Detective Thaddeus Ezax is in over his head. He’s the only wizard in Rockshade’s Paranormal Investigations Department, and it was his name that got him the job. The Ezaxs are known as some of the most powerful wizards in the world, but Thaddeus isn’t your average Ezaxs. Is it any wonder his family shuns him? When a kidnapping case is dropped into his lap, Thaddeus must act fast. While most five-year-olds can cast a location spell, Thaddeus can't and is forced to get creative. When he finds himself in possession of a black market werewolf skull with a ghost trapped inside, accidentally releases the spirit, and somehow forms a connection with it, things get even crazier. Sandulf Hunter doesn’t remember dying, but he remembers the last thing he saw before everything went black -- a wizard. All wizards must die! The only problem is, the wizard standing next to him smells too damned good, so good Sandy thinks he might have to keep him. And since wherever Thaddeus goes, Sandulf finds himself yanked along, he might not have a choice in the matter anyway.

Soul Eater

“It’s okay, it’s just…I’m not strong.”


“Not true. You’re keeping us both alive.” The kiss he wanted wouldn’t happen. His fingers slid through Thaddeus’ hand. “Next time, I’m kissing you.” He winked and stepped away. The cold of touching when he wasn’t corporeal wasn’t pleasant.


Ric ran a hand over his hair. “Okay, Thad. What have you got?”


Thad nodded at a pile of folders. “Those are all the victims we’ve found with wings. I’m no expert on warlocks, but I think the cuts are random, which makes me think we have a soul eater.”


“Why?” Sandy tried to sit on the desk, but he couldn’t without sinking into a pile of papers, so Thad pulled out a chair for him. Ric raised an eyebrow at the action, but didn’t comment. When Sandy sat, Thad turned to him.
