The Love of the Dead by Craig Saunders.
Quote:
When Beth Willis, who normally speaks for the deceased, is given a message from a dead medium, she steps beyond her world, into the spirit realm.
D.I. Coleridge is a man marking time, until a call from Beth gives him a lead on an elusive killer who takes trophies from his victims. A killer who walks through both worlds, taking lives. A man with powers no mortal can possess. A man, but something else, too.
If Coleridge and Beth are to survive, they must understand him...but some men cannot be fought. Some creatures cannot be bested.
Death calls on all in time. But if Beth and Coleridge are to win, they have no choice but to call on Death themselves.

Windwalkers by R. Michael Burns.
Quote:
When a nightmarish blizzard drives college students Nick Bookman and Robin Kelley to take shelter in a small-town Minnesota church, they are forced to confront the intimate secret that is tearing their friendship apart. The appearance of another storm refugee, Alicia Morgan, an attractive high school senior and self-described witch, arouses Nick's interest and threatens to strain the old friends' relationship past the shattering point.
Then one of the men trapped in the church disappears in the deep of the night, and his young daughter stumbles in from the storm babbling about monsters. Only Alicia recognizes the creature from the child's tale -- a wendigo, an ancient spirit that embodies the hunger for human flesh.
Soon there is no doubt -- the windwalkers are on the hunt, and the refugees discover that they must fight not only with the menace that haunts the storm, but their own darkest desires. If they cannot control their hungers, their hungers will consume them. Only the strongest hearts among the strange band of storm refugees have any hope of surviving the long blizzard night....
