Lorelei Clay isn't like other people.
She isn't even like other supernaturals. Her specialties are the nightmares of the living, communication with the dead, and cooking bacon until it's golden brown and perfectly crispy-no magic required.
Six months ago she moved to the ultimate fixer upper, a monstrosity from the Gilded Age that borders the local cemetery in the sleepy Pennsylvania town of Fairhaven. Lorelei is content to spend the next few years in solitude, renovating the house and avoiding humanity, until a missing young woman disrupts her plans. Lorelei's search for the teenager means crossing paths with the residents she's successfully avoided so far, including the human police chief, the coven, a cursed vampire, the assassins guild, the werewolf pack, and the mysterious and infuriatingly alluring owner of The Devil's Playground, an elegant nightclub that caters to the local supernatural clientele.
Lorelei plans to find the girl quickly and return to the privacy of her castle walls before anyone learns her secrets, but you know what they say about the best laid plans...
Dead to the World is the first book in the Crossroads Queen series-an urban fantasy built on mythology, slow-burn tension, small-town atmosphere, and a protagonist whose secrets run deeper than anyone suspects. Perfect for fans of Ilona Andrews, Patricia Briggs, and T. Kingfisher.
