Strange Lights

By Mira González

Parenting is never easy, but it's a hell of a lot harder when your toddler is a chupacabra.

Paranormal investigator and cryptozoologist Reggie has embraced her fate as parent to an adopted toddler, Eldi--a blood-sucking chupacabra with a fondness for goats. Reggie wants nothing more than to put her complicated past in the rearview mirror and fade into as much obscurity as her toddler will allow. But a rash of UFOs in the night sky and a couple of crop-circle-carving Roombas force Reggie into an investigation that attracts the attention of an old enemy, an anti-supernatural agency hunting for creatures like Eldi. To outwit them, Reggie must team up with Calvin: a podcaster-turned-werewolf whose charm is a real threat to Reggie's rule against romantic attachments.

With Reggie's history quickly catching up to her and Eldi in the agency's crosshairs, any shred of normalcy evaporates. Reggie must decide: Can she confront her dark past to save Eldi--and an entire alien species--from getting wiped out of the universe?

For fans of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy and Kevin Wilson's Nothing to See Here, Strange Lights is a joyride in a sentient Winnebago with a quirky cast of cryptids.
