Tabitha Spencer never asked to be back home working as the receptionist at a fake psychic detective agency-she just wanted to keep her twin brother Shawn out of jail (and maybe out of her hair). But between managing chaos, dodging pineapples, and keeping clients from running for the hills, Tabitha's found her rhythm at Psych. Until a case with real consequences-and a trail of eerie coincidences-pulls her deeper into the investigation than she ever expected.
Enter Carlton Lassiter, Santa Barbara's most hard-nosed detective, who doesn't have time for nonsense, let alone a Spencer sibling with a knack for reading people a little too well. She gets under his skin-too intuitive, too bold, too... distracting. But when a string of murders leads directly to people Tabitha has encountered, Lassiter is forced to rely on her insight.
As clues unfold and tensions rise, what started as a reluctant alliance turns into something much more dangerous: attraction. She's chaos in Converse. He's order in a badge. Together, they're the last thing anyone expected-and maybe exactly what the other needs.

"My mother had warned me about strangers." I looked at her in confusion. "Okay, so?" "So what's your name?" She asked as if a stranger won't be able to say a fake name at all. Smart little kid. "Levi." She nodded. "Levi, hmm." "Now, can we get going, stranger kid?" "Okay," she said and got on my bike. It seemed like she didn't hear what I had called her. I started the bike and rode off.

Crimson Silence: "Order Of The Unseen"
Thornburghshire had always been a city of quiet rot-its corners dressed in order, but its bones brittle with secrets. After their last case nearly tore the city's justice system apart, Detective Yuki and newly promoted Detective Jelly are back on the streets, chasing something colder than a corpse and slicker than truth: a kidnapping. Eliza Whitmore, daughter of the mayor, vanishes without a trace one damp morning. What starts as a high-profile missing persons case soon coils into something far uglier-evidence pointing to a buried network pulling the strings behind the city's decay. A name surfaces like a whispered curse: The Order of the Unseen. As the detectives wade deeper into corruption and ritual, the mayor unveils a key figure-Colonel David Kane, his trusted advisor and enforcer. But Yuki knows that name. She remembers the man. He helped raise her brother Nisbet before his untimely death, and now stands as a ghost from a past she thought she'd buried. What follows is a descent into loyalty twisted by manipulation, regret sharpened into rage, and a partnership that begins to fray under the weight of truth. For Yuki and Jelly, the line between justice and revenge has never been thinner-and this time, crossing it might cost them everything.Completa
