A sex worker turned private eye must investigate her supernatural hometown in order to find a missing girl, but when clues lead her on a path of deadly desire and deception, she's forced to face her own demons in a race against the looming Bloodmoon.

                                                                             *****

Waking up naked on the beach isn't too off-brand for Mara Philips, considering the opened bottle of whiskey not far away. Recently forced to surrender her detective badge, she's been having a rough couple weeks. 

But blacking out the same night the neighbor's dog dies?

A little sus.

Something's amiss along the lakeshore and Mara discovers the dog might not be the only victim.

Fliers for missing teenage girls are posted all over town and a mother desperate for answers begs the rogue detective to take her case. With the help of a new flame, Mara investigates the shadows of her rural town where shapeshifters roam and a government agency hunts them down. But when clues lead her on a path of deadly desire and deception, she'll be forced to face her own demons before they consume her in a race against the looming Bloodmoon.

Justice For The Fallen ✓ by axgirl13

Unjustly accused of murder, the Demon of Wrath joins forces with the Archangel of Justice to find the true culprit. ____ Sannarah lives from one deadline to the next. As a Wrath Demon, she is obliged to provide a certain number of human souls to the Fallen God every month so she can stay in the Human Realm. If she fails to do so, she'll be sent straight back to Hell. And it's not a nice place, even for demons. One day she follows the shady tip-off and finds herself in the middle of a gruesome crime scene as the main suspect. The lead investigator Melkyal, an Archangel of Justice, gives her a choice: she can help him find an actual perpetrator and get a clean slate, or refuse and spend a few weeks in jail for petty crimes. With looming deadlines, she can't afford to waste time. But teaming up with an angel can't be a good idea. Even though he seems reasonable and focused on finding the truth, he's still a mortal enemy. Sannarah has an opportunity to topple the unjust order plaguing her whole life, but the chances of success are slim, and the consequences of failure are unfathomable. Melkyal must choose between blind obedience to his god and trusting his own judgment. They may have to take a leap of faith to save each other. ____ 🌟Shortlisted for the Wattys 2022🌟 🥇place in the Count Awards in the Paranormal category ____ The beautiful cover made by amazing @Lueur_laVespine
