Attend opera concerts. Run a few errands. Enjoy a luxury apartment, wardrobe, and car, all expenses paid. Sounds like a dream job, right? There's only one catch. After nights of haunting musical messages and retrieving strange, pulsing items for her eccentric employer, Cleo unravels a conspiracy she definitely isn't getting paid enough to be involved in. As time goes on, she glimpses a fantastical realm of individuals that prefer to keep their powers a secret, and will do anything to remain unseen. Once unveiled, there is no going back to blissful ignorance. It all started with a paycheck. But in the end, Cleo may be the one paying - with her life. ~ cover by Laine from @avadel sticker by @SuVida777 *ONC 2024 Honorable Mention and Shortlister *Open Door Awards 2024 New Adult Winner *8CC participant January-February 2024 Completed Word Count: 31,180 Featured: @mystery 100.
