You can't put 'Just saved the world (you're welcome)' on a resume. Ask me how I know.

Jude's drifting in Montreal, low on both funds and purpose. Eking out a normal life is surprisingly difficult for someone whose strongest marketable skill is her ability to manipulate gravity. Who knew landing a steady job would be a bigger challenge than hunting supernatural creatures?

Then her scant few acquaintances begin turning up dead around the city, their hearts missing. All signs point to a vicious shade-a Faerie cursed to live forever in a ghoulish fate worse than death-as the culprit. But Jude's never even heard of shades before now, so why do these killings seem designed to bait her?

Racing to find the answer and stop the murders brings her to old friends, new enemies and every shifty variation in-between. While risking life and limb battling a sinister Faerie monster may not be 'normal, ' it's a routine Jude knows by heart.

And it beats working retail.
