Perfect for you if...

  • You enjoy paranormal cosy mysteries with real stakes and messy personal lives alongside the magic and danger.
  • You like your vampires imperfect and complicated rather than brooding and traditional, especially when they're mired in paperwork and bureaucracy.
  • You appreciate slow-burn tension with a dash of romance, wry humour, and characters who feel like actual people rather than archetypes.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You want gothic vampire romance where the supernatural world is dark and dangerous without much levity or comedic moments.
  • You prefer standalone novels to series or are put off by books that centre on mundane problems like missing documents and legal forms.
  • You're looking for fast-paced action throughout rather than a mystery that builds gradually around workplace intrigue and character relationships.

About this book

Recently divorced and recently deceased, the protagonist has discovered that vampirism requires extensive paperwork. Without proper documentation, she is now an illegal vampire struggling with the basic challenge of being around her children without losing control. A gothic vampire matriarch has taken her in at her castle, insisting she needs a supernatural guardian to prevent her powers from destabilizing. Reluctant to be bound to anyone after her divorce, the protagonist takes a job at a supernatural law firm, hoping for a fresh start. When a magical artifact goes missing at the firm, suspicion falls on the supernatural community. The protagonist finds herself searching for the Twilight Concordat alongside a purple-haired mage with a casual approach to breaking and entering. Her investigation brings her into contact with Clara Blackwood, the Council's Chief Investigator, whose scrutiny of the protagonist is difficult to interpret—whether as antagonism or something more complicated remains unclear.
