    “Fun and clever, sassy and quirky.” 
    It's a good thing vampires can eat chocolate, because with a murder so bizarre, this vamp is going to need to sink her fangs into a whole box. 
    Cat backpacks? Check. Locally made dog perfume? Check. Bracelets to match your pet’s collar? Check. Josie Wixx, disabled vampire and pet boutique owner, prefers to spend her days selling fancy and weird pet accessories and her nights eating chocolate while curled up with her Scottish Terrier…until her best customer is murdered in her friend’s bakery. 
    Stunned to hear that the kindhearted baker is now the prime suspect in the murder, Josie vows to clear her name. There’s just one problem—no one even knows how the exotic poison got into the victim’s system, not even the handsome medical examiner that Josie is just friends with. And as Josie starts to unravel the web of lies and secrets woven around the victim, it becomes clear a killer more devious than Dracula himself is on the loose. Josie fears her pained joints might give up before she can stop them. 
    With more suspects on the list than Josie has working joints, can Arteria Falls’ only P.I. catch the killer before they claim another victim? 
    If you like cozy towns, vivacious vampires, and charming canine companions, then you'll love Elle Wren Burke’s fangtastic mystery.
