The latest release

A pandemic, worldwide darkness. And then her boyfriend disappeared. It had been a rough morning, even by her standards.

Charlie Kensal is still reeling from loss when an unexplained darkness falls over North Dakota. As chaos spreads, she escapes the farm with rugged rancher Nick Miller, but fate, and her husband Richard, pull her back into the shadows.

Meanwhile, Kimber Nilsen, a nurse during the pandemic, is afraid of the dark. Her boyfriend, Jordan Lange's mysterious dissapearance provides a chance encounter with Sheriff Deputy, Connor Maher. The quest to find Jordan takes her deep into a world of good and evil, distorted reality, and Kimber finds out the darkness brings out dangerous ideas and hive-minded reality.

Survival, love, and betrayal collide in this haunting continuation of The Dark Days Series.

Meet Hazel Mattice

Hazel grew up on a North Dakota farm back when hair was big, shoulder pads were in, and imagination was everything. When her dad threw out the TV, she found stories instead and never stopped writing them.

Her novels blend real people, raw emotion, and a little imagination into stories that feel lived-in. Each one starts with a spark from everyday life, a dinner table conversation, a small town moment, or something she just can’t shake.
