Death on Denial
E.J. Russell
DOA becomes BRB when this client goes MIA…
When
I agreed to accompany my selkie boyfriend on a private boat trip, I
didn’t realize the invitation included a swim. In the Pacific. In
November. Naked. And I certainly didn’t expect to have our swim derailed
the instant I got in the water—holy crap, that’s c-c-cold—by a literal boatload of selkie clan leaders.
Climbing
out of the water in front of them—did I mention naked? Yeah, way to
make a brilliant first impression. Then things get worse: I get served.
Not in the metaphorical sense, either. Nope, I’m being sued.
By Death.
Well,
not Death precisely, but an Ankou—a Celtic psychopomp who escorts the
departed to their final destinations. This guy is miffed that his
workload has increased exponentially, which he blames on my actions in
Sheol on an earlier case. I’m not about to take the heat when eons of
shady demon shenanigans finally come home to roost, but here at Quest
Investigations, we aid any and all supernatural folk in need—especially
if they’ll drop their specious lawsuits against the agency’s lone human.
When
the Ankou skips out on us, though, all hell breaks loose. Because
without anyone to lead them on, the dearly departed become nearly
departed and stick around to party hearty. Now it’s not just the selkie
leaders complicating my love life—it’s the ex-living as well.
And when one of the ex-living decides not to remain ex? Things get really complicated, not to mention deadly.
Dammit.
