The Custos Series
**books should be read in order for spoiler issue**
The history of the world, past, present, and future, resides in the pages of a single book. It is handed to the next Keeper every thirty years on Mardi Gras Day. The book only remains constant for the chosen. For anyone else, their world will change if they touch it.
Book of Change (Book 2)
Urban Fantasy Suspense
Adelia Hemstock’s tenure as Keeper cannot end fast enough.
She’s been looking over her shoulder since day one and she’s sure she
recognizes a few faces in the crowd now. When the book is taken from the safest
place she knows, Adelia comes face to face with a new reality, and her Custos.
She’s been looking over her shoulder since day one and she’s sure she
recognizes a few faces in the crowd now. When the book is taken from the safest
place she knows, Adelia comes face to face with a new reality, and her Custos.
Rourke Templest has secretly guarded the book, and Adelia, for more than half
of her lifetime. In the wrong place at the wrong time, the book is taken on his
watch and he must emerge from the shadows to reclaim it, or get Adelia to New
Orleans and secured. If White Diamond has the book, they absolutely cannot have
the only person currently able to read it.
The feisty Keeper Rourke has only known from a distance until now, is a
complication to the job that must be done. With only forty-eight hours to act,
Adelia’s world turns upside down as they race to recover the book leaving a
trail of murder, conspiracy, cover up, and chaos in their wake.
Can they recover it in time? Not even the Keeper knows.Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Book-Change-Custos-Savannah-Verte-ebook/dp/B01J6WB48O/

Author Bio:
A lifelong lover of words and reading, Savannah Verte hasn’t quite figured out what she wants to write when she grows up. Born and raised in the upper Midwest, Savannah’s gypsy spirit and never quit attitude keep her busy and seldom idle. For so many reasons, Savannah considers herself a ‘Contemporary Vagabond’ when it comes to writing and hopes that others find her diverse offerings as enjoyable to read as they are to write.
As the primary owner and driving force behind Eclectic Bard Books she considers herself immensely fortunate to see writing from varied perspectives as she endeavors to publish the authors rostered there. Working with other writers, Savannah gets to expand her horizons every day as someone brings a new idea to the table and the brainstorming begins. There is something addictive about the creative process for her and helping other authors embrace their dreams make hers a reality daily.
That’s the official Savannah, the unofficial version is just a girl who loves experiencing life with every twist and turn it takes. When she was born, she had such fine, light hair that her mother used to tape bows to her head so people would know she was a girl. She’s had a host of crazy unrelated jobs- everything from cake decorator, dry cleaner, and insurance agent to Emergency Room assistant, bartender, crime lab tech and bouncer. Savannah loves air hockey but completely sucks at it. She loves good jazz, good scotch, and antiques but also old rock, a quiet tea, and a tidy home. She’s completely technology impaired and can get it after she’s broken the computer or done it ass-backwards a few times… Thank Gods that there are some amazing meme creators that let her pilfer images or she’d be lost. Lime green is her color, the rhinoceros is her logo & philosophy, and she’s completely mad about seeing new authors try.

The main character, Evelyn (Evie) Lockhart is definitely not a wallflower. She is smart, clever, and strong. Although some of her choices are questionable, and I’ll admit they left me feeling a little uneasy reading through. Despite that, I was so glad to read all the way in one sitting, and found the ending truly satisfying.
This book had me up until 2am in the morning! I could not put it down. The whole book was littered with language from the 1920’s which makes me want to bring it back! With settings like the speakeasy, to sayings like “spifflicated” (something I’ve certainly done on the weekends past), this book is a delightful insight into a woman who is faced with adversity in a time when men ruled, and women kept quiet…until Evelyn Lockhart came along. Much more than a love story.
