Vampire private eye and criminal necromancer return to unravel the mystery of a stolen painting. * When a famous painting vanishes during a gala at the Philadelphia Museum of Art, reformed necromancer turned private eye's assistant, Isla, considers it serendipitous that she happens to be at the soiree. Just don't mention to her vampire boss (and former fling), Greg, she was there on a date with the handsome curator. Hey, if the vamp wants to keep things all business and no play between them, that's his loss. She can be professional about it. Totally. Determined to prove her worth at this whole mystery solving business, Isla convinces her date to hire a certain vampire/necromancer private eye duo to recover the artwork before getting the pesky human authorities involved. Greg, if you're wondering, isn't jealous. He's making damn sure things stay all business between him and Isla moving forward. It's not like he's still craving her intoxicating blood or anything. That would be unprofessional. She can date whoever she wants... after they find this pinched painting. Of course, nailing the thief would go a lot faster if greedy suspects didn't also keep vanishing one by one.

In the quiet village of Hawthorne, Joslyn was the village outcast. Having barely survived a house fire that killed her parents as a child, she was left permanently disfigured with no friends or family. Stuck living as the village elder's servant as the only way to pay off her family's debt, her banal day-to-day life suddenly brightens when a beautiful woman arrives and not only acknowledges Joslyn, but also becomes her one and only friend. However, that happiness is short-lived as Joslyn awakes one morning to find that her new friend is missing in a wake of destruction and she's been accused of her murder. When all seems lost, another stranger walks into town.

Jake and MC are together and happy. Five years later Jake receives a phone call that threatens their future.

Love, friendship, family, affection. How can we survive without knowing their meaning and without ever having tried them? Yet Robin was completely alien to these words, as to the weight they represented once they entered her heart.

It's been a year since Hannah was found. In an insane twist of events Jake and MC find themselves closer than ever but still so far apart. If their love is meant to be it will have to overcome many trials and hardships along the way including death.

A week after Hannah Danford has been found and brought back home safe, Jake decides to visit Duskwood to finally meet his half-sisters - and you. You try your best to find out where you two are at with your relationship while you slowly get to know each other more. But unfortunately, Duskwood doesn't stay safe for too long - as if it is attracting danger, a new criminal shows themselves, and you and the others have to rely on yourselves to stop this person. Fem!MC x Jake, slow burn romance, drama and thriller, reader POV. There is sexual references, strong language, murder & kidnapping included in the story. P.S: English is not my native language, so go easy on me please. :) Otherwise I'm open for constructive criticism. All rights go to Everbyte. The characters and the backstory isn't mine, only this fiction.
