Dead to Me
2020
Meet Darby. Coffee addict. Homicide detective. Oh, and she can see ghosts, too... There are only three rules in Darby Adler's life. One: Don't talk to the dead in front of the living. Two: Stay off the Arcane Bureau of Investigation's radar. Three: Don't forget rules one and two. With a murderer desperate for Darby's attention and an ABI agent in town, things are about to get mighty interesting in Haunted Peak, TN.

Dead and Gone
2021
There are few things worse than being on the Arcane Bureau of Investigation’s naughty list. To keep herself out of hot water, Darby Adler has made a deal with the devil—using her skills as a grave talker to help the ABI solve some very cold cases. But there is something mighty amiss in this task—especially when quite a few of these cases lead Darby right back to her hometown of Haunted Peak and the secrets buried there.

Dead Calm
2021
There's not enough coffee or tacos in the world to deal with Darby Adler's family. If it's not her death-dealing father, her back-from-the-dead mother, or her ghost grandfather, it's her long-lost siblings and their bid for power. With the ABI radio silent and her siblings to find, Darby's got a major problem on her hands—especially when the local coven figures out that her father is no longer bound. Can Haunted Peak, TN handle this family reunion?

Dead Shift
2021
Detective Darby Adler is about to hand in her badge. After inadvertently taking the mantle of Warden of Knoxville, Darby has painted a huge target on her back. With bridges burned and the ABI on her tail, she’ll have to decide between staying a small-town detective or leaning into her new role. It’s not only her job on the line—it’s her life. Who says small towns are boring?
#5
Dead Ahead
2022
Some secrets should stay buried. After accidentally freeing a demon, ticking off the werewolf alpha, and possibly inciting a war, Darby Adler’s Warden job is in serious peril. With the council up in arms and a literal god on her doorstep, Darby needs to figure her life out and pronto. If she can’t, losing her job might be the least of her problems.
#6
Dead Wrong
2022
Never make a deal with a demon. There are two things Darby Adler wants more than anything: to take a vacation, and to find who is responsible for the rash of witch abductions in Knoxville. With an ancient vampire in town and a slew of fugitives on the loose, her suspect pool is vast. But Darby has a sneaking suspicion she knows the culprit all too well. And if she can’t catch him on her own, she might just have to resort to more creative measures to get the job done. Here’s hoping she doesn’t lose her soul in the process.
#7
Dead and Buried
2023
Darby Adler is done. Done with the Council. Done with ancient evils popping up every five seconds. And especially done with her ex-boyfriend, Bishop. On the hunt for the slippery mage, she has teamed up with an unlikely ally in a Prince of Hell. The same prince that invades her thoughts, her space, and maybe her heart. But when the dreaded ex starts targeting those closest to Darby, all deals–demon or otherwise–are off. Darby’s going to bury Bishop La Roux… one way or another.
