As the pressure mounts, her relationship with her cop boyfriend collapses, forcing Ava to confront the pain—and the secrets—that could cost her love, her career, and her life.

    Welcome to Portlock: where the dead don’t always stay that way. 
    When a human inspector drops dead in the Chrome Mine, things get messy fast. The dwarves are up in arms, swearing the mine is cursed, and when a second body turns up—this time without its head—all fingers point to the local hag. 
    But I’ve met Matilda. She’s terrifying, sure, but she doesn’t seem like the elaborate crime scene type. More of a ‘crush you under a landslide’ kind of gal. Still, with the dwarves baying for blood and a murderer on the loose, I need answers before this case spirals out of control. 
    Tracking killers is hard enough without worrying about a cryptid monster lurking beyond the town’s magical barrier, my four-legged best friend struggling with his humanity, and my infuriatingly attractive vampire mate trying to keep me out of trouble (good luck with that, Connor). 
    With a town full of suspects and secrets, I’ll have to dig deep to unearth the truth. Let’s hope I don’t end up buried—undead. 
    Dive into this fast-paced urban fantasy series if you love mystery, humour, found family, and a slow-burn romance.
