The River Reed Adventures

Series Description:

River Reed has a nose for trouble, and being a werewolf makes it hard to ignore.

From the shadowy Louisiana bayou to family trips filled with unexpected discoveries, River finds mysteries wherever he goes. Restless spirits, strange legends, and secrets hidden in unlikely places draw him and his friends into adventures that take courage, clever thinking, and occasionally a very good sense of smell.

But even sharp claws and heightened senses can’t solve every problem. River must learn when to trust his instincts, when to ask for help, and when the scariest creature might be the one who needs a friend.

The River Reed Adventures blends spooky mysteries, humor, friendship, and supernatural surprises for readers ages 9–12. Every adventure opens the door to something extraordinary.

The Halloween Mask Mystery: Book One:

Some masks hide faces. Others hide secrets.

Twelve-year-old werewolf River Reed loves a good adventure, especially when there's a mystery to solve. But when he and his father purchase a mysterious chest of antique masks from a New Orleans shop just before his pack's Halloween party, River senses an uneasy chill about one of them—a warning he chooses to ignore.

Then he meets Julien, a lonely boy who seems to appear out of nowhere. As Halloween night approaches, River's excitement turns to terror when the masks unleash an ancient enchantment, sending an innocent game spiraling into chaos. When children begin disappearing into the dark swamp, River must rely on his courage, his friends, and his extraordinary werewolf instincts to uncover the truth.

But some secrets have been waiting a very long time to be discovered, and a heartbreaking truth lies just beneath the surface. Can River solve the mystery and save his friends before Halloween night is over?

A spooky, heartwarming adventure filled with friendship, mystery, and a little Halloween magic. Perfect for readers ages 9–12.
