Synopsis
After one screw up too many, Esmeralda Barnes is shipped off to Seattle to start her first semester of college while living under the strict guardianship of her great aunt. She’s prepared to serve her time in simmering silence when she meets Charlie Campbell, the only person worth talking to at the tiny community college she’s being forced to attend. His efforts to scare her away don’t work, not even when he lefts it slip that he has a psychic twin sister who helps their uncle—a police detective—solve murders. As the former member of a gang, Esmer’s confident she’s tough enough to take anything he throws at her in stride.
Then she has a near death experience. And Charlie is the first person on the scene. It turns out, his sister isn’t psychic but she does have a special connection to Death. She and Charlie both.So maybe this friendship will take a little more work than Esmer originally thought. But hey, it’s better than the gang. Even after being pulled into a string of grisly murder investigations, running with people possessing supernatural abilities, and dealing with the very real presence of a minor goddess, Esmer’s pretty sure hanging with Charlie is better than being back with the gang. Yep, pretty damn sure.

Esmeralda
I threw the door open to the men’s restroom, skidded to a halt just inside, and fell back against the closed door. Straining my ears to hear over the pounding of my heart, I bit back a smile.
“Dammit!” Randi hissed.
“Let’s just go in and get her,” Karen snapped.
“We are not getting caught in the guys’ bathroom! Let the bitch get a bad rep with Security. We’ll hang back and teach her a lesson when no one’s looking. Just keep an eye on the door for now.”
Mumbles and grunts betrayed the rest of the gang’s disappointment.
“Sorry, bitches. Not today.” I glanced at the guy standing at the urinal, giving me an incredulous look over his shoulder. “Hey. How’s it going?”
“Well, I was trying to take a piss before some girl decided to come barreling in.”
“I ain’t some girl,” I said, crossing my arms. “I’m Esmer.”
The guy scoffed. “What kind of name is that?”
“The name a couple of gypsies thought would be wicked pissah,” I said with barely suppressed annoyance.
“Wicked…what?”
“Pissah,” I repeated with a raised eyebrow. “Cool? Grand? Don’t you west coasters have a word for that?”
“Yeah. It’s cool or grand. Where are you from?” he asked, like he was pretty sure I’d been raised by wolves.

I love the cover. The colors and graphics are great.
Thank you! The cover was made by the extremely talented Cora, from Cora Graphics. She always does an amazing job!
I like the sound of these main characters, this sounds like a fun story😁
Hi there! Esmer and Charlie were so much fun to write, rough around the edges but secretly kind, sarcastic, with dry senses of humor. They played off each other very well. They practically wrote the book themselves!
Thank you! Becca had created Jasmine and Charlie, I had created the other characters and we didn’t know what to do with them separately. We got to chatting and came to the wild conclusion to join forces and put our characters in the same world. It worked surprisingly well!
Thanks so much for hosting and helping us spread the word about our book!
To my readers: hi and welcome!
Fun fact about the book: Earlier versions had a completely different ending, which included one of the main characters moving away to a remote island to escape her curse! It wasn’t until I started working on the most recent version in 2019 that I realized the ending had to be revamped to reflect the changes in the characters but also to reflect the changes in myself as a writer. I remember my sister and coauthor’s reaction when I told her about how I was thinking about ending the book. She said, “That’s dark…I love it!” Funnily enough, that has been the general consensus from our reviewers too!
Sounds like a great book.
