The Midwestern resort town of Pemkowet boasts a diverse population: eccentric locals, wealthy summer people, and tourists by the busload; not to mention fairies, sprites, vampires, naiads, ogres and a whole host of eldritch folk, presided over by Hel, a reclusive Norse goddess.

To Daisy Johanssen, fathered by an incubus and raised by a single mother, it s home. And as Hel s enforcer and the designated liaison to the Pemkowet Police Department, it s up to her to ensure relations between the mundane and eldritch communities run smoothly.

But when a young man from a nearby college drowns and signs point to eldritch involvement the town s booming paranormal tourism trade is at stake. Teamed up with her childhood crush, Officer Cody Fairfax, a sexy werewolf on the down-low, Daisy must solve the crime and keep a tight rein on the darker side of her nature. For if she s ever tempted to invoke her demonic birthright, it could accidentally unleash nothing less than Armageddon.
