Synopsis

You remember the brutal crime, don’t you?   Maybe you read about it on Twitter. Maybe a friend sent you a news clip. Maybe you saw it on an episode of Spectral Journeys that night you were flipping through channels, unable to sleep.  Maybe after reading the true story, you won’t ever sleep again.
 
  On June 1, 2017, six people were killed at a Burger City franchise off I-80 near Jonny, Iowa. It was the bizarre and gruesome conclusion to nine months of alleged paranormal activity at the fast-food joint—events popularly known as “the Burger City Poltergeist.
 
”  The story inspired Facebook memes, Twitter hashtags, Buzzfeed listicles, Saturday Night Live sketches, and more. But the case was never much more than a punchline…until bestselling writer Daniel Kraus (The Shape of Water, The Living Dead) decided to head to Iowa to dig up what really happened.  Presented here is the definitive story of “the most exhaustively documented haunting in history,” including—for the first time ever—interviews with every living survivor of the tragedy.
 
  The employees of Burger City were a family. They loved one another. At least, at the beginning.  But love can make you do unspeakable things.

Blood & Ash - A Snarky Urban...

Deborah Wilde

"Wilde combines hardboiled noir and Jewish folklore in this action-packed, perfectly paced paranormal romp… This giddy, sexy series launch is a delight.” - Publishers Weekly (starred review)
Missing teens. Illegal magic. And the sexy nemesis who might drive her to murder.
Ashira Cohen built her detective agency from the ground up. Small, yes—but even Sherlock Holmes started somewhere. Then a routine stakeout goes sideways, leaving her with a concussion, a mysterious tattoo hidden under her hair, and the ability to see shadow creatures that kill people.
Shadow creatures no one else can see.
Worse? She accidentally summons a weapon made of her own blood. In front of Levi Montefiore.
He’s the arrogant, infuriatingly gorgeous head of the magical community. Her long-time nemesis. And he immediately throws her in a cell on suspicion of being a Rogue.
Turns out the tattoo was a magical ward suppressing dangerous blood magic she never knew she had. Magic that's not just rare—it's forbidden. One word from Levi and she loses everything: her agency, her freedom, her future.
Except Levi needs her. Teens are vanishing, and Ash is the only one who can track the creatures behind it.
She'll have to infiltrate a magical black market, outwit a cunning queen who trades in secrets, and navigate the thin line between investigating Levi's world and wanting to strangle him. Or kiss him. The jury's still out.
Smart is the new kickass, and Ash’ll prove she's both.
If you love Ilona Andrews' Kate Daniels and Hidden Legacy series, The Jezebel Files delivers clever mysteries, razor-sharp banter, and a heroine who outwits as much as she outfights.
