About this book

Life in the eccentric bayou town of Mudbug, Louisiana, is rarely quiet, but for Game Warden Jadyn St. James, the peace is shattered when an FBI agent goes missing. With the clock ticking and the feds fumbling, Jadyn finds an unlikely ally in the rugged Sheriff Colt Bertrand. Despite their simmering, unresolved tension, the two must defy federal orders to navigate the treacherous, shadowed swamps before a kidnapping turns into a cold case.

Blending the eerie allure of urban fantasy with the sharp wit of a cozy mystery, this story delivers the perfect supernatural kick. As the stakes rise, the line between the living and the dead blurs, drawing in the meddling, ghostly presence of Helena—a fan-favorite character who guarantees as many laughs as she does headaches. It is a high-stakes race against time where danger lurks behind every cypress tree.

If you are craving a dark romance that balances nail-biting suspense with laugh-out-loud humor, this is your next obsession. The chemistry between Jadyn and Colt crackles against a backdrop of paranormal intrigue, making it a must-read for fans of quirky small-town settings and high-octane adventure. Dive into the bayou and prepare to get lost in an unforgettable, ghostly mystery.

A MUST READ

December 14, 2013

This is a great addition to the Mudbug series. Funny chick lit that had me laughing from the very beginning, while being wrapped around a compelling mystery. I love the characters and how they interact - lots of eccentric characters that make it interesting and entertaining. The swamp environment plays a large role and is almost a character by itself. I can't wait to read the next book in the series - - write fast, Jana! )

Amazing, awesome, scary story

Jadyn and Colt have their hands full with this case as it develops. Raissa and Zach are involved. Then, of course, the whole crew gets involved. The story will take off in several directions and keep you guessing. And get ready for a big surprise. Helena is at her “best” causing multiple mishaps that will have you LOL until tears are falling. Excellent story and series )

Another Entertaining Adventure in Mudbug

January 26, 2014

Ms. Deleon has a rare talent for story telling. Her books are well plotted, and written with a light hand. They are fun and engaging from beginning to end. The latest installment from Mudbug does not disappoint. The bumbling ghost Helena continues to inflict herself on the small group that can see her. This book like the last features the Sherriff Colt and Maryse's Cousin Jadyn prominently. If you haven't tried this series I encourage you to read them in order. They work as stand alone books...
