Shade’s To Do List:
– Investigate a haunting
– Find undead crime lord’s stolen book of blackmail
– Survive
An FBI contact comes to Shade for help when a ghostly presence indicates a missing architect with ties to the mob might have been murdered. Even for a village witch recently turned private investigator, it should have been an easy assignment. Show up, look for the ghost, determine if it’s the missing architect.
Easy peasy.
Then an unexpected twist brings a vampire to her doorstep.
A bold thief stole the “reputable businessman’s” little black book of secrets—and he’ll pay a lot more than an FBI consulting fee to get it back.
Powerful suspects make powerful enemies.
Soon the question isn’t whether or not Shade can solve the case—it’s whether or not she can survive it if she does.

Political intrigue is for wizards.
Shade has never agreed with her old mentor’s advice more than she does now.

And they’d better pray Shade finds Dimitri before daddy finds out he’s missing…
After barely surviving Halloween—physically and emotionally—Shade is ready for a distraction. She gets her wish when Dimitri Winters, son of vampiric crime lord, Anton Winters, hires her to look into a disappearance—
His own.

A witch has no business meddling in the affairs of werewolves.
Still…
Witch PI Shade Renard and werewolf Detective Sergeant Liam Osbourne have come a long way since their hostile first attempt to work together. But even in her wildest dreams, Shade never dared to imagine he would ask not only for her supernatural help on a case—but for her to take the lead in the investigation itself.
There’s been a murder on the doorstep of New Moon, the shifter rehabilitation center run by Liam as alpha of the local werewolf pack. The number one suspect has killed once before and gotten away with it. If she’s proven guilty this time—of a murder committed while she was in Liam’s charge—it could be the leverage a rival alpha needs to oust Liam from New Moon, or worse, seize control of the Rocky River pack itself.
A rival alpha like Liam’s vicious patriarch, who arrives eager to remake New Moon in his own violent image.
Solving this murder is about more than bringing a killer to justice. It’s about making sure that Osbourne Sr. doesn’t get the chance to destroy the sanctuary his son has worked so hard to build.
Fortunately, Shade isn’t just a private investigator. She’s a witch.
And she knows how to handle tyrants…
