Perfect for you if...

  • You enjoy cosy mysteries with paranormal twists and don't need everything explained away rationally.
  • You like your female leads flawed, sarcastic, and operating on their own terms rather than waiting for rescue.
  • You appreciate ensemble casts where side characters (sirens, best mates, other witches) feel like real people with their own arcs.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You need romance as the central plot rather than a subplot building between the leads.
  • You want serious, dark paranormal horror rather than a lighter, mostly comedic tone with genuine stakes.
  • You prefer standalone mysteries over series that intentionally leave threads open for the next book.

About this book

Hali Waverly is hit by a golf cart driven by a drunken billionaire and left on the pavement. His handlers compensate her with ownership of a tiki bar on a resort property and a villa on St. Pete Beach. When private investigator Grayson "Gray" Hunter arrives asking about a missing woman, Hali is reluctant to share information—she's already investigating the case herself with her best friend, another witch, and a group of sirens who control the beach. Gray and Hali clash repeatedly until they agree to work together temporarily. Young women are disappearing from the resort at an alarming rate. Evil is at work, and it will take both magic and conventional investigation to stop it. Hali and Gray form an unlikely crime-fighting team to confront the threat and discover whether they can survive what's coming.
