The Broken Hearts Agency

In a spicy, contemporary fantasy novel, private investigator Linda Villanueva runs a detective agency for troubled souls using her mystical powers—all while wrestling with her own heart. Cebo Campbell, author of Sky Full of Elephants, ​calls it​ “Lush; provocative, and deeply human.” AN EVIL FORCE IS FEASTING ON DESIRE. Evelyn Kendricks is having a day. An overworked manager, she’s been dumped by her toxic boyfriend while struggling to cope with the recent ghost invasion that’s shocked the world. Devastated, she is mysteriously summoned to an eerie townhouse where she meets Linda Villaneuva, a private investigator who runs a secret mystical detective agency. She’s able to sense the emotions of others, especially those suffering from heartache. Linda would like nothing more than to help her latest client, but she soon makes a gruesome discovery: People are losing their memories and wandering the DC streets in a zombie-like daze. Their eyes, demon red. Their skin, blistered, burning... and no one understands why. Panic has begun to consume the city as more folks succumb, putting Evelyn and other residents at risk. In the biggest case of her life, Linda follows a trail of clues to unearth an evil force far deadlier than anything she could’ve imagined. And all the while, she must reckon with the tragedies of her past and the price she’s paid for her supernatural gifts. A layered urban fantasy that serves up spicy romance, titillating mystery, and otherworldly horror, The Broken Hearts Agency is the latest page-turner from an acclaimed storyteller.
