Hollow Cove was never a dangerous city. Weird and eccentric, maybe. But not dangerous. Until now. A new magic threatens our paranormal community and competes for dominance. Something awakens in the night, and it's a real stinker. Not kidding. I'm a Merlin now, and my plan is simple-get in, protect my family and friends, and defeat this new evil. But it's never that simple. One small misstep could lead to disaster. Soon, I'm neck-high in a giant, stinking mess of crap, and it's steadily rising. But the last thing I expected was for the man I was falling for to threaten everything . . .
