Sam inherited his uncle’s detective agency, The End Street Detective Agency, which happens to lie right at the border or human and paranormal territory. Sam isn’t crazy about paranormal types and doesn’t want to work for them but can’t seem to not do so. He has a vampire lover named Bob, who lives in his house with him, a guardian gargoyle, a familiar cat named Smudge, a resident ghost named Teddy and Bob’s best friend half vampire/half siren Mikail hangs around most of the time.On their last case, Sam and Bob rescued a bunch of missing children and managed to find the parents for all but two. One a vampire, Mal, they sort of kinda adopted and the other has not spoken.As Sam and Bob go to interview schools for Mal, Mikail volunteers to babysit the remaining child, how hard can it be she doesn’t even speak. He gets her name, Eliza, when two sirens attack. Mikail is doing his best just defending himself and Eliza when in the middle of the fight Eliza lets out a scream to end all screams and all hell breaks loose.Mikail manages to kill one siren and out of nowhere a huge dragon appears and the second siren is incinerated. After the dragon turns to a very naked human man, Mikail discovers little Eliza is a dragon princess and this is her guardian, Ryujin – Jin to his friends – who has been looking for her. Jin has to get Eliza home but realizes someone there is trying to kill her, so Sam, Bob and Mikail make the trip over the mountain to help solve the case and find a few answers of their own in the process.Our two authors have given us one of the most fun paranormal/mystery series I’ve read in a long time. The series is sprinkled with humor, there is a vampire named Bob for heaven’s sake, always a good mystery and some pretty hot loving. Poor Sam keeps getting asked what he is, to which he always replies “human”, I don’t think so.This novella focuses on Mikail and Jin and does have some pretty hot scenes in it; Jin is a dragon after all. We get hints about Sam and little Mal’s powers but our authors are going to keep us guessing until the end, which I hope doesn’t come any time soon.Member of the Paranormal Romance Guild  Dual Review Team
