Description

Jessica Moore only has five days to catch a killer.

Thanks to a goblin’s curse, Jessica gets a magical high from humanity’s suffering. While the guilt of thriving on misery could bury a girl, she atones by using her power to hunt the bad guys—until one of them frames her for his crimes.

In desperation, Jessica seeks refuge with the one person she trusts—a satyr named Lucen. Like every member of his paranormal race, Lucen uses his lusty magic to control Boston’s human population, and Jessica isn’t immune to his power.

But the murder victims belong to a rival race, and when they discover Lucen is harboring Jessica, dodging the cops becomes the least of her problems.

With time running out, Jessica faces a danger every bit as serious as the brewing magical war—succumbing to Lucen’s seductive power. Will their tenuous relationship survive, or will more misery prevail?
