The Good, the Bad, and the Undead

About this book

The second novel in the addictive bestselling supernatural series begun with Dead Witch Walking. Life as an independent runner is anything but peaceful in the Hollows. Between dodging unpaid bills and managing her volatile new agency, Rachel Morgan must survive Cincinnati's deadliest predator—a serial killer targeting practitioners of ley line magic—before she becomes the next mark. When the Federal Inderlander Bureau drafts her into a homicide investigation, she is thrust into a lethal web of corrupt politics—one dominated by ruthless city councilman Trent Kalamack. 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. Staying alive in the Hollows takes more than quick reflexes and a stash of earthen charms. Kickass Heroine: Armed with homemade charms, leather gear, and a modified paint pistol, Rachel relies on stubborn nerve and quick thinking when brute magical force fails. Paranormal Mystery: Partnered with a skeptical human detective from the FIB, Rachel tracks chilling crime scenes where ley line practitioners are slaughtered without leaving magical residue. Forced Proximity: Sharing a decommissioned church with a living vampire tests Rachel's boundaries, especially when intoxicating predatory pheromones threaten to shatter their fragile pact of restraint. Morally Grey Allies: From a foul-mouthed four-inch pixy to an ancient demon bargaining in bespoke suits, surviving the underworld requires trusting the most dangerous creatures in Cincinnati. Also by This Author: The Witch with No Name, The Undead Pool and Dead Witch Walking.
