WELCOME TO PRIVATE PARANORMAL INVESTIGATIONS
A handpicked team trained to solve crimes the regular police can’t touch – crimes of magic My name’s Bonnie Torres. Recent college graduate, magic user and severely unemployed. Until I got a call out of nowhere to interview for a job I hadn’t applied for. It seemed too good to be true but I needed the work…
Two days later I’m a Private Paranormal Investigator – me and Nick, Sharon, Nifty and Pietr. Five twenty-somethings, thrown into an entirely new career in forensic magic, answerable only to the evidence, the truth. The first job we get is a high-profile case – proving that the deaths of two Talents were murder, not suicide.
Worse, there are people who want us to close up shop and go away. We’re sniffing out things they need to keep buried. Looks as if this job is going to get interesting. The only problem is, we’re making it up as we go along…
Book 2
My name is Bonita Torres, and eight months ago I was an unemployed college graduate without a plan.
Now I’m an investigator with the Private Unaffiliated Paranormal Investigations team of New York. Pretty awesome, right? The Cosa Nostradamus, the magical community, isn’t quick to give up its secrets, though. Not even to fellow members. Not even when it’s in their best interests. So we’ve been busting our tails, perfecting our forensic skills, working to gain acceptance.
The team’s tight… but we have our quirks, too. And our Big Dog, Benjamin Venec…well, he’s a special case, all right. But we can’t give up. We’re needed, especially when a case comes along that threatens to pit human against fatae. But one wrong move could cost us everything we’ve worked for….
Book 3
When magic goes wrong, who are you going to call?
The name’s Torres, Bonnie Torres, and I’m a paranormal scene investigator – rooting out the truth about crimes of magic. It’s dangerous and boring and scary and fascinating. Though not everyone in the Cosa Nostradamus is happy we’re around, which can make things… tricky.
Working two cases – looking into a murder for the NYPD, and a rich man’s break-in – should be well within our abilities. But when things start getting weird in the Electric Apple, PUPI is stretched to the limits, trying to keep one step ahead and out of trouble.
Add in rumors of a powerful creature gunning for us and it’s not just our rep on the line this time – if we don’t solve this case, everyone will suffer. Fortunately, around here, when the going gets weird, the weird hire us….
"(PACK OF LIES) is a fast, compelling read….readers will root for (Bonnie) and the team." –RT Book Review, 4 1/2 Stars, Top Pick
Book 4
We knew the job was impossible when we took it...
In my time with PUPI, formally known as Private, Unaffiliated Paranormal Investigations, I've seen a lot. Learned a lot. And not all of it's been good. But what we do - making people accountable for crimes committed with magic - is important work. Still. Even I need to take a break every now and again. Or so I've just been told (ordered).
So hey, vacation. Maybe I'll finally figure out what's going on with the "special bond" between me and the bossman, Benjamin Venec. Venec seems to like that idea - he's invited me down to join him on a jaunt to Philly. But no sooner do I arrive in the City of Brotherly Love than we're called in to look at a dead body. And that's when life gets really complicated....
"Layers of mystery, science, politics, romance, and old-fashioned investigative work mixed with high-tech spellcraft." -Publishers Weekly (starred review) on Pack of Lies
