Awaiting the Moon's Return in the Southern City

Eve Thompson found herself waking up in the bed of S City's most eligible bachelor with his arm around her waist, but she only had her mother's words in her mind. "Make sure nobody finds out you're disguised as your sister," she told her, looking at the fake birthmark drawn with makeup on her remaining daughter's face. "You have to get Mr. Charlie to marry you, everything we have depends on it!" said she. It was a shame, for the man beside him closely resembled the man she'd lost many years ago. Anthony Charlie's favor with women was notoriously hard to gain, but in a drunken stupor, he crawled under the sheets with the woman beside her, enticed by the memory of someone he'd lost long ago that this woman resembled. However, she never had a birthmark. It could never be her. Was their encounter coincidental? What would their hidden past reveal!? Join Eve Thompson on her exciting journey of courtship and political espionage as she steps into the shoes of her twin sister's now-abandoned life and tries to save her family by winning the heart of the mysterious bachelor, Anthony Charlie!

Her dad's a demon. And she just wants to be ordinary. I batted at the curl of smoke drifting off the tip of my candle and tried not to sneeze. My heavy velvet cloak fell in oppressive, suffocating folds in the closed space of the ceremony chamber, the cowl trapping the annoying bits of puff I missed. I hated the way my eyes burned and teared, an almost constant distraction. Not that I didn't welcome the distraction, to be honest. Anything to take my mind from what went on around me. Being part of a demon raising is way less exciting than it sounds. Sydlynn Hayle's teen life couldn't be more complicated. Trying to please her coven is all a fantasy while the adventure of starting over in a new town and fending off a bully cheerleader who hates her are just the beginning of her troubles. What to do when delicious football hero Brad Peters--boyfriend of her cheer nemesis--shows interest? If only the darkly yummy witch, Quaid Moromond, didn't make it so difficult for her to focus on fitting in with the normal kids despite her paranormal, witchcraft laced home life. Add to that her crazy grandmother's constant escapes driving her family to the brink and Syd's between a rock and a coven site. Forced to take on power she doesn't want to protect a coven who blames her for everything, only she can save her family's magic. If her family's distrust doesn't destroy her first.

Some of the best contemporary southern gothic novels include 'True Grit' by Charles Portis. It has a strong sense of place in the American South and features a feisty young girl seeking justice. Then there's 'The Secret History' by Donna Tartt. Although not strictly set in the South, it has elements of southern gothic such as the sense of a closed - off community, secrets, and a sense of impending doom among the characters. Also, 'The Color Purple' by Alice Walker, which portrays the lives of African - American women in the South, dealing with abuse, love, and finding one's voice, and it has a touch of the otherworldly in its storytelling.

Look for elements like a strong sense of place in the South. If the novel vividly describes the landscapes, the small towns, the swamps, or the big plantations, it's a good start. Also, complex and often flawed characters are typical. They might be dealing with family secrets, past traumas, or social outcasts. The use of the supernatural or the grotesque is another sign. For example, if there are ghosts, strange happenings, or characters with abnormal physical or mental features. If the story delves into themes such as race, class, and the decay of the old South, it's likely a southern gothic novel.

Well, 'To Kill a Mockingbird' is definitely among the top. It shows the innocence and prejudice in a southern town through the eyes of a child. Then there's Flannery O'Connor's 'Wise Blood'. Her works often have a dark and grotesque element that is characteristic of southern gothic. Also, 'Beloved' by Toni Morrison, while not strictly a traditional southern gothic, has elements of it, like the haunting past and the complex relationships within the black community in the South.
