Can my heart take the bite of Secret Agent Vampire? 
 
 
 
Reese: Moving back to Mystic Harbor was supposed to be a fresh start, but my welcome wagon has a knack for mischief. First, my blender explodes, then a seagull decides I'm its target. When I think things can't get any weirder, someone scrawls "Leave Town" on my bathroom mirror. To restore my sense of security, I hire a vampire detective named Wolfram to help me track down a potential stalker. Wolf, with his dramatic black cape and surprisingly cute fangs, makes my heart flutter in ways I didn't expect. But once we unveil the identity of the person determined to chase me out of town, our time together will end—unless we decide to bite out of love. 
 
 
 
Wolfram: As a born vampire, not one of those measly made vampires, I control my hunger with donated blood. The only blood a born vampire truly craves is that of his destined mate. Taking a job at Monsters, PI turns out to be more than a just a favor to my orc friend; it leads me to my fated one—Reese. Now, an unseen enemy threatens her peace in this quaint town. I, Wolfram Xavier Vladimir Zegrath, will eliminate this menace. Then I will claim my true mate as my bride.

Ellery Adams

As the residents of Miracle Springs, North Carolina, select their costumes, plan parties, and get excited for a night of tricks or treats, Nora joins in on the festivities by hosting medium memoirist Lara Luz at the bookstore. Charismatic and compelling, Lara mesmerizes the audience with her life story. Struck by a bolt of lightning as a child, she was pronounced dead only to be resurrected with the ability to connect with those on the other side. 
 
 
 
Lara performs a reading for a select group of bookstore patrons when the encroaching storm knocks out the power. In the sudden darkness, howling cold winds intensify, and Lara clutches her heart, collapsing dead without warning. But Nora doesn't believe she died of natural causes. Not one member of the psychic's reading group—which includes the town's widower pharmacist, an urgent care nurse, a mystery author, and even truculent Deputy Hollowell—were admirers of Lara. 
 
 
 
Nora confirms this when she stumbles upon Lara's journal in the aftermath of her death. For within its leathery bound pages are the medium and her clients' deepest and darkest secrets, written in code. Now, Nora and the Secret, Book, and Scone Society must sift through the suspects and their motives to uncover which one of them is a killer before he or she is tempted to strike again . . .
