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.

Being a detective was so much more action-filled in the movies.


“Did she mention someone scaring her? Perhaps someone coming to her workplace acting weird?” Thaddeus’ eyes swept over the boyfriend’s face. Sandy didn’t remember whose boyfriend he was, he’d only skimmed through the list of names while Thaddeus had driven.


He shouldn’t be driving when he could only use one hand, he could get hurt. Sandy had argued with him in the parking lot, but since Thaddeus refused to make him solid enough so he could drive, they didn’t have many options.


“No.” The boyfriend shook his head. “Why are you here? I’ve already answered these questions.”


“I know, and I’m sorry to bother you again—”


“What has changed?” The boyfriend was glaring now, and Sandy moved closer to Thaddeus.


“No. You haven’t been involved before. I’ve talked to all the fuckers working this case, all dumb, brutish guys. Why have they sent you? You’re not like them.”
