About this series

Shadow Salon detectives Luna and Celestine take on their second case, when Tim Calhoun insists his Conservatory of Theater Arts has been cursed, and the police have come up dry. He claims a red specter is terrorizing him, upturning his library of historic plays, setting fires in the theater, even brutalizing him. Tim is desperate to solve this terrifying mystery before Hollywood directors and agents flock to Savannah to watch his students perform and sign them.

 

The 1811 anonymous play is The Romance of the Recording Angels. Hazardous incidents follow rehearsals. Luna interviews students, inspects dorms and the library, where she unearths a copy of the play with strange red notations. She hires Arthur Dodge, a necro-visionary to find out who drew them. The shocking entity he resurrects reveals that three aerial realms must be unlocked to end an actual curse. But as time runs out, where the realms are, what must be done in them and just why the curse was inflicted remains a mystery.

 

To uncover clues, Luna uses her water magic and flight skills, while resisting her growing attraction to client, Tim. Celestine shares tips from her automatic drawings. As time runs out, Luna must try anything: Dodge's visionary tea, Hoodoo Root Worker, Selka Dupree's spell jars, and farmer Crow Dao's lessons in realm jumping. If Luna fails to reach the realms, people will perish, the conservatory will be shuttered, and the curse will spread.

    Supernaturally on the case! Celestine LeBlanc and Luna Finley are the Sleuths of Shadow Salon.   Celestine, witch and wolf shifter has a talent for prophetic drawings. She's shocked when she draws her landlord Ray with his eyes gouged out and a strange winged-mermaid leaning over him. Later she finds an eyeless Ray dead on the sidewalk. All she wanted to do was open a gallery, but first she must apprehend his killer. In a posthumous note, Ray wrote he wasn't just a leather-smith but a supernatural pirate mage. Years back, his Jekyll crew trapped the evil Demon Three Eyes clan. Ray feared they'd escaped, were stalking him, and would soon wreak havoc on Savannah.   Oryn, a fellow student in Celestine's art class, is a fae and a thorn in her side, when he asks nosy questions about the case. Yet, she's drawn to him when he's her masseur at the spa she frequents, and he's clever at brainstorming leads regarding Ray's case. He insists his air magic could come in handy.   When pirates in Ray's old crew are murdered, their body parts stolen, Celestine puts more horrifying clues together. She'll need everyone on board, including Luna, a mermaid asking to show her sea-glass sculptures at Celestine's new gallery—and the very same mermaid in Celestine's tragic drawing of Ray. Otherwise, the lethal monstrosity Demon Three Eyes is unleashing on Savannah will destroy the city and everyone in it.    This urban fantasy detective series is around 65k words, and will likely appeal to fans of Kim Harrison and Charlaine Harris. Set in lush, spooky Savannah, Georgia, The Sleuths of Shadow Salon has "page-turning twists, devious villains and romance galore".
