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

“Oh, yeah?” Thaddeus snorted while shaking his head. “And what is it you need to get all the way?”


Sandy tried not to react, but the cold washing over him was hard to ignore.


“Please. You said it yourself, I’m a weak mage. Soaking up my powers won’t keep you young. You’re a soul eater, not a god.” Thaddeus frowned. “Though, come to think of it, most gods are portrayed looking old, so maybe you are on your way to becoming a god. I think I can spot a little gray in the stubble there.”


Adams took a step closer to Thaddeus, and Sandy growled. If he’d been alive, he’d tear the fucker’s throat out, paint the living room in blood. This weak creature had put his mate in danger. He deserved to die.


“Not you alone, no.” Grim looked around the room.


Thaddeus glanced at Sandy long enough for Grim to look at him too, but without seeing him.


“You’re the Angel Maker.” The words were directed at Grim, but Thaddeus’ eyes never left Sandy. What he was trying to say, Sandy didn’t know.
