About this ebook

As an investigative journalist, Merci Lanard has an uncanny knack for getting the truth out of people, a talent she uses to expose the real story behind her city’s most gruesome crimes.

Until one night, when her partner, Ethan, is killed.

Reeling from shock and grief, Merci vows to track down his murderer. As she starts digging, she meets Ethan’s estranged brother, Rafe, who agrees to work with Merci to find his brother’s killer. She soon discovers Ethan had been hiding things from her, mainly that he was a Shifter and had a whole life in a supernatural world she knew nothing about.

A Shifter himself, Rafe introduces Merci to magic she never knew existed. As they work together to uncover hidden connections between Ethan's murder and a series of strange dead bodies, they find themselves in the crosshairs of a turf war for the soul of the city.

If Merci is to have any hope of saving her city, she will have to face the truth about this war, the truth about this new magical world, and the truth about who she truly is.

Editor's Note

Mysteries Revealed...

Is it a mystery? Is it a paranormal? Is it a romance? Yes! Merci Lanard is an investigative journalist who uncovers a wealth of secrets when her partner is killed. The book succeeds on every level, from unraveling the mystery to revealing the paranormal world Merci has never seen before to the Scottish professor, who is definitely more than what he seems.

    A wonderful first book in the series. Merci is a great character and I especially like that she's mostly reasonable when she comes up against obstacles. Nice ending.

    Was a bit of a hard listen to, due to Grammer, once I got used to the reader I enjoyed the story

    There are A LOT of grammar errors and redundant sentences in this book. English was my least favorite subject in school but even I can see that this book needs work. I couldn't enjoy the story because I kept getting tripped up by sentences that would repeat themselves and misplaced words.
