Spells, hexes and curses. Curses are falling on this town like rain in London. Just when I think I’ve found a link between the hexed victims, someone else shows up who’s been jinxed. It feels like the devil is playing darts with my paranormal town and if the dart hits you, you get whammied with a curse. To be honest, I haven’t a clue how to find the perpetrator. My sole lead is pointing at the travelling black market that has just arrived in Portlock. That would be all fine and dandy — if I could find it. Weirdly, no one is willing to direct the cops to a highly illegal market. I’m obviously persona non grata – though being a slightly-less-than-undead vampire, I’m kind of used to that. On top of everything, my overbearing British mother has come to visit. Stuck in my shoebox of a house together, we might actually have to deal with some of our issues. Thank goodness I have Connor Mackenzie, vampire leader and sexy lumberjack, to run to when the going gets tough. I’m juggling things—badly—when I discover my dog is cursed. What am I willing to do to save my hound? Anything and everything. The world can burn for all I care, as long as I can save my pup… Dive into this fast-paced urban fantasy series if you love mystery, humour, found family and a slow-burn romance.

Every new book from her feels like a visit from your best friend, a wild ride, outrageously funny, saucy, comforting and dramatic all at the same time. This is gold standard Urban Fantasy. Five stars, bring on the next one!" - Lauretta Hignett, best-selling author of the Imogen Grey series. "I love Heather G. Harris's novels. Heather is a storytelling genius, and her books are truly magical!" - Brogan Thomas, best-selling author of the Creatures of the Otherworld series. Heather is an urban fantasy writer and mum.
