Newly graduated law enforcement Agent, Tessa Bale is a witch. Upon surviving her low-paying internship and a sleazy boss, she is handed the most gruesome magickal murder case that could be found.

Succeeding won’t be easy, pitting Tessa against the most vicious creatures magick can create while traversing the slums of Bayton. To survive, she will be forced to make an alliance with a mysterious demon.

Everything about Lee is forbidden. He’s an efficient killer, addictively alluring, and holds powerful magick. Yet, what terrifies Tessa most is not the blood connection they now share, but that she finds herself oddly drawn to him.

But with a serial murderer on the loose, literal zombies walking the streets, and a brutal gang ex-lover on the rampage, Tessa must use every trick in her arsenal if she hopes to see the dawn.

This is the second release by Ysadora Sonderling, following the debut stand-alone novel Heaven for a Predator. Plenty of spice, a little exhibitionism and a love triangle that gets messy, along with hunting down a crazed serial killer raising the dead. This is the first book of The Bayton Agency series, with the second coming out in Q2, 2025.
