In the fall of 2003, a witch named Allie Devereux and a half-merman named Caspian "Kaz" Benowitz - turned to an occult contract-killing agency, The Black Thorn Collective, to pay their rent. But after botching an assignment, their mysterious employer gives them an ultimatum: investigate a supposedly haunted boarding house deep in the Bayou. What became a dull, uneventful job quickly became a waking nightmare. The chores are tedious, the landlord is overworked, and realtors circling the property like vultures. But when Allie and Kaz stumble upon an ominous spirit in the woods, they realize something far more sinister is lurking behind the boarding house's walls. With the house on the verge of being shut down, the burden of uncovering the truth and the killer falls squarely on their shoulders. Make no mistake: Allie and Kaz have no interest in saving the tenants or preventing lawsuits. But if solving this mystery is their only ticket out of this hellhole, they'll do whatever it takes, even if it means cracking a few skulls.
