The Wicked and the Dead (Faery Bargains Book 1)

Description

“I loved The Wicked and the Dead! A sassy, ass-kicking heroine, a deliciously mysterious fae hero, and a wonderful mix of action and romance. Add that to Melissa’s usual great world-building, and I’m already looking forward to book 2!” – Jeaniene Frost, NYT Bestselling Author

Geneviève Crowe makes her living beheading the dead in near-future New Orleans; Draugar, again-walkers, are faster and stronger than most humans, but not venomous until they are a century old. Until then, they shamble and bite.

But now, her magic’s gone sideways, and the only person strong enough to help her is the one man who could tempt her to think about picket fences: Eli Stonecroft, a faery who chose to be a bar-owner in New Orleans rather than live in Elphame.

When human businessmen start turning up as draugar, and the queen of the again-walkers hires Geneviève to figure it out. Now, Gen’s juggling a faery, murder, and magic.
