When Morgan Burns steps into this treacherous role, they both wonder: will Morgan's fate be any different?

"Another Dead Intern" catapults you into a world where magic and the mundane intertwine. Hemlock doesn't just solve mysteries; she navigates a realm fraught with grungy pixies, enigmatic Fae royals, and the less-than-stellar musical endeavors of a half-demon.

Will Morgan outlast the curse of Hemlock’s intern history, or will he become another casualty in a series of unfortunate events?

Editorial Reviews

Review

Early reviews are raving
    • Hemlock and Burns are the new Holmes and Watson.
    • An amazing adventure with a dash of sarcasm, mixed with magic and an ass kicking.
    • Randomly came across this, and thought the title sounded interesting. Didn't even really bother reading the synopsis. Started reading it, and over the course of maybe a day, finished it.
    • A funny adventure with gory and quirky plot twists and turns!
    • What a fun world. This was an easy fast paced read for me. The story never let up. There were great characters throughout and they mostly felt real.

      5.0 out of 5 stars Enjoyable mix of humor, fantasy and detective novel
      Reviewed in the United States on March 27, 2021
      Verified Purchase
      I particularly enjoy this genre which I'd describe as snarky urban fantasy/mystery but have trouble finding enough of it to read so I was happy to discover another author who excels at this particular mix. Hemlock is an outcast Faerie who's turned to private investigating. Morgan is her new, somewhat bumbling partner, just another in a line of assistants as none of her "interns" seem to survive in her company for long. This book reads a bit like the first in a series in that time is spent setting up the universe and characters that likely would be unnecessary in later outings, so some readers may find it a bit slow in parts but I was continually intrigued by the original twists and turns of the plot. The case Hemlock and Morgan are working on as they get to know each other was both exciting and terrifying as night "mares" take on a more tangible and sinister form, wreaking havoc along the way. There is both a lot of plot and a lot of characters, which I didn't mind, but you have to pay attention as some things that seem like throwaways at first, become crucial to the story later on. Great mix of humor, absurd situations, and supernatural beings with all the thrills and chills of a good PI/mystery and horror novel.

      5.0 out of 5 stars A great new Paranormal Investigator series!
      Reviewed in the United States on November 6, 2019
      Verified Purchase
      I have read quite a few new Paranormal Investigation books, that I've not bothered to review because they were carbon copies of themselves. This book was different enough that I had some fun reading through it and learning the lore.
      Firstly, to start with the bad parts, I wasn't sure about the universe of the book, because the main protagonist experiences some supernatural strangeness in his 'job interview' but he doesn't react. This made me question whether this universe was thought out at all.
      Anyway, I stuck with it and it didn't disappoint.
      I really came to like both protagonists and the story really stood out over the usual Urban Fantasy Paranormal Investigation story.
      I would absolutely recommend that you give this book a chance, because it was really fantastic!

      This is a fun light read with engaging characters. It’s only missing the fifth star due to the occasional contradictory turn of phrases like “looked down with raised eyes” and “the song hung mutely”. Well worth the read and looking forward to more adventures in this world.

      Unless, of course, you're a member of the Sithe and have volunteered to be an intern ! It isn't always Hemlock's fault, not really, not when you get down to the nitty gritty, I mean anyone could've fallen and landed on iron spikes, it's just that iron is lethal to the Fae.
      Enter Morgan, applying for a somewhat strange advert for an intern in the situations vacant pages. Although he tries his hardest, he can't nail the landing from a transportation portal and he's very good at saying the wrong thing to the wrong being.
      Funny, snarky, well paced, interesting and a great storyline, this is well worth reading - in fact, it was one of the books I didn't want to put down, or to finish reading. Thanks heavens there's the next volume to look forward to.
      Very highly recommended.

      Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 20, 2021

      I had such a great time with this book, a lovely bit of crime-stopping in an urban fantasy setting.

      Personally I would have liked a little more info on the reasoning behind the overall crime (will make sense when you have read it) as I do think whilst it was mentioned it was slightly glossed over. However I still really enjoyed the not knowing what was going on much like the Morgan Burns character. So you could relate to his fish-out-of-water issues.

      The play between the characters was great and the author was able to tell you the constraints of his world without it being an exposition dump.

      I enjoyed the humour and am really interested to find out what happens in future books for Hemlock Connal.
