Bite of Passage
(2026)(The third book in the Grissel Wells Paranormal Cozy Mysteries series)
A novel by Beverly A Rearick
When artifacts act up, it's time for a vampire with a knack for the dead.
Grissel Wells is used to dealing with cursed artifacts, difficult ghosts, and the occasional team disaster. But when the Paranormal Council discovers that a dangerous cursed doll named Maren was stolen during the recent security breach, what should have been a routine retrieval quickly turns into something far more disturbing.
This is not just a missing artifact. Someone is leading the team through echoes of the past that reveal violent moments from paranormal history. Each artifact activated feels deliberate. Planned. Like the team is being shown something they were never meant to see.
As a mysterious faction begins to surface, Grissel realizes this is not just about a stolen doll. Someone is using artifacts to tell a story. A dangerous one. And if she cannot figure out why, the secrecy of the paranormal world and the safety of her team could both be at risk.
Because some artifacts do not just hold power.
They hold history. And history is about to bite back.
Genre: Urban Fantasy
