From Hollywood hotshot to monster-slaying misfit

What does divorcing Hollywood’s most powerful jerk get you? In my case, blacklisted and a ticket to rock bottom.

A one-time studio executive, I’m now scrabbling as a newly licensed P.I. in the city that popularized noir. And I’ve just landed a job at a shabby downtown agency. Watch out, LA!

But that was before I discovered the agency’s specialty—hunting monsters. The actual kind. Suddenly, I’m seeing a side of the city that makes horror look like a documentary: vampires, werewolves, hostile spirits, and all manner of magic. This is probably where I should run screaming, but I need the money. I’m also intrigued by my mentor—a strong, silent throwback in a Members Only jacket.

Couple of problems. One, I conned my way into the position. And two, the agency forbids supernatural hires … and I’ve sort of been shooting fire from my hands lately. Oh, and there are factions in LA who seem to want me dead.

Which has me worried. Am I the city’s newest hero, or its latest monster?

Battling a master vampire should have been the highlight of my week. But it was only Tuesday.

My cryptid hunting agency—yes, the same one I conned into hiring me—has been contracted to catch a supernatural arsonist. The perpetrator is targeting LA’s homeless, and the body count is rising fast.

Though I’ve sworn to keep my distance from Kyle, my intuition is pushing me into a partnership. Danger, Maddy! Not only will I have to hide my true nature and growing attraction, but we’re uncovering evidence that a powerful player is behind the attacks—and they’ll eliminate anyone who gets in their way.

Meanwhile, I’m in a race against shadowy operatives to discover the origin of my mother’s locket. The answers may lurk in my childhood home where my demon first awakened—and the last place I ever wanted to return.

As fire and ash sweep the city, time is running out. But stopping the arsonist could cost me everything. My secrets … my sanity … quite possibly my soul…

Can’t it just be Tuesday again?

Powerful forces want to register every supernatural in L.A. If they succeed, I’ll be marked for death.

Emma’s angelic cult is driving the program, officials are fast-tracking the vote, and my partner Kyle has joined their crusade. He may not know about my half-demon nature, but he’s damned sure putting me in the crosshairs.

It doesn’t help that we’re working a case together. An auto magnate’s son has disappeared, and the city suspects cryptids. Thing is, we still make a hell of a team. And my feelings for him? Stronger than ever.

As the registry vote gains terrifying momentum, I’m struggling to build alliances with the city’s most powerful enclaves. But to navigate that world, I need a guide: a charismatic vampire whose motives are suspect at best.

Meanwhile, the hunt for the missing son is dragging Kyle and me into increasingly dangerous quarters—face-to-face with the very supernaturals I need on my side. And who know I’m not human.

Can I keep my explosive secret from Kyle long enough to crack a case that’s spiraled into a full-blown conspiracy?

Or do I unleash my demon to stop the city-wide purge?
