The second novel in the addictive bestselling supernatural series begun with Dead Witch Walking.

Operating out of a converted stone church in the Hollows, the freelance earth witch scrambles to pay the rent while dodging trigger-happy werewolves and corrupt Inderlander rivals.

When a brutal serial killer begins targeting Cincinnati’s ley-line witches, Rachel accepts a missing-persons case that thrusts her into the crosshairs of powerful councilman Trent Kalamack.

Surviving means walking a razor-thin line between human law enforcement, dangerous demon pacts, and the predatory instincts of the living vampire sharing her home.

To save herself and her vampire roommate, former bounty hunter Rachel Morgan must confront six feet of sheer supernatural seduction—the vampire master—and dark secrets she’s hidden even from herself.

• Found Family: A foul-mouthed four-inch pixy armed with a dragonfly sword and an army of garden kids backs Rachel through every scrape.
• Locked Room Mystery: A bizarre crime scene hidden inside an elite stable forces Rachel to decipher strange arcane circles before corrupted evidence lets the culprit walk.
• Race Against Time: Armed with a cherry-red paint pellet gun loaded with sleeping draughts, Rachel stalks dangerous leads across Cincinnati before the killer strikes again.
• Forced Proximity: Rooming together means dodging intoxicating pheromones in the kitchen and enforcing strict house rules to prevent accidental feeding.
• Also by This Author: The Witch with No Name, The Undead Pool and Dead Witch Walking.
