Mary Catherine “Mick” Kelly McClellan is officially dead β€” and she’d like to keep it that way.

She was once a supernatural Pinkerton agent who made her living from the last breath of the dying. She didn’t leave that life so much as survive it. What she built instead was small and hard-earned: a homestead, a family, a life that didn’t depend on draining power from the dying.

Then someone starts using death magic in her backyard. Women murdered, their power stripped. Livestock killed as a warning β€” or a test. Mick knows this kind of magic intimately. She also knows that whoever is wielding it is strong enough that stopping them will cost her. The only question is how much. Her past. Her power. Maybe everything she survived to build.

Bad Magic and WhiskeyΒ is the first novel in the Bad Magic Mick Kelly series β€” dark historical fantasy set in an America where power leaves scars and second chances are never clean.
