About This Audiobook

Detective Richelle Dadd’s second life is worse than her first—literally. The Gypsy curse that killed her left her undead, a single mother to a snarky demon toddler, and buried under a mountain of supernatural bureaucracy. J.R. Rain’s hard-boiled wit collides with gothic horror here, delivering a noir mystery where the real monster isn’t the ghoul in the alley but the ex-husband skimming child support from the afterlife. The pacing is relentless, flipping between icy case work and chaotic home life with a mom who’s still learning to keep a house ghost-free. Ilyana Kadushin’s narration crackles with Richelle’s sarcasm and the creeping dread of a world where curses outlive their casters. It’s a rare audiobook that balances domestic horror with supernatural intrigue without ever feeling schlocky—just gloriously unhinged. Expect a story that’s equal parts *The Exorcist* and *The Thin Man*, with a heroine who’d rather take a bullet than change another diaper in the middle of a crime scene.
