    About this series

    Phenomenal Cosmic Power... Itty Bitty Moral Compass.


    With paranormal activity at an all-time high, Arturo Brooks and Edward Smith decide to stop working for others and form their own paranormal detective agency. They're not the only ones. The market is saturated, and they struggle to find even a single client.


    That changes following a chance encounter with a genie that doesn't grant wishes so much as do whatever the hell it wants. The detectives' reality is completely upended—for better and worse. Better for them. Worse for the world.


    Brooks and Smith have to set things right, but their attempts at doing so are complicated by a genie-thieving venture capitalist, self-sabotage, and a newer, stupider detective in town. Some wishes really can’t come true.


    About the Series


    From the mind of award-winning author* Martina Fetzer, the Brooks & Smith series brings fast-paced science fiction and fantasy with an emphasis on humor. It follows two detectives and their makeshift family on a series of increasingly absurd adventures. These books are often silly, sometimes dark, and never child friendly. A Genie Ruins Everything is Book #3.


    *1996, 1997, 1998 Oakview Elementary Perfect Attendance Award

      Time Travel: What Could Go Wrong? Paranormal detectives Arturo Brooks and Edward Smith hated time travel before they ever laid eyes on a time machine. Now, some jerk has gone and invented one, and the consequences go beyond breaking the timeline. This time machine renders anyone who dares to use it immortal. Plenty of people would love to get their hands on technology like that. Racing against several clocks, Brooks and Smith team up with a terrified Puritan and a moon-dwelling hipster to stop increasingly bizarre time travel exploits from tearing their lives and reality apart, before it's too late… Or too soon.

      Who wants to live forever? No one, it turns out. Paranormal detectives Arturo Brooks and Edward Smith have a problem. Following an ill-advised time travel adventure, Smith is immortal...and he's not happy about it. He lashes out against everyone and everything. When the detectives go on daytime television, Smith whistleblows the existence of vampires. The public fallout is immense. While vampires plot revenge, the detectives and their family are targeted by protestors, monster rights activists, and an aesthetics-obsessed billionaire ready to make the men an offer that will change their lives (and afterlives) forever. Can they die happily ever after? About the Series The Brooks & Smith series brings fast-paced science fiction and fantasy with an emphasis on humor. It follows two detectives and their makeshift family on a series of increasingly absurd adventures. These books are often silly, sometimes dark, and never child friendly. This is book 2.
