Shadow Cursed — N.L. Hoffmann

Vacation was supposed to be margaritas and naps...not murder scenes and werewolves.

U.S. Marshal Jacey Noble barely unpacks her bags before she's roped into a homicide investigation with Detective Trent Vinolva, a man with the emotional range of a traffic cone and a jawline that should be illegal. He's grumpy, she's mouthy, and somehow they're stuck together chasing down a supernatural killer.

The case takes a hairier turn (literally) when Jacey discovers she's a Shadow, part of a secret order that can manipulate darkness itself. Turns out, she's not just any Shadow… she's the chosen kind. You know, the kind with world-ending daddy issues and a temperamental sister who may or may not be one tantrum away from starting a magical war.

Now, with corruption creeping through the supernatural world and her own powers spiraling, Jacey has to rely on instinct, sarcasm, and the very annoying, but dangerously attractive, Detective Vinolva. Together, they'll uncover the truth, dodge deadly politics, and maybe...just maybe...save the world.

Assuming she doesn't strangle him first.
