Carissa Andrews
(A Diana Hawthorne Supernatural Mystery, #2)
Publication date: July 23rd 2021
Genres: Adult, Mystery, Urban Fantasy

For as psychic as she is, shit goes sideways far too often around Diana Hawthorne.

Diana now has everything she ever wanted–her memories, and the soul mate she didn’t realize she was missing. There’s just one problem… the old gods expect her to make amends for her absence. And her work starts now.

But time lost at the oracle isn’t the only thing she has to atone for. Her friend Demetri was stripped of his powers–and it was all her fault. If she could just set things right, she’d feel a whole lot better about moving forward. Unfortunately, Demetri wants nothing to do with her and knows exactly how to keep her out of his head.

To make matters worse, in the age of social media, Diana’s abilities have gone viral. People from all over the world are clambering to get on her books. One case, in particular, hits her radar and despite herself, she can’t shake it. A 14-year-old boy is wrapped up with a deadly governmental agency and he’s scared to death. And he should be–they want to weaponize his power.

Torn between what was and what is, Diana struggles to fully embrace who she’s becoming. Will she be able to help Demitri and make things right? Or will her new role mean leaving the past behind?

Calling fans of KF Breene, Shannon Mayer, and Shayne Silvers! If you like snarky-fun humor, gripping supernatural scenes, and twists that leave you spellbound — then you will LOVE Carissa Andrews’ world built especially for Diana Hawthorne.

EXCERPT:

I bite my lip, sighing to myself as I take in the backside of him as he leaves. After a moment, I glance over and catch Ren’s eyebrow quirk up, his romance radar going off.

Holding out a hand, I try to stop him before he starts. “I’ll tell you all about it later.”

“Oooh, so there’s something to know?” he says, his voice bordering on scandalized.

I shake my head. “Demetri is the priority here, remember?”

Ren scrunches up his face, clearly fighting internally. “I s’pose.”

Walking over to my desk, I reach for the receiver on the large, bordering on archaic desk phone. I’m not entirely sure how old it is, but it’s been in my possession since the fifties. Just as I’m about to call Demetri to see if I can pop in for a visit, the phone rings. For the briefest of moments, I figured it was Demetri and his unique ability to always sense when I was going to call him. Then I remembered his gifts are gone.

I shoot a look to Ren, who widens his eyes in an evident question of whether or not I’m going to get it. Clearly, he’s no longer fussed by the phone ringing since I’m here to answer it instead of him.

I pick up the receiver. “Hello?”

“Diana? Glad I caught you. It’s me, Dan. Got a second?” the detective’s voice echoes from the other end.

I’m barely back a day and it’s as if the whole world got the memo.

Dropping into the leather-bound desk chair, I run my hand through my pink hair. There’s so much to do, but if there’s one person besides Demetri I wouldn’t want to blow off, it’s him. “Sure, Dan. What’s up?”

“Well, I have a case here and I don’t know how to make heads or tails of it. But I think it might just be in your wheelhouse. Any chance you have a spare minute to help out? I don’t think it’ll take long.”

I run my hand over my face and sigh. If it’s not one thing, it’s another.

So much for getting back home quickly.

“Of course, what do you need?”
