emmy must decide what she's willing to lose to save the people she loves. The choice she makes will change her life forever - and leave scars that never fully heal. Crossroads is a gripping standalone supernatural thriller set in rural Texas, blending modern horror, relentless suspense, and emotional stakes that linger long after the final page. Perfect for readers who crave haunted houses, buried legacies, and stories where triumph is earned at a terrible cost....

Sommaire:
Emmy Moore has only been a witch for a year-and now the darkness she was born to face has awakened. Sixteen-year-old Emmy always knew her grandmother was gifted. She even knew witchcraft ran in their bloodline. But knowing a legacy and carrying it are two very different things. Ever since the power passed to her, Emmy has tried to rely on Grandma Julie's guidance... even as the old woman gently reminds her that it's time to stand on her own. When a violent supernatural disturbance erupts at the abandoned Walker house-an event caught on camera and whispered across Eastland County-Emmy can feel the evil calling to her. And she's not the only one who hears it. Drawn together by forces older than any of them, Emmy and two other gifted girls form a sacred sisterhood: Moncerrat, a local girl whose bruja grandmother raised her in powerful Mexican traditions, and Zephia, whose Haitian Creole lineage carries centuries of ancestral magic. Their bond is powerful. Their magic is real. And something in the shadows knows exactly who they are. As Emmy steps deeper into the mystery-guided only by instinct, courage, and Patch, her fiercely loyal one-eyed dog-Sheriff Jason Campbell uncovers evidence of an ancient threat buried beneath the county. Something that has waited. Something hungry. To stop what's coming, Emmy must choose: cling to her grandmother's safety... or take the training wheels off once and for all. A gripping supernatural thriller set in rural Texas, Crossroads can be read entirely on its own-yet it opens the door to a larger, haunting universe. Perfect for fans of Stephen King, Dean Koontz, and small-town paranormal suspense....
