The Devil's Sanctuary 

When Mark, an average high school student, runs into difficulties in dealing with his parents, his friend Josh, a depressed loner, persuades him to run away. Together with several other runaways, they head for Safe Haven Inn, a supposed sanctuary in the mountains near a town called Natas. Mark and his companions meet Elliot, who owns the Inn, and go to live with him. Later, they learn that Elliot was originally a Native American renegade leader who entered into a pact with the Devil in order to seek revenge on the children of their white oppressors. When Mark realizes the danger he is in, he tries to save his friends and narrowly escapes being killed by the evil Elliot. He wakes up in a hospital, only to find out that his parents and girlfriend are on their way to Natas to find him. Mark must reach deep inside himself to find the courage to return to the Inn and save the people he loves from an unspeakable fate. A compelling blend of horror and suspense leaves the reader spellbound.

Soul Riders 

Chase is a quiet, unassuming guy. His scheming uncles, Edward and Doyle, are not. Obsessed with the notion of achieving immortality and bringing their dead father from the grave, the two uncles discover a formula that enables them to "ride" other peoples' souls back and forth between Heaven and Hell. Soon drifters start turning up dead and large sums of money go missing. But when Edward and Doyle's plans backfire, Chase isn't prepared for what happens next. The ancient world collides with modern times and, in the resulting chaos, Chase finds the key to the soul riders. Can he use it to free his lover from impending death? If he wants to see her alive again, he'll have to destroy not one but two immortals.
