Dead Welcome.

The hotel has been fully renovated. The original charm is untouched. Alex is already worried.

Uncle Martin's invitation said the Overlook Grand Hotel was ready for its soft opening. All expenses covered. Family only. The original charm, he promised, was untouched.

Alex Smith, who has been scratched, concussed, and generally traumatized by the last property his uncle described that way, packs his equipment anyway. A haunted hotel with a sealed floor, mirrors that catch the wrong light, and a history that doesn't quite add up is not a family weekend. It's a case.

What Alex and his cousin Sam find inside the Overlook Grand goes deeper than standard haunted-building phenomena. The history of this place has layers - and the closer they get to the center of it, the more it becomes clear that whatever is in this hotel has been here a very long time, and it has been waiting with a purpose.

Dead Welcome is the second book in Hunter's Tales - darker in tone and higher in stakes than Book 1, built around a haunting with a history and a ghost with a grievance. For readers who want atmosphere, dread, and the kind of mystery that only gets more unsettling the more you understand it.
