HOW THE DEAD LIE
By Stacey Rourke
Series: Havenwood Falls
Genre: Supernatural Mystery
Release Date: October 26, 2018
Cover Design: Regina Wamba, MaeIDesign.com
Welcome to the secluded mountain town of Havenwood Falls, home to sexy men, strong women, and neighbors who bite. Discover supernatural mystery, thrills, and romance in a place where everyone has a deep, dark, and often deadly secret.
Haunted by a horrifying past, Octavia Hollows has lived her life on the move. Like all supernatural beings, when she crosses into Havenwood Falls, she sets off the town’s
protective wards. Unlike with most, the officials take immediate action, recognizing
her as the powerful necromancer who, as a child, raised the dead in a gruesome public spectacle. Still, they give Octavia a chance. Ninety days probation. No dark magic.
Achieve that, and she will be granted residency. They even secure employment for
her at Pyntz’s Butcher Shoppe.
A necromancer working in a butcher shop. What could possibly go wrong?
Just when she settles in and begins opening up to the possibility of a forever home,
Octavia discovers a dead body stuffed in the shop’s meat freezer. He’s nude. He
looks like a cover model. And now, thanks to Octavia momentarily losing control
of her abilities, he’s alive … again.
Fearing someone would go so far as to kill to drive her out of Havenwood Falls,
Octavia teams up with Willie, the resurrected hottie, to solve the mystery of his
murder. They must work fast, though, before more corpses appear. Otherwise,
Octavia could find herself booted from town along with an army of raised undead.

REVIEW
As a fan of the Havenwood Falls Collective, I am stoked to see that Rourke is a part of the HF Family. No matter the genre or character, Stacey Rourke instills a piece of herself into each. I love her affinity for a strong female MC who is smart, witty, and badass. Octavia Hollows, of How The Dead Lie, is all that and a necromancer to boot. I love her snarkiness, quick wit, and sass. To top it off, she brings back a nude guy she finds in the freezer, whom she affectionately names Willie. If you aren't peeing in your pants from laughing too hard right now, then this book is not for you. This laugh out loud addition to the HF family is definitely in my Top 5. Even if you are new to HF Collective, you do not need to read them in order. Rourke fans will find that this novella is classic Stacey.

This was my first glimpse into Havenwood Falls. I knew if I started with one of Stacey's I would love it. I was right! This town is so magical, I have to have more.
Back to THIS book. Octavia is a hoot, yes she has her struggles, and a rough start to life but she makes the best out of it. Guy, oh goodness how could you not like him! I can't wait to see how her story turns out! Yes it ended in a bit of a cliffy.
