Lupi 08 - Death Magic

she’d thought—hoped—he’d gone on into the light or something, since she hadn’t seen him in over a month.
    Death didn’t seem to be any more fair than life. Why had she gotten stuck with Drummond’s ghost? She hadn’t killed him. “How do you know whose grave I’m visiting?” Lily demanded.
    He snorted. “I can read.”
    “And you know who Helen was.”
    “Did you think I didn’t do any digging before I set out to get you?”
    Drummond might have gone spectacularly wrong, but he’d been a good agent before that—competent, thorough, and bright. Of course he knew who Helen was, knew that Lily had killed her. God only knew how much else he’d dug up about her.
    Lily stood and started for her car.
    Drummond followed, damn him. “Not going to ask me where I’ve been?”
    She reached the path and kept walking.
    “Most people are curious about the afterlife.”
    “I wouldn’t believe anything you told me anyway, so why ask?”
    He scowled. “I was straight with you. Once we made a deal, I told it straight.”
    True. And he’d risked his life to rescue twenty-two homeless people, then given it to save a friend. But first he’d betrayed the Bureau, tried to kill Lily’s boss, conspired in the murder of a U.S. senator, and gotten Lily thrown in jail. “The only thing I want to know is why you’re here. Why are you pestering me?”
    “Damned if I know, except . . . I’ve got this idea you’re going to need me. I don’t know when or how, but you will. It’s . . .” He shrugged stiffly. “I guess I’m paying a debt.”
    “The debt’s forgiven. Go away.”
    “We don’t always get what we want, do we?”

    NIGHT SEASON
    Pregnancy has turned FBI Agent Cynna Weaver’s whole life upside down. Lupus sorcerer Cullen Seabourne is thrilled to be the father, but what does Cynna know about kids? Her mother was a drunk. Her father abandoned them. Or so she’s always believed.
     
    As Cynna is trying to wrap her head around this problem, a new one pops up, in the form of a delegation from another realm. They want to take Cynna and Cullen back with them—to meet her long-lost father and find a mysterious medallion. But when these two born cynics land in a world where magic is commonplace and night never ends, their only way home lies in tracking down the missing medallion—one also sought by powerful beings who will do anything to claim it . . .
