Dead Souls Series by Amy Cross

When she arrives on the remote island of Thaxos, Kate thinks she's going to enjoy a relaxing holiday. Instead, she quickly learns that thaxos is ruled by a mysterious family known as the Le Comptes. And the head of that family, Edgar Le Compte, has just returned after spending many years away. Soon, Kate finds herself drawn into a world of passion, horror and deadly intrigue. And along the way, she begins to learn that her arrival on Thaxos might not have been an accident.

As Kate learns more about Edgar Le Compte, she begins to realize that his hold over the island stretches back much further into history than she'd ever imagined. Even when he tries to win the locals over, however, Edgar ends up alienating the local population. Soon, a plot is forming. If Edgar won't leave Thaxos alone, there are people who are willing to force him away, even if that means ending his life. Dark forces are closing in, but Edgar refuses to budge... moreAs Kate learns more about Edgar Le Compte, she begins to realize that his hold over the island stretches back much further into history than she'd ever imagined.
