Grave Alchemy

Zoey Graveley Mystery Book 1

What would you bring home from a working vacation? Normal people stuff their bags with cheap souvenirs—Zoey isn’t exactly normal, she brought home a manipulative gargoyle. Zoey Gravely’s trip to the west coast is a washout. She’s had enough of the fickle weather and is actually looking forward to returning to her mundane life; running the family funeral home and reaping souls. Well, maybe not the funeral home part. Her wish for one last evening alone flies out the window, when a mouthy gargoyle, named Basil, worms his way into her heart. After returning home to what was supposed be a quiet life, Zoey finds that it’s anything but. Her home is being turned upside down and someone has maxed out her credit cards. Zoey’s curiosity is aroused when souls disappear and she discovers a hidden room. Things get a whole lost worse when Zoey, egged on by Basil, sets out to solve the murder of an old friend. When the truth is exposed, will Zoey break out of her cage? Or will she fall prey to her own insecurities and the evil lurking in plain sight?
