Imagine Monty Python writes horror...Welcome to the wonderfully horrific world of Bizarro - that dark, forbidding corner of the horror genre where absolutely anything goes and one may delve into the farthest recesses of the authors' warped imaginations. Prepare yourself, dear listener, for a journey into the unknown reaches of terror, from which you can only hope you will return with your sanity intact...

Hailey Parrish is quick witted and irreverent and hasn't had a date in three years. She wanted an ebook reader only because her collection of paperbacks threatened to take over her small living space. Little did she know that the "special offers" that prompted the purchase included much more than a reduced price in exchange for a few ads. The device comes preloaded with the essence of Sebastian Kess, an erudite womanizer with magical abilities from a parallel dimension.

Hailey Parrish used to be an average, everyday human. Boring, in fact. After being possessed by Sebastian Kess, a magically inclined enforcer from the parallel dimension Coursodon, her life took a decidedly less mundane turn. Besides coming to grips with the existence of supernatural beings, she risked her life helping Sebastian and her heart falling for his protégé, Alex Sunderland.

Two kinds of people inhabit my world: Those with loads of magic and those with little or none. The Haves - usually warlords and their henchmen - use their arcane abilities to keep the Have Nots firmly squashed beneath their enchanted thumbs. Unfortunately, I fall into the second category. The only thing worse in this lawless and brutal world than being magically stunted? Being a woman. On my own since age 11, I stayed alive by posing as a boy, stealing to keep my belly full, and never lingering in one place for long. Until I picked the wrong gang to filch a loaf of bread from.

After having her body inhabited by an arrogant womanizer from another dimension, Hailey Parrish had to adjust to the supernatural powers he left behind. If occasional temper-induced destructiveness and the ability to change into a hawk weren’t problematic enough, she saved the parallel dimension of Coursodon from a megalomaniac from an unknown third dimension by transforming into an over-sized, flame-spewing, winged beast. Was her transformation into Birdzilla a one-time fluke, or will her hometown have its own version of the Loch Ness Monster?

Thanks to a "magical transplant" from inter-dimensional enforcer Sebastian Kess, Hailey Parrish can transform into a hawk. When someone begins dismembering hikers along the Appalachian Trail, Sebastian, and Hailey's main squeeze Alex Sunderland, make use of her feathery talents to pursue the killer. Unfortunately, like most things in Hailey's life, there is nothing ordinary about the assignment.

Still reeling over his brother's death, Alex reluctantly assumes his new role as crown prince of Alenquai. Meanwhile, Hailey finds the constraints of life as his fiancée, well, constraining. Along with a lack of privacy and the grueling demands of a humorless protocol aid, her future mother-in-law just might be trying to drive a wedge between the not-so-happy couple. If that isn't bad enough, something more sinister is afoot, forcing Alex and Hailey to put aside their differences to solve a ruinous mystery.
