Lacey McCray has a secret. And it might just get her killed.
Lacey isn’t just a grad student living in Los Angeles. She’s also a Class 2 Animagus or a witch who can shift into any animal she pleases. When her grad school scholarship mysteriously gets canceled, she receives a strange offer to work for a firm that specializes in collecting missing supernatural treasures. Desperate to make … collecting missing supernatural treasures. Desperate to make enough money to pay her tuition, Lacey agrees to give it a try.
After breaking into a troll’s lair to retrieve an enchanted necklace, Lacey starts to think that she’s a natural. And the money’s not half bad either
It doesn’t take long before she’s ruffled the feathers of one of the firm’s top agents named Stryker Smith. Oh, and then there’s the young human cop who keeps turning up wherever Lacey happens to be.
Just when Lacey thinks she’s made enough money to pay her rent and go back to being a full-time grad student, a rogue vampire threatens the life of someone she loves. Lacey McCray will find out just how good she actually is at this new supernatural job.
This is my first book by Lysa Daley and I am very impressed. The story is well written and the flow is amazing. I loved the characters and the banter they shared. Lacey is a great character. She is strong, caring, intelligent and super quick. There is a lot of action, suspense, drama, and mystery throughout the entire story. It has so many twists and turns that it will keep you on the edge of your seat. It is definitely worth reading and doesn’t disappoint. I can’t wait to read the next in the series.

All that Lacey McCray wanted to do was go to grad school and ignore her supernatural background, but luck was not on her side. She gets summoned to the Bursar’s office and finds out that her tuition hasn’t been paid and no one has been able to reach her father, she has 5 days to make payment or be canceled from the program. Then she gets home to find a note from her landlord saying she is 3 months behind rent and will be evicted. Desperate to make money, she agrees to a strange offer to work for a firm that specializes in collecting supernatural treasures and capturing supernatural bad guys. With no other options, she can’t say no to the offer and the pay.
You soon discover that Lacey is a Class 2 Animagus. This means she is a witch that has the ability to shift into small animals, perfect for a job that requires sneaking into places, ease dropping on conversations, and getting out of sticky situations.
Lacey is a bit naïve, but as the book progresses you see her develop into a strong, confident, kick a** seeker and retriever. This is more than your typical paranormal book. It perfectly combines mystery, suspense, fantasy, and even a touch of a potential romance.

I liked this first book in this series by Lysa Daley as her character struggled with everyday human problems which were of course compounded by her “assignments” to raise money for her magic college tuition and past due rent. Each one of her assignments caused her to more often use the magical gifts she had, but was afraid to really use to their fullest. I am looking forward to reading the second book in this series. (03/17/2018 – This is a rather late voluntary review of an Advanced Reader Copy of this book from Hidden Gems Books.)
Lacey finds herself in a financial bind….Her dad is missing??? School is about to start and she is getting kicked out of her apartment. Looking for magic necklaces and helmets. A cute cop is following her. How will it all turn out? I loved this fun action packed story and I am looking forward to reading the entire series!
