I’m a witch and an enforcer for the supernatural guilds of the ancient city of San Marcos, Florida. Break the rules? I break you. Or I did, until I discovered I’m also an empath.Turns out it’s hard to execute monsters when you can feel their feelings. Especially when one of them is a vampire I’m supposed to destroy and absolutely, positively shouldn’t be attracted to.While I’m busy failing at my job, my innkeeper mother has a bigger problem. She’s been possessed by an ancient goddess trying to stage a comeback on earth, making Mom vulnerable in a city spiraling toward panic.And because the universe has a sense of humor, a Fae army is marching on San Marcos, the humans are clueless, and most supernaturals are hiding for their lives.So now it’s up to a reluctant empath witch, a morally questionable vampire, and an innkeeper being taken over by a goddess to stop the persecution and win a war.Easy-peasy. Right?Of Envy and Empaths is the first book in a complete urban fantasy trilogy.
