In Wilkins, North Carolina, the Avery women were raised on one rule: love ends in grief.

For generations, every woman in the Avery bloodline watched the person she loved most die too soon. Some blamed bad luck. Others whispered about witchcraft, curses, and old sins buried beneath the town’s Harvest traditions. Connie Avery spent her whole life trying not to become the next tragedy.

Then the visions started.

As the annual Harvest Festival approaches, strange magic wakes beneath the Avery house. Bones appear where they shouldn’t. Ghosts walk through dreams. Old enemies stir in the shadows. And when Connie falls for Kellan Ward, the curse begins circling closer than ever before.

Desperate to save the people she loves, Connie and her sisters dig into a century of secrets tied to the powerful Blackstone family, uncovering a horrifying truth: the Avery curse was never fate. It was built. Fed. Protected.

And someone is still keeping it alive.

But breaking a curse written in blood comes with a price. As magic tears through the town and the dead rise to witness the final reckoning, Connie must decide whether love is worth risking everything for…or whether the only way to survive is to finally let go.

Filled with witches, family secrets, forbidden love, ancestral magic, haunted bloodlines, and a fierce sisterhood at its heart, Blood and Pumpkins is a dark paranormal romance about grief, legacy, and choosing love anyway.
