Two mortals. One Wraith. Zero rules . . .
Dáinn the devourer has spent the past two hundred years of his undead life unwillingly bound to a dark witch, Ludmilla.
When she commands him to devour the soul of a formidable rival witch, Jasper Prescott, Dáinn is stopped in his tracks by a human.
Birdie Rhodes, aspiring historian and sometimes shopgirl, works for Jasper. But what dark magic
could a human like Birdie possess to stop a wraith?
Now, Jasper is back from the brink and obsessed with the woman who somehow saved him – and the monster who tried to take him. And all three are set on a path that could lead to their destiny . . . or their ruin.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Burr Island, a beautiful East Coast summer destination replete with ancient magic, witches, and wraiths, forms the backdrop for this equally campy and spicy why choose paranormal romance from bestseller Rath (Pucking Around). History doctoral student Virginia "Birdie" Rhodes has no idea that magic is real when she takes a summer assistantship with Burr Island's historical society and a part-time job at the local apothecary shop. Her attraction to the shop's lonely, cantankerous owner, Jasper Prescott—who, unbeknownst to her, is the High Priest of the Burr Island Coven—is undeniable, but he's determined to protect Birdie from the supernatural and keep their relationship professional. Meanwhile, Birdie also attracts the attention of soul-devouring wraith Dáinn, sent to kill Jasper and steal the coven's spell books on behalf of his enslaver. The plot tracks the high stakes and high-heat entanglement between a wraith in search of his freedom, a witch desperate to protect his coven, and the human who captivates them both. Rath's paranormal worldbuilding is admirably detailed, but the extensive lore slows the pace. The abrupt sexual turn of Birdie and Jasper's relationship is less convincing than the instalove between her and Dáinn, but both result in truly sizzling moments. Scene-stealing side characters, especially elderly witch Hortense and Pickles the cat, add levity on the way to a cliff-hanger ending. Rath's fans will eat this up.
