About this book

What happens when a soothsayer and a witch walk into a voodoo shop to battle a murderous poltergeist? For Kathryn and Cole, it is far from a joke. Kathryn is a talented witch desperate to escape a toxic relationship and reclaim her power, while Cole is a man wrestling with repressed divine foresight and the chaotic fallout of his own abilities. When a tabletop role-playing game brings them together, their instant, electric chemistry is matched only by the supernatural danger lurking in the shadows of New Orleans.

This gripping entry in The Scavenger Series masterfully blends the high-stakes thrills of a paranormal urban fantasy with the irresistible tension of a haunted-romance. As the duo navigates a world teeming with vampires, demons, and alligator shifters, they must learn to trust each other before the gods come to collect their due. It is a world where the dice rolls are rigged by destiny and the ghosts are far more than just background noise.

Perfect for readers who crave the atmospheric grit of American Gods mixed with the slow-burn intensity of a supernatural love story, this book is a must-read. Whether you are a fan of immersive world-building or enemies-to-lovers tropes, this quick, addictive read will leave you spellbound.

Amazing

I’ve already read the first three scavenger books and I was so happy that some of the characters were in this one. New creatures are introduced as well as love matches. It’s a must read. )

This book was better than I expected. I thought it would be a nerdy D&D campaign but turned out to be more supernatural with an American Gods kind of feel. This story spoke to my witchy heart. )

You really never knew what you could encounter next. The plot kept me guessing and there were so many unique surprises I didn't see coming. I loved the...
