DEADLY WOMEN, DANGEROUS ROMANCE: Elle Ire knows how to write smart and powerful women who know what they want and go after it—in this case, a plucky bookkeeper from 2022 who loves a good mystery and the owner of a 1920s-era speakeasy who doesn't want to spend eternity somewhere between alive and dead.

DIVERSE LGBTQ PARANORMAL 1920'S ROMANCE: Set against the backdrop of organized crime, the queer love story at the heart of the novel will thrill readers who love powerful female characters who aren't afraid to embrace their flaws and stand strong against the big bads to claim what is theirs.

ABUNDANT WORLD-BUILDING: Ire's talent for building rich worlds that combine teeming historical, paranormal, and romantic elements is special, and this book will thrill readers and keep them guessing from the first twisty-turney sentence.
