????? "A darkly comic treat for horror fans."
Everyone is dying to make it in Hollywood. Especially Davis Lowe. Unfortunately, he keeps finding only second unit work, taking the jobs the real directors can’t—or won’t—do. Together with cameraman Jared Mane and film editor Terrence “Otter” Ottman, he runs a tiny, independent production company off (waaaay off) the Sunset Strip. Davis spends his days scrounging for crumbs left by the big studios while he puts off marrying the lovely aspiring actress Susan Campbell.
Enter Torsten Gross: enigmatic German director whose violent horror films seem a little too real for Davis and his crew. After signing on to work for the filmmaker and his brutal leading man Lars Krieg, the boys are faced with a rash of actress suicides and a police investigation in the midst of a movie shoot stranger than anything Hollywood could dream up.
Soon Davis will race to save those he cares about from the clutches of a man who will stop at nothing to finish production, as he unravels a mystery that will have him doubting the art of filmmaking...and reality itself.

As the descendant of an Irish witch and the owner of a New Age tea shop, intuitive gemologist Shay Myers has been living her most authentic life since moving home to California’s scenic Monterey Peninsula. But in the latest Crystals & CuriousiTEAS Mystery from USA Today bestselling author Lauren Elliott, not even her heightened senses can predict how to run a business—or catch a killer . . . Self-taught “seer” Shay has much to learn as autumn hits the quaint coastal town of Bray Harbor.

At first, the evening goes off without a hitch—until a customer goes from chatty to dead in a flash, poisoned after sipping a toxic substance recently grown in the greenhouse. Worse, Shay’s assistant is suspected of intentionally serving the lethal brew. Now, aided only by Liam and her dog Spirit, Shay must exonerate her employee and save the future of Crystals & CuriosiTeas. But when clues start lining up like leaves in a teacup, she’ll need to understand the signs right in front of her to catch the manipulative murderer before it’s too late . . .
