Books 4 and 5 in the award-winning Secrets of Redemption Series: The Summoning and The Reckoning.

2020 PRG Reviewers’ Choice Award First Place Winner for Best Book (The Summoning)

It all started so innocently. Charlie only stopped in Redemption, Wisconsin, because she was lost.

She never meant to stay.

She never meant to fall in love.

She never meant to bring the danger she was running from into this wholesome midwestern town.

Except Redemption had some secrets of its own … and they were even more deadly than what she was trying to escape.

Praise for It Began With a Lie

“This book grabs your attention slowly and then ramps up the intensity until your spine tingles and you aren’t sure what to tell Becca – run or stay? Who can she trust?”

Paranormal Romance Guild

Michele Pariza Wacek carries the reader along on this journey, which has twists and turns to the very last page. Her characters become friends, some you want to spend more time with and some you come to despise. She casts a spell that will keep you enthralled. A can’t miss novel from a dynamic author. 5 stars! 

The International Review of Books

On the surface, Wacek employs all the devices of a standard haunted-house story full of ghosts and supernatural possessions. But her principal plot is also entangled with a mystery, family secrets, and a character study of a woman reconciling with her past that unveils before her eyes. Wacek’s ambitious story is made more complex with layers of subplots that subtly build up the overall suspense. … The different storylines working together make sense, since not all is fully resolved, and this is the first of a planned series of books. As you read, waiting to see what happens next, you may be surprised by how it ends.

Praise for This Happened to Jessica

“You will love it. Oh but don’t turn the lights out…or stay overnight alone while reading this one.”

Paranormal Romance Guild

Praise for The Evil That was Done

“We can only hope there is another EVIL series lurking somewhere in our future – if we can stand the suspense and survive the wait….but I recommend not venturing into any old basements or locked rooms while you wait!”
