Mina Wilde-bookstore owner, girlfriend to three of the hottest heroes of literature, and now . . . reluctant vampire hunter.
In the sixth novel in the Nevermore Bookshop Mysteries, Mina, Heathcliff, Morrie, and Quoth face off against their ultimate enemy.
Add meddling villagers, an army of fictional characters to wrangle, Mina's mother's latest get-rich-quick-scheme, and a curious dog into the mix, and Mina's got her hands full.
But Nevermore Bookshop still has secrets to reveal. Mina and her men are ready for an epic showdown worthy of a Homeric poem . . . if they survive.
Contains mature themes.
Morrie's been arrested on suspicion of murder. Mina knows the Napoleon of Crime is innocent, but how can she prove her favorite con-artist is being stitched-up?
Being the spider in the center of a vast criminal web has left Morrie in hot water. His list of enemies is long . . . too long for Mina and her men to unravel. Mina doesn't have a clue to stand on when a shadow from Morrie's past shows up and threatens to destroy everything she's fought for.
If Morrie's ex solves the murder before them, it could mean the end of Nevermore Bookshop. But is Mina ready to pit her sleuthing skills against literature's foremost consulting detective?
Add a rambunctious puppy, a meddling mother, a cockroach cookery lesson, and their ultimate enemy closing in, and Mina's on her toughest case yet. There's only one way to get the answers they need, but are Heathcliff and Quoth prepared to make the ultimate sacrifice to save their friend?
Contains mature themes.
Murder is bad for business, especially when the hot local crime writer is garroted between the shelves!
With grudging permission from Heathcliff, Mina Wilde has transformed Nevermore Bookshop. She's running author events, hosting Quoth's art show, and using her creative flair to attract more customers. But when crime writer Danny Sledge is murdered moments before his writing workshop, the bookshop goes from bustling to broke. No one in the village will set foot inside Nevermore.
What if the murderer is targeting the bookshop? What if it's connected to Mina's father and the mysterious room? All Mina knows is that if she doesn't solve the crime soon, she can kiss her livelihood goodbye.
Add in a plague of locusts, an emotional school visit, and a magical visitor from the past, and poor Mina has her work cut out for her.
Luckily, she has Heathcliff, Morrie, and Quoth to help . . . that is-if they can keep their hands off her, or each other . . .
Contains mature themes.
Don’t get killed on Devil’s Night.
I thought I was close to figuring out the truth about the mysterious death of my roommate. But Blackfriars University still holds her secrets close.
In the name of the Father…
Father Sebastian Pearce – my priest, my teacher, my friend. The man who tempted me into sin with that rich, commanding voice. The man who had me over an altar...in the biblical sense. The one man in the world I’m forbidden to love.
...the Son…
William Windsor-Forsyth – the dark prince who shattered my heart into a thousand pieces. He’s as cruel as he is beautiful, and he’s back to make sure I don’t forget that he’s royalty and I’m the freak.
...and the Holy Spirit…
In a moonlit ceremony of obscenity and excess, the Orpheus Society made me one of their own. But that doesn’t mean I’ll keep their secrets. I’m here to expose a killer, even if the price of justice is betraying the two men I love.
I’ve said my prayers,
and poured my libations.
The old gods are listening.
They demand sacrifice.
Amen.

I’m always the good girl. I never stand out. I follow the rules.
At Blackfriars University, there’s one whispered rule: Stay inside the night before Halloween. Hide under your blankets and hope the Orpheus Society isn’t the monster outside your window.
If they get you, you won’t just be humiliated. They’ll put you six feet under.
But I’ve screwed up.
I found bones in a shallow grave. Another good girl, just like me.
Now I’ll do whatever it takes to get to the truth.
I’ll catch the eye of the cruel aristocrat with a haunted gaze.
