My new ability could get me killed. I’m Claire Beckett, the newest detective in Crescent City. And I can see runes around dead bodies. Life would be perfect if I didn’t have to deal with the werewolf mayor and finding out that my mother lied to me about her ties to this place. Bodies are dropping throughout the city, similar to a group of cold cases I’ve found. The killer’s ready to kill again and if history has anything to do with it, he’ll continue to hunt until he’s had his revenge. But the more we keep digging, connections to both me and my partner amp up the need to find this killer and get him behind bars before the city begins to panic.

Crime never sleeps in Crescent City, but I wish murder would take a day off. Two weeks ago, I was a regular beat cop in Boston. Now I’m here in the city, recovering from an injury the shapeshifter gifted me when I found the girl he’d kidnapped at the end of a string of bodies he'd left throughout the city. And now tensions are high among the vampire covens, leading to the death of the Onyx Mark coven leader. Evidence initially leads to the shifters, but I know better than to accuse them of anything without a solid connection to them. But my job isn’t the only thing on my mind. Finding my best friend dead, moving to a new town, and coming to grips with living in a paranormal world are just a few. And despite my attempts to find the woman who claims to have grown up with my mother, she might as well be a ghost at this point. The one person keeping me grounded is Heath, Mayor of the city and my new protector. But can he keep me safe from a vampire bite? Or are things about to get bloody?

A secret society for witches. I’d always just thought those were for privileged college students, but it turns out I was wrong. Again. Not to mention my half-sister, Nina, is in town claiming she’s hearing voices. If only there was an easier way to break her into the paranormal world than just telling her our family tree consists of witches and still to be determined paranormals. I’ve survived a shapeshifter attack, nearly been lunch for a murdering vampire, and now I’ve stumbled onto The Black Order, the small group of powerful witches who secretly control the Shadowmoon Coven. Heath warns me about getting closer to them, but solving a murder to learn more about my mom’s past is worth the risk. I just hope I can make it out without pledging my soul.

Not many half-breeds can wield the type of powers I've been gifted. I just wish I knew how to call them out when I need them. I've been in Crescent City now for over six months and have fought killer shapeshifters, vampires, and witches. Sure, not all of them have stayed in custody, but it was my goal to remedy that. But our current case had been sucking up all my time as we worked to catch a killer who was nearly invisible, even for me, the master of the tvary. And then there was my kind of half-sister to worry about, her nightmares becoming reality. And Heath's past decides to show up and jeopardize everything we've built up until now. After all that, the one thing I hadn't prepared myself for was the appearance of Jamison Sanchez-Clark. \\\Preorder your copy of this magical thriller today!\\\ Other books in the Claire Beckett Series: Claire Beckett and the Transfer of Power Claire Beckett and the Hunted Fortress of Blood Claire Beckett and the Black Order

Goal #1: Find the Codex. I thought ridding myself of Lee Vance would mean I could sleep better at night, but I'm running on fumes. Bodies are dropping around the city, all with the same MO. It's a regular serial killer case until my name pops up at multiple crime scenes. Enter my ex-boyfriend, Stetson Vanderberg, and my grumpiness is off the charts. Turns out he is part of the PFBI - Paranormal Federal Bureau of Investigation and he never said a word to me about it. When a second case pops up dealing with mind control, I know I've got to figure out where my mother hid the Codex. Alone, because of whoever is in charge of the Sparrow's Army. Another thing I'm in the dark about. The only thing that will help me get through this would be to find the Codex. It's my last hope. Other books in the Claire Beckett
