Chimera Blues: A Nightingale Novel

Shelley Nightingale is a shapeshifter, born of a long line of shapeshifters tracing their ancestry back to a time when gods still ruled the earth. So are her twin brother, Poe and big sister, Bronte. When their aunt’s sudden death brings them back to quaint little Achak, Indiana, all three Nightingales arrive to pay their respects. Aunt Helen leaves the twins her home and business, and although grieving, Shelley naively believes it will be an opportunity for herself and Poe to live quiet, happy, entirely human lives. After all, nothing bad ever happens in small towns, right?Of course, life is never that easy. The body of a brutally murdered man is left on their aunt’s fresh grave; and the crime is investigated by a young detective much too charming for his—or Shelley’s—own good. As if that weren’t bad enough, toss in kidnappings, werewolves, a haunted mansion, more dead bodies, witches, black magic, and a being seemingly straight out of Greek mythology—The three Nightingales are elated when their guardian, Henry Carlisle finally arrives to help his kids out of the mess they’ve unexpectedly found themselves in. But Henry’s way of helping might be the biggest problem of them all!It's almost enough to make a girl swear off small town life forever! Read more
