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.

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.

~Highest rank~ #1 alienplanet (19/4/2023) || ×46 Award-winning book || After a great war wiped out the Elevanas and the Glorindians, the last survivor fled to Earth. Seventeen-year-old Fiona Cinderblock learned the way of humans; she got admission into Dian High School in Magnolia. Fiona tried to keep a low profile but her incredible skills exposed her every time. She rejected potential friends and connections to protect her secret identity; it was dangerous to grow fond of any human. ... Louis Walter, the son of the richest billionaires in town, is described as one with sass and smiles. People wondered what he didn't have-fame, money, a chiseled body, good looks-but bad grades. He had undergone intensive training since he was a kid and succeeded in all aspects except academics. Louis is reminded he's a wasted investment at the end of each semester by his father. Years passed and Louis got used to the name-calling. He accepted he was never good enough-but he wanted to pass his college exams. How could he prove his father wrong when he failed basic tests? ... These two worlds crossed paths-had a rusty start but slowly began to learn and grow together. Feelings crept in and they got comfortable with each other. Fiona loved Louis more when he opened up about his challenges, but he couldn't confess his love to her. As much as Fiona wanted to tell him about herself, she didn't. "What if he hates me? What if something goes wrong?" Louis found out about her secret in the most unpredictable way-when Fiona thought it was over, she had just unlocked another mystery. ©Kikibtsstan 2020
