The Vampire and the Case of the Secretive SirenSex, drugs and siren songs.Ok, so not much sex is going on. The closest I've gotten to some action is a date with Stan which ended in disaster. But with all the eye-candy walking around this small town, including the sexy vampire leader, Connor, I'm definitely re-thinking my 'no dating' rule. I don't get the chance to do much about it though because some ruffians think it's funny to break into the Grimes' moonshine shop... moreThe Vampire and the Case of the Secretive SirenSex, drugs and siren songs.Ok, so not much sex is going on. The closest I've gotten to some action is a date with Stan which ended in disaster.

I don't get the chance to do much about it though because some ruffians think it's funny to break into the Grimes' moonshine shop.It doesn't take too long to identify the shifters responsible, but it opens up a whole can of worms. Inebriated worms, like the ones you find in tequila. The kids weren't just drunk, they were high. High on a new kind of drug that's washing into Portlock. Literally. We found bags of the stuff floating in the harbour and it quickly becomes clear that this drug is anything but recreational. It can make you high, or it can shut down your organs quicker than you can say 'shotgun funeral'.We need to find the dealers and shut them down, before any more of our town gets hoodwinked by this powerful stuff.Oh, and there's a small problem with the barrier. The barrier that keeps us all safe from the cryptid monster that lurks beyond its confines. That barrier. Rips have been appearing in it, and if it falls, we're all doomed.An average day in Portlock then.Dive into this fast-paced urban fantasy series if you love mystery, humour, found family and a slow-burn romance.Don't miss the other Portlock Paranormal adventures!The Vampire and the Case of the Wayward Werewolf - Book 1The Vampire and the Case of the Secretive Siren - Book 2The Vampire and the Case of the Baleful Banshee - Book 3The Vampire and the Case of the Cursed Canine - Book 4 less

I thought I was finally getting the hang of being a paranormal policewoman, but when one of the gemstones powering the barrier around the town is stolen, I’m as terrified as the average Joe. Of course, there’s nothing average about the Joes in this town. It’s chock full of mythical creatures, and some of them think the barrier is a waste of time.Well, I’ve seen the cryptid monster beyond and I know we’re doomed if the magical palisade ever fails... moreI thought I was finally getting the hang of being a paranormal policewoman, but when one of the gemstones powering the barrier around the town is stolen, I’m as terrified as the average Joe.

Calling what would follow a massacre would be a gross understatement. The race is on. I need to find the gemstone before the weakened barrier fails forever and the fiend devours us all. No pressure then.It’s a simple theft… how hard can it be to solve? Answer: Very hard. Especially when theft turns into murder.There’s also the little outstanding matter of my date with the vampire leader, Connor, not to mention that my best friend seems to be falling apart at the seams. And if all of that isn’t enough to be cracking on with, I have a visitor due imminently. My mother.I’d rather face the monster.Dive into this fast-paced urban fantasy series if you love humour, heart, found family and a slow-burn romance.Don't miss the other Portlock Paranormal adventures:The Vampire and the Case of her Dastardly Death - prequelThe Vampire and the Case of the Wayward Werewolf - Book 1The Vampire and the Case of the Secretive Siren - Book 2The Vampire and the Case of the Baleful Banshee - Book 3The Vampire and the Case of the Cursed Canine - Book 4 less

Spells, hexes and curses. Curses are falling on this town like rain in London. Just when I think I’ve found a link between the hexed victims, someone else shows up jinxed too. It feels like the devil is playing darts with my paranormal town, and if the dart lands on you, you get whammied with a curse.Frankly, I haven’t got a clue how to find the perpetrator. Realistically, it probably isn’t Beelzebub. My sole lead is pointing me at the traveling black market that has just landed in Portlock... moreSpells, hexes and curses.

Realistically, it probably isn’t Beelzebub. My sole lead is pointing me at the traveling black market that has just landed in Portlock. That’s all fine and dandy — if I can find out where it is. Weirdly, no one is willing to talk to the cops about the highly-illegal-market. I’m persona non grata, which I’m kind of used to, being a slightly-less-than-undead vampire.On top of everything, my overbearing British mother has come to visit me in Alaska. Stuck in my shoebox house together, we might actually have to deal with some of our issues. Ugh, what fresh circle of hell is this? Thank goodness I have Connor MacKenzie, vampire leader and sexy lumberjack, to run to when the going gets tough.I’m juggling things — badly — when I discover my dog is cursed too. The question is, what would I do to save my hound? The answer: anything and everything. The world can burn for all I care, as long as I can save my pup.

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.
