She has a graveyard-shift radio show, a gift for hearing the music in every living soul, and a very firm policy against being anyone’s idea of harmless.

About the book

Wisteria Creed is a half-Pixie, half-Sidhe Fae. When a Wendigo tears through her San Diego neighborhood, she calls it in — and gets Detective Trevor Gibson, the one cop in the city willing to take her seriously. It’s the beginning of a reluctant partnership, a slower-burn romance, and a case that keeps getting worse in exactly the ways she should have seen coming.

Because the Wendigo wasn’t a random predator. Someone has been capturing them. Studying them. And the man behind it — methodical, patient, and genuinely brilliant — has just decided that Wisteria herself is the most interesting thing he’s ever found.

She’s spent her whole life being measured against a scale she was never meant to win on. Decorative. Harmless. Not quite Sidhe enough to matter. San Diego was supposed to be the place where nobody knew enough about her to have an opinion either way.

It turns out she’s considerably more than anyone — including herself — gave her credit for. She’s just about to find out exactly how much.
