Avery Graves is your typical type A personality who strives to achieve her best. Her sister, Brooke is…not that. Despite Avery’s best efforts, things aren’t working out as well for them as they are for the other reapers in town and the sisters find themselves a few dead souls short of making the rent. While chasing down a soul bounty that might get them out of their pauper’s grave and into a mausoleum, things take a turn for the worse when the sisters find themselves at odds with the worst thing possible: The living. Because the only thing worse than a dead soul that refuses to move on, is a living soul that refuses to let go.

Book excerpt: The citizens of Clayton City have a problem. From beneath their beds, from deep in the corners of their darkest closets, things are stirring. Monstrous things. In the twin cities of Clayton and Callahan, Alex Cheradon and Devon Christian are two somewhat famous-ish private investigators. They’ve saved the twin cities a couple of times, stopped a werewolf apocalypse or two and are the best of friends, despite that short period of time when Devon went crazy and tried to kill Alex. But it’s all water under the proverbial bridge now. Times are tough and cheating spouses and missing kids don’t always pay the bills. Of course, thanks to a mysterious, mystical gem embedded in his chest, Devon can go weeks, sometimes even months without eating. Unfortunately for Alex, though, all he has is a sharp wit and an awesome collection of hilariously ironic T-Rex t-shirts, neither of which do much to satisfy the grumbling in his stomach. When Judy Brathweight darkens their doorstep with concerns about what’s making some creepily hungry noises under her child’s bed, Alex and Devon are in no position to turn her away. Monster hunting may not be their specialty, but at least it’ll put food on the table. Unless, of course, Alex and Devon end up as food on someone else's table first.

Under Natuzzi law, the charge of High Treason carries only one possible punishment: Death. While the Natuzzi are considered a valued member of the United Planetary Alliance, they are also considered to be notoriously xenophobic. They prefer to keep non-Natuzzis off their planet and out of their affairs. Under the guise of maintaining diplomatic relations, Nax is abandoned by the UPA Fleet Admiralty. As far as they are concerned, if Nax has broken Natuzzi law, then the Natuzzi can have their pound of flesh and any attempt made to interfere with the Natuzzi legal process would be considered an act of war. Captain Gavin Mitchell, however, doesn’t see it that way. He’ll do whatever it takes to protect a member of his crew. Even if it means starting a war that no one will win.
