    Black Clouds
    by Jodie Cain Smith

    When monsters come for your kid, you go after the monsters.

    Jules wants nothing more than to recover from the injuries sustained during her captivity and to live peacefully with her family, but in Bellefontaine, wishes are rarely granted.

    With her former captor missing and new threats on the horizon, Jules sense of peace and relief is shattered.

    The Knights may be down, but they are heading back up to come for Jules through the ones she loves.

    And they are aiming directly at the one she loves the most...

    Book two of Jodie Cain Smith's Brackish Waters Series goes back to Bellefontaine and back into the storm's mouth in BLACK CLOUDS.
