  Helen Stoner worries her stepfather may be trying to kill her after he contrives to move her to the bedroom where her sister had died two years earlier, shortly before her wedding. Stoner is herself now engaged, and Holmes learns that her stepfather's annuity (from the estate of his wife — Stoner's mother) would be greatly reduced if either sister married. During a late-night investigation of the bedroom, Holmes and Watson discover a dummy bell-pull near a ventilator. As they lie in wait a whistle sounds, then a snake appears through the ventilator. Holmes attacks the snake with his riding crop; it retreats to the next room, where it attacks and kills Stoner's stepfather.

  Sometimes you can't go home, and that would've been just fine by me. 
   
   
   
  I'm Hazel Kinsey, a special agent for the FBI, and I'm also a witch. Seventeen years earlier, I packed up my belongings and my squirrel familiar Tizzy, and I left my paranormal hometown of Paradise Falls for good. Or so I thought. 
   
   
   
  When my best friend from high school, Lily Mason, calls and asks me to investigate her brother's murder, I can't say no. She was there for me during the worst time of my life, and it's my turn to return the favor, no matter the personal cost. 
   
   
   
  Going home is harder than I imagined. My grumpy, hot high school crush, a bear shifter named Ford Baylor, has become a grumpy, hot police officer who's not happy to see me. Unfortunately, I can't stop thinking about him. All these years away, I imagined him married to his bear shifter sweetheart and living the white-picket-fence dream. But Ford is single, and he looks ready to strangle me. Apparently, I'm his mate. Who knew? 
   
   
   
  On top of that, there's a sinister force at work in Paradise Falls, and I have to solve the mysterious murders happening around town if I want to prevent my best friend from becoming the next victim.

  Tyler Stone is an enigma. He is polite, charming, intelligent, and possibly the most dangerous man you never want to meet. Disgusted by what he perceives as a society too stupid to realize it is being prayed on by divisive agendas that enrich a tiny minority, Tyler embarks on a killing spree. But this is no mindless act of violence; quite the contrary, it is a well-thought-out and executed plan that is akin to one man waging war against an entire nation. With casualties mounting, society coming apart at the seams, and law enforcement closing in, Tyler is determined to execute his plan and, more importantly, get away with it.
