When everyone's existence depends on the lies they tell, trust doesn't come easy.
Ivy's neighbors have a secret. They aren't human. But Ivy has a secret, too. She knows. As long as everyone keeps quiet, she's happy working as a P.I. b day and chillaxing with her BFF Florian, a vampire, by night. When a routine pickup drops her in the middle of a murder, her two worlds collide. While Florian knows how to throw a punch, deep down he's a softie. His idea of scary? Running out of hair product. Its time Ivy faced facts. Even with a vampire on stand-by, one gal can only kick so many asses.
For help, she must put her faith in others. A human, who might just be the one. A demon, who will, for a price, open the doors to her heritage. And a werewolf, who wants to protect her from herself.
Torn between these men, Ivy must tread carefully, because one wants her heart, one wants her body, and one wants her dead.

EXCERPT :
Parker placed both
elbows on the table, rested his chin on one hand and regarded me for a moment.
“So, Ivy. A P.I., eh?” He smacked his lips. “Don’t take this the wrong way, but
you don’t exactly look like Philip Marlowe.”
“Your point
being?” I squinted.
“You’re tiny. I
mean, I’m sure you can take care of yourself. What if you need to overpower a
200-pound man, though? Do you at least know how to shoot your gun?”
“Shoot?” I
scrunched my nose. “Yes. Aim and hit the target? Not so much. The last guy who
made fun of my size still walks with a limp.”
“See, you hit one
target right.” His eyes glinted.
I lifted my gaze.
“I was aiming for his groin.” I squished my cupcake and shook my head. “No, I
don’t carry a gun. And believe it or not, my size is an advantage. If you were
an unfaithful husband and I followed you to a bar, trust me, I’d go unnoticed
among the usual throng of people.”
Parker’s grin
turned mischievous. “Well, Veronica Mars, I hate to be the bearer of bad news.”
His voice reverberated through my nervous system. “I’d notice you.” He sipped
his coffee. “If I was an unfaithful husband, that is.”
