The show must go on...even when there's been a murder.

I'm Paige Harper and I'm still trying to get back on my feet after being kidnapped. When my housemate, Darron, offers me a gig cleaning at the theater where he's directing his first play, it seems like an easy job. Until the girl playing Titania falls to her death during rehearsal.

Of course, I'm gonna help Darron find the murderer. But somehow I also get roped into taking a part on stage too.

Even worse, Nico, the one-eyed PI werewolf, joins the cast as well - as my love interest. It's beyond awkward because I accidentally "claimed" Nico during our recent jaunt into Faerieland. And he claimed me back. This has created a sort of magical bond that's pushed the underlying simmer between us into a full boil. He can't keep his hands off me; and I want to claw the eyes out of every girl that looks at him.

And that includes his ex-girlfriend, Mavis. She's in town tracking down a lead on O.H.I.O. - the super-secret anti-supe organization that seems to be behind the Great Ghosting.

Jealousy, paranoia, sexual antics, a brainwashed zombie vampire, and all the drama of community theatre - both on stage and off - are going to make this my hardest case yet.

If I can't keep my head down - and my pants on - I'm afraid that this time it'll truly be curtains for me.
