From national bestselling author Lisa Shearin--her first urban fantasy! MEN IN BLACK meets Janet Evanovich in this brand-new fresh and funny series.

We’re Supernatural Protection & Investigations, known as SPI. Things that go bump in the night, the monsters you thought didn’t exist? We battle them and keep you safe. But some supernatural baddies are just too big to contain, even for us…
 
When I moved to New York to become a world famous journalist, I never imagined that snagging a job at a seedy tabloid would change my career path from trashy reporter to undercover agent. I’m Makenna Fraser, a Seer for SPI. I can see through any disguise, shield, or spell that a paranormal pest can come up with. I track down creatures and my partner, Ian Byrne, takes them out.
 
Our cases are generally pretty routine, but a sickle-wielding serial killer has been prowling the city’s subway tunnels. And the murderer’s not human. The fiend in question, a descendant of Grendel—yes, that Grendel—shares his ancestor’s hatred of parties, revelry, and drunkards. And with New Year’s Eve in Times Square only two days away, we need to bag him quickly. Because if we don’t find him—and the organization behind him—by midnight, our secret’s out and everyone’s time is up.

Praise for The Grendel Affair


Praise for THE GRENDEL AFFAIR:

"Lisa Shearin always delivers a great story. Fresh and exciting, humorous and action-packed, THE GRENDEL AFFAIR is urban fantasy at its best." #1 NYT bestselling author Ilona Andrews

"Throw Stephanie Plum, the X-files, add tequila in a blender and experience it all explode in your face with murder, mystery, the supernatural, tea-drinking dragons, and a hot partner who always has your back (and he might have a little more if given half a chance.) Non-stop action, hilarious klutziness, romance, and lethal Lotharios everywhere. What could be better?" NYT bestselling author Rob Thurman

"In Lisa Shearin's SPI FILES series, seer Makenna Fraser brings Southern sass, smarts, and charm to the mean streets of Manhattan as she battles monsters and other magical beings. An action-packed mix of monsters, magic, and mayhem that will keep you turning the pages." NYT bestselling author Jennifer Estep

"One of the best parts of being an author is getting to read books like The Grendel Affair before they're published. One of the most frustrating parts is sitting here asking, 'When does the next one come out?' before book one is even in print. This was great fun, with engaging characters and plenty of fast-paced action. But seriously, when does the next one come out?" --Jim C. Hines, author of Libriomancer
