In Tempest, Texas, where the supernatural is just, well, normal, a lunch-hour diner robbery isn't just an inconvenience — it's an insult, especially when the thieves manage to incapacitate a room full of supernaturals and make off with a priceless relic from the Moonlight Pack's heir. Ruby Foster, armed with her true crime obsession and shifter senses, finds herself reluctantly paired with her overconfident boss, the very heir whose ring was stolen. This book is a delightful jaunt through a small town brimming with secrets and quirky paranormal residents. You'll find yourself chuckling at the sharp banter and rooting for Ruby as she navigates the mystery, all while trying not to throttle her infuriatingly charming partner. It’s perfect if you're looking for a cozy, witty mystery with a touch of enemies-to-lovers spark and a genuinely intriguing puzzle at its heart.
