Grissel Wells is back, and this time, the stakes are higher than ever. As the leader of the Paranormal Artifact Retrieval Team, her unique ability to communicate with spirits comes in handy, but it doesn't prepare her for the whirlwind of challenges ahead.
Case in point? Her sister has a mission of her own: getting Grissel to actually date someone. Against her better judgment, Grissel agrees to a night out with her mysterious and annoyingly charming vampire neighbor, Tristan Blackwood. But before she can even decide if this is a terrible idea or just terrifying, duty calls. Her latest mission drags her straight to the seemingly quiet coastal town of Sunset Cove.
Quiet, of course, being wildly misleading.
When a man mysteriously explodes - yes, explodes - during the town's annual Festival of Lights, Grissel and her team find themselves in the middle of a tangled mystery involving secret societies, cursed artifacts, and a festival that may have far more sinister consequences than anyone realizes.
Juggling mysteriously afflicted townsfolk and her team's usual brand of barely-controlled chaos is all in a day's work. But between a team member acting suspicious, pretending to be documentary filmmakers, and a case that refuses to behave, Grissel is beginning to wonder if surviving the mission will take more luck than skill.
Saving the world? Easy.
Surviving her team? Now that's complicated.
