When life sucks, and so does your next client. Halloween is just around the corner, and life is bringing paranormal psychologist Matilda Schmidt all tricks and no treats. Ghosts haunt her in the organic produce aisle, she's been roped into attending a costume party she'd sell her soul to avoid, and the delicious demigod who once warmed her couch is taking his clients and his attentions elsewhere. But when even her lethal hit man lover fails to recognize the threat lurking in the shadows, Matilda finds herself confronted with one hell of a problem: surrender what's left of the life she knew, or face losing herself to the madness that took her mother.
