Perfect for you if...

  • You love paranormal mystery with genuine stakes, where the supernatural abilities feel earned and consequential rather than convenient.
  • You're drawn to protagonists who embrace their strangeness instead of apologising for it, especially in gritty settings like the Texas bayou.
  • You want slow-burn chemistry between leads who already know each other and have history, not instalove.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You prefer your mysteries pure procedural without paranormal elements or magic systems muddying the investigative waters.
  • You need romance to be the driving force of the plot rather than a subplot within a larger mystery.
  • You're looking for literary polish and intricate plotting over a fun, shenanigan-filled supernatural romp.

About this book

Hailey Arquette lives in the Texas bayou with an unusual ability: she can relive a victim's last moments through touch, giving her valuable insight as a private investigator. When a killer targets her, a mysterious presence saves her from a bullet, warning her with a shout she cannot explain. FBI agent Trenton Briner returns to his small hometown to investigate a murder mystery involving magic. He repeatedly encounters Hailey, a woman from his past. Together, they must separate friend from foe and distinguish fact from fiction as they face supernatural threats from ghosts, shifters, and psychics.
