Grave Beginnings (A Beyond the Veil Mystery #1)

The dead call to Jude. His heart calls to Angel. Both could be his undoing.Former Homicide Detective Jude Holt’s gift for raising the dead is as dangerous as it is useful. His transfer from the human division to the supernatural means facing darker crimes, impossible cases—and one infuriatingly hot new partner.

Angel Mao has seen plenty of rookies burn out fast. But Jude is stubborn, reckless, quirky, and far too tempting for a human whose magic attracts shadow monsters at every turn. Together, they’re the only ones who can stop a murderer from ripping open the Veil and leaving bodies in their wake.

Jude isn't sure raising the dead can help him solve a murder—or stay alive long enough to try. But survival means trusting his partner with his life, and his heart.

They transferred me to the Supernatural Enforcement Division because I can see dead people. My new partner is a hot shifter whose idea of a welcome gift is a warning snarl. Between his resting murder-face and my sudden ability to attract every sup in the city, our "grumpy/sunshine" dynamic is less "cute romance" and more "impending disaster." Found family? More like found a bunch of cryptids who think I'm a supernatural juice box.
