Welcome to Kotahi Bay! When Alyssa returns to the Bay for her Gran’s funeral, she finds herself in possession of the house of her dreams and, apparently, a centuries old ghost itching to escape its bonds. Still, the house has given her an escape route from a dead end job and a nasty break-up, so perhaps dealing with a ghost might be worth it. But between the residents who think she should step into her Gran's role as the town witch, a suspiciously nosy neighbour, and increasingly threatening occurrences around the house, Alyssa must decide whether this new home is worth it, or whether it's safer to leave the Bay for good.

Melody is running away again, but this time she can’t hide from the truth. Melody had found a safe place with Robbie, at least she’d thought so. When it turns out he’s been abusing her, she taps into powers she’d convinced herself only existed in her imagination and escapes. On the run again, she heads to the only other home she’s had - her estranged family in Kotahi Bay. Noah can taste the magic emanating from Melody the moment he meets her, but he’s tempted by more than just that. She might be sarcastic and quick to bite, but he can see the raw vulnerability beneath and can’t help but be drawn to her. The only problem is that he’s got secrets too, and if he lets them slip she’ll never trust him again. Betrayed and isolated, Melody must accept the truth of what she is, and harness the power of the wind before Robbie destroys her family, and her life. The Way the Sky Curves is the first book in the gripping Kotahi Bay series by J.C. Hart.
