Bad Beginnings: Shady Spirits Book 1

By Jen Bair

Never look a dead man in the face, no matter how blue his eyes are...

Shunned by the living. Hounded by the dead.
Whoever said being different was good obviously couldn't see ghosts.

Enid Walsh moved to Atlanta with simple goals. Start fresh, lay low, and avoid the dead, but when a mystical dog arrives and blue-eyed Ollie discovers her secret, Enid is forced to solve his lover's murder.

The problem?

She's a waitress, not a detective. Murder sounds like a job for the police, until a conspiracy theorist proves the cops are on the take, leaving Enid pitted against a sadistic killer with nowhere to turn.

She blames Ollie for dragging her into this mess, but she'll need his help to avoid becoming a ghost herself. Between the massive cartel moving into the city, police corruption running rampant, and a deadly creature on the prowl, Enid and Ollie must put their heads together to survive.

If only they can figure out where the dog fits into things...

Bad Beginnings is the first book in an exciting new urban fantasy series featuring conspiracy, mystery, heart-stopping action, slow-burn romance, and a motivated Belgian Malinois. (Is there any other kind?)
