Dream Stalker

2016

Fancy a cup of magical tea? Come in, sit down, relax. Don't mind the killer in the corner... All Emma wants is to sell her enchanted teas in peace; instead, she's caught up in the chase for a killer who's stalking the streets of London. He's targeting half-bloods, people with limited magical ability. People just like Emma. The police are baffled by the long string of deaths, but they're not willing to put in the legwork to make an arrest. After all, magic users can take care of themselves, right? Except, those with real power don't give a damn about half-bloods. So, when Emma wakes from a strange dream that nearly gets her killed in the waking world, she knows she has to deal with it herself. She's not alone. Gibble, her Boggart shop assistant has her back. But can she trust the two strange men that turn up on her doorstep, claiming they want to help? The sun is going down and the killer is just around the corner... and Emma had better find a way to stop him. (This book was previously published as Dream Stalker. )

When Emma is approached by DCI Greyson to assist with a case, her first instinct is to say no. Still shaken by the attack on her life six months earlier, and balancing her friendships with a budding relationship, she'd prefer to stay clear of the danger. However, circumstances force her hand and she throws herself into the investigation. She soon realises that her target isn't a mysterious creature, but a dangerous man without the slightest care for human life... Can Emma survive the biggest risk she's ever faced, or will she have to sacrifice too much?
