Bad Juju (Nepenthe Book 1)

Lux Shimshi is a medium and one of the last mermaids living on the eastern seaboard. She's haunted in more ways than one. At 22 years old all Lux really wanted to do was go to college, be the best DJ and rock her town. If she can manage not to get herself killed.

Lux is a nexus for the supernatural. Born of a merman and shapeshifter, she was thrust into the strange and unknowable as her true heritage. On top of all that, her latent ability to speak to the dead causes its own fair share of trouble.

Bad Juju takes a cross-section of the weird and wonderful world of Lux's in a selection of short stories,(a cycle) each featuring an aspect of the medium's adventures. It's old school noir meets urban fantasy.
