Josie’s ready for the lazy days and lemonade that summer has to offer, but instead, she gets a cold and clingy redhead invading her turf. Does this summer have a return policy?
For years, Josie has cultivated a friendship with sexy medical researcher Calder, but she’s been too afraid to take things further. But along with the heat, summer brings a spicy transplant to Arteria Falls—Calder’s gorgeous and genius professor ex-girlfriend. Calder claims not to have known she was coming, but now that she’s arrived, he’s getting a little too close to her. A jealous Josie can’t stand the sight of them together, but she doesn’t have to look at them for long. Just after Josie has a public squabble with Calder’s ex, she’s murdered in her research lab.
Josie and Calder quickly become suspects, so Josie puts her PI license to work to find the real killer. It should be easy—not that many people could possibly want to kill the charming professor, right? But as Josie digs, she discovers that underneath the victim’s beautiful, confident exterior lie ugly secrets and shady schemes. And someone wants to keep those schemes buried deeper than Dracula’s coffin, and they’re willing to sacrifice Josie to do it.
But her life isn’t the only thing in peril—rising tensions between Josie and Calder might just wipe out their relationship before it even begins.
Can Josie salvage things with Calder before the victim’s co-conspirators put her in the morgue too?
These are a fun paranormal series of cozy mysteries, the protagonist is a disabled Vampire (in this world Vamps are rather like humans, but they live longer and cannot eat a LOT of foods - although there are some [wine, chocolate and coconut in all its forms are just three of them!] and they do need blood but they can buy this, oh and they live in Vamp centric towns with a few, well vetted, humans to fulfil some of the jobs), Josie owns and runs a Pet boutique, however, her Grandfather (who is missing) is/was a PI and he was training her up until his disappearance. In this one Josie is upset when her almost boyfriend's ex turns up, she is stunning to look at, but spoiled and annoying and after a rather public spat .... dead!
Now Calder (the almost BF) is in the frame for her murder so Josie, her trusty wheelchair Zippy, and various friends will need to track down what happened and why before Calder ends up in the slammer and Josie ends up on a slab!
