The Crane Diaries Apryl Baker

Secrets. Emma Rose Crane thought she left all that behind in North Carolina, but she can't escape them. She was robbed of her childhood memories and the protections she was born with, making her human body vulnerable to the superhuman gifts she'd inherited. But why? It's just another secret she must unravel. But it's not only her secrets she's dealing with. Her friend and fellow hunter, Cass Willow, has asked her to help him find out who his father is, but also exactly what he is, as Cass has discovered he's not quite human. However, the fallout from the truth may destroy them all. And then there's Kristoff-the psychotic vampire who seems to think she's his shiny new toy. To get to him, they must unravel the mysteries of Madame's island in the middle of the bayou, and for that, they need help. Saidie Walker always knew she'd return to the island where she learned what it was to be a Necromancer, but she never thought it would be so soon. Kristoff is forcing her hand. He's the one thing that truly terrifies her, but she must face him not only to save Emma, but get justice for all the women he's murdered since she killed Madame and set him free. She blames herself for their deaths and will do everything in her power to stop him. But she's not sure she can do it alone. Together, she hopes she and Emma can finally put an end to his reign of terror.
