Criminal necromancer & vampire private eye team up to solve the case of the missing barista. *** When a client drops dead in her fortune telling parlor, 'reformed' necromancer Isla has no choice but to illegally resurrect the poor gal. Your girl's got priors, alright? Hiding a corpse will send Isla back to the slammer. The client's just a Tourist, so Isla is certain nobody will notice. But you know what they say: The only things certain in life are death, taxes, and a handsome vampire poking his fangs where they don't belong. Gregor, a vampire private detective, has been hired to find another vamp's misplaced favorite bloodbag-- I mean, barista. Greg knows the fraudulent and distractingly attractive psychic, Isla, is the key to the barista's whereabouts, but he just can't put his fangs on what it is she's hiding from him. If her little whoopsie is discovered, Isla fears both the otherworldly authorities and an ancient vampire will have her throat. So she does what any girl would do in her situation. She hires Greg to find the risen barista for her first so that she can undo the resurrection. Sparks fly and blood splatters as Greg and Isla investigate Philadelphia's secret paranormal society, throw literal bones at the werewolf mafia, commune with the spirits of dead vampire-brides, dodge arrest by the magic fuzz, and occasionally pop off for late night cheesesteaks.

Volumul I din seria "M-am Nenorocit". Vol. I si Vol. II PUBLICATE O fată care nu promite multe și nu visează la mai mult. Și un bărbat care și-a forțat limitele pentru a cunoaște succesul. Lumile lor n-ar fi trebuit niciodată să se ciocnească. Cu o familie disfuncțională, un anturaj de narcomani și certitudinea că era sortită eșecului lui Devon Black i-a fost ușor să îmbrățișeze depravarea cu brațele deschise de la o vârstă fragedă. Contrar tuturor credințelor, ani mai târziu a reușit să se reabiliteze. Nu a fost suficient. Niciodată într-o societate care nu poate accepta că unele greșeli pot fi îndreptate. Așadar, i-a rămas doar să încerce să se mențină pe linia de plutire. Karma nu a fost niciodată mai periculoasă ca acum... Întors în oraș după trei ani trăiți pe culmile succesului, campionul în box Hades Tate se confruntă cu declinul carierei sale. Poate la asta s-a așteptat, dar niciodată la surpriza de proporții de acasă. Prietena surorii sale nu mai e aceeași puștoaică dependentă pe care a lăsat-o în urmă, iar el nu mai pare să fie același bărbat care a judecat-o aspru de-a lungul timpului. Doar că trecutul nu poate fi îngropat, unele greșeli nu pot fi răscumpărate, iar vechile datorii trebuie achitate. Iar atunci rămân doar două variante: Încerci să ieși la suprafață sau sfârșești înghițit de întuneric. Temele abordate sunt: droguri, violenta, crima, abuz sexual, rasism, homofobie, violenta, suicid.

Miller Spencer knows that it's normal to love your best friend. Ace has been his best friend since forever. So, of course, it's completely natural to want to kiss him. It is typical to get jealous when you see him with someone else. It is absolutely ordinary that you may or may not have certain fantasies that aren't civilized enough to be told out loud. It is simply impossible that Miller would make the grave mistake of falling for his best friend in the all too familiar and cliche trope. Or maybe, Ace is trouble and Miller is falling for him. (TW: mild to moderate.)
