How to Score at a Crime Scene

Being sent to investigate a murder scene in the middle of the night in December by your sadistic fairy kingpin of a boss? Not ideal.

Running into the shifter hottie you fell in lust with back in August while investigating said murder? A silver lining, at the very least.

Leveraging that meeting into an impromptu detective partnership and maybe even a date or two? Well, tonight is looking up already.

Too bad neither Nat nor his cute new boyfriend seem to be any good at solving murder mysteries.

A quick-burn romance meets a slow-burn mystery adventure that would have Nancy Drew leaving some scathing Yelp reviews. This 100k urban fantasy novel has a HFN ending, and is the first in a planned series of linked adventures about a relentlessly enthusiastic mage, his soft and snarky shifter partner, and their ever-growing cast of family members (found and otherwise) who end up joining along for the ride.

The Official Account of Cedar Delafonte's Week from the Seven Hells

In the last twenty-four hours, Cedar has become unemployed (solidly in the pros column), unhoused (a mixed bag, if she's being totally honest), and the babysitter for a newly raised mare with no idea what a cell phone is and no concept of personal space (not her idea of a fun Friday night).

As if all that weren't enough, J's cute ditz of a platonic life partner doesn't seem to want to leave either of them well enough alone.

Oh, and did she mention the immensely powerful and potentially fatal spell living under her skin and burning through her magic? No?

At least the week can only get better from here. Surely.
