This is an updated cover edition of [9781973774198](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/35115330-buried-in-the-bayou). Our lifestyle, son, doesn’t have room for happily ever after. I know this. My dad drilled it into my head so many times, I used to chant it in my sleep. Then came Jo. She made it impossible to remember the danger of teaching an outsider our secrets. After helping her find peace, I left to keep her safe. Jada and I hit the road to continue our family duty of slaying evil spirits. With another closed case behind us, we head to the Louisiana Bayou to solve a murder and find a missing hunter. But as we dig through the town’s history, we begin to discover this is not a simple haunting. A darker evil is feeding the spirits. As the danger begins to mount, Jo appears in my life again. As much as I want to be with Jo, I must do everything I can to keep her safe. I have to push her away. Before it’s too late.

It had always been the two of them, Jada and her brother Cooper. Taught to hunt ghosts and send them on their way, Jada and Cooper were raised as a team by their mother and father. Now, Jada is on her own. That is until her friend Eliza calls needing her help. On a lake in Maine, apparitions are seen and cries are heard across the smooth water’s surface. Many have died near a small island that sits in the center of the lake. The town claims they were all accidents, but Jada knows better. However, the more she starts to uncover about the town and its dark history, the more her own past begins to catch up with her. And this time, running is not an option.

Cooper and Jada warned me the life of a hunter wasn’t for everyone. There’s a reason only a handful of people, out of the millions across the planet, survive our calling. I believed I would be the exception to the rule. A natural in the art of the hunt. Blinded by my own arrogance, I was hellbent on proving them wrong. At first it was easy. The adrenaline pumping through my veins. The rush of the mystery. It kept me going, constantly moving toward the next case. Until... a wrong move nearly got Cooper killed. Now, we’re alone in the middle of nowhere as unspeakable darkness closes in. I thought I was ready. As it stands, all I want is out. Can I dig deep and channel the strength required to keep us both alive? Or will there be a fatal cost for my mistake? The Award Winning Chindi Series continues with Secrets in the Plains, a gripping page-turner that will leave readers gasping!
