by Hunter Skye

About this book

Trapped in the crack between sleeping and waking, narcoleptic ghost hunter, Melisande Blythe, sees what prowls the seams of the world. Her picture-perfect town is a cauldron of paranormal activity and it’s about to boil over.

Mel’s otherworldly sleep disorder could help, but it’s unpredictable, and if she’s not careful, it will put her in the crosshairs of the town’s dearly departed.

Souls are fragile things. If Mel wants to keep hers, she’ll have to do the one thing she promised she’d never do—trust a ghost.

Does the corporeal shade of the town’s founder want her heart or the dark magic wriggling inside her head? Mel must figure it out before the town is dragged into Hell. Or is Hell where she belongs?

A darkly magical, high spice urban fantasy romance with laughs, chills, and an unforgettable auto-immune heroine.

Trigger warnings for horror elements and spice edging into dubcon.
