Publisher Description

Miriam Feldman's got a murder to solve, a mouthy golem to corral, and her name to clear. Quite frankly, she's swamped.

Her new gig as a fixer for the magic community is a lot like being a full-time mom to someone else's kids… they get annoying faster but don't respond to guilt trips. And sure, maybe she feels kind of grumpy and stabby about these irritating jobs, but that doesn't mean she killed her latest client!

As far as the magic police are concerned, Miri and her wolf shifter friend Laurent might as well have "guilty of murder" tattooed on their foreheads. If they lose this fight, it'll be a one-way trip to Deadman's Island. Talk about a real buzzkill for their easy banter and deepening chemistry.

Even worse, the non-magic cops are also investigating the crime—and her ex-husband is the lead detective. This wasn't how she meant to pop his cherry about the existence of magic, but the time for foreplay is over.

To unmask the real killer, she'll have to navigate hidden agendas, lies, and the undead. But hey, she's faced worse; she used to be on the PTA.

Featuring a slow burn shifter romance and a smart older heroine with zero effs left to give, this clever, laugh-out-loud urban fantasy will take you on a wild ride.
