Peculiar Mystery

Sunny Haddock, an animal-loving vegetarian psychic, is stoked to leave California behind to start a new life in the Ozark town of Peculiar with her best friend Chavvah Trimmel. She ups the moving date when Chav goes missing and high tails it to the small town. When the gorgeous Babel Trimmel, Chav's younger brother, (along with the sheriff, the mayor, and some other nice folk) suggests Sunny haul her U-haul and butt back out of town, she's undeterred. Her psychic abilities might be out-of-whack, and blood makes her faint, but she's not a quitter. Besides, she's not about to go anywhere until she finds out what happened to Chavvah. But Sunny has more to deal with than unfriendly townsfolk...like disturbing killer visions and the dog-like animal no one else sees that seems to be stalking her every move. To make matters worse, she is finding Babel to be more irresistible than crack on a donut. Kidnapping, murder, romance, and a town full of people hiding the truth will keep Sunny Haddock busy as she tries to unravel the strange happenings in Peculiar, Missouri.

Normally, I am not a defeatist. You'll never hear anyone who knows me say, "Boy, that Sunny Haddock sure is a quitter." On the contrary, I am an optimist by nature. However, as I lay on the cold concrete floor of Peculiar Paw-On, my wedding dress ripped and stained red, and my stomach cramping so hard I can barely breathe, I am truly ready to cry "uncle." At least now I know it is and who behind the sabotage of my Valentine's Day nuptials, not a what. It doesn't matter, though. As of now, the wedding is off. Weeks away from having her first baby, human psychic Sunny Haddock wants to marry the father and love of her life, coyote shifter Babel Trimmel, on Valentine's Day. Then disaster strikes. And keeps striking. Between the personal maintenance disasters and the theft of their weddings bands, it appears Sunny and Babel's nuptials are doomed. Until their friends in the shifter community of Peculiar, Missouri come to the rescue, determined to give Sunny and Babel a happily-ever-after.

Chavvah Trimmel, a werecoyote and part owner in Sunny's Outlook, has recovered physically from her kidnapping, but emotionally she still has scars. Her best friend Sunny is happily married and knee deep in baby poop, all Chavvah wants to do is focus on the future and forget about the past. When the Tri-State Council of therianthropes decides to hold their annual Jubilee in Peculiar, Chavvah is stoked. It's great for business, and a hunky new shifter in town might be the answer to getting over a crush she has on a certain werewolf shaman-doctor who doesn't know she even exists. A murder in Sunny's Outlook makes ignoring Billy Bob Smith impossible, especially after he insists on trying to keep her safe. But his strange behavior--acting protective, territorial, and annoyed (okay, the annoyed part isn't that strange), has Chavvah worried more about her heart than her safety. It doesn't help that she's hearing voices...again. The town, full of shifters from Arkansas, Kansas, and Missouri, is on lock down. Another murder has everyone on edge. Can Chavvah and her friends find the killer? Or will she or someone she loves be the next victim? Peculiar Mysteries series from USA Today bestselling author Renee George are laugh-out-loud, grip the edge of your seat, and swoon as you fall in love tales of mystery, humor, and romance that take place in the small (fictional) Ozark shifter town of Peculiar, Missouri.

A Halloween Bash, a high-risk pregnancy, and a vengeful prankster--just another "Peculiar" holiday adventure for Sunny and her friends. Glowing Jack-O-Lanterns with gaping maws and jolly gazes were staggered between hay bales inside Delbert and Elbert Johnson's barn. I want to enjoy myself, but I am five months pregnant, which in therianthrope terms means this baby is spreading my ribs wide open and threatening to kick my liver right out my butt. Topping that, my psychic ability, which has been on the fritz since my first pregnancy with my son Jude, is all revved up and in go, go, go mode. But nothing in Peculiar is ever as simple as it appears, and nothing about my psychic ability is ever easy. I am only sure of one thing, someone will die tonight if I don't figure out who the Wolfman is and how to stop the invisible man from killing him. Four days before Halloween, and poor Sunny Haddock is pregnant...again..., but her body isn't the only thing haunting her. She is getting psychic visions of classic horror monsters getting stalked by The Invisible Man. With each new incident, his actions are getting more deadly. Can she figure out the mystery before someone she cares about becomes the next victim?

When an anonymous whistleblower from Peculiar, Missouri alleges that the mayor's wife is a fraud, the Shifter Tri-State Council sends one of their best investigators: werebobcat Wilhelmina "Willy" Boden. Willy's reluctant to investigate her friends who live in the small shifter town, especially handsome werecoyote Brady Corman-but she has a job to do. Yeah. A job that gets a helluva lot more difficult when the town's local pain-in-the-ass, Evelyn Meyers, is found dead. Willie jumps on board the investigation and soon discovers that both the town's beloved Sheriff and Brady's teenaged son are prime suspects, along with half the town. Willy's sense of duty won't let her ignore evidence or turn a blind eye to injustice. Her loyalty to her friends will be tested as she digs deeper into Evelyn's death and a secret kept by most of the town. And her relationship with Brady may be over before it even begins. What's a werebobcat to do when her instincts tell her one thing, and her heart the exact opposite?

Sometimes you ride the road to adventure and sometimes the road rides you, which is exactly how I'd felt as I sat up and picked ditch gravel from my elbow and tall grass from my hair. All I'd wanted was a girls' weekend away from home, a sort of double bachelorette party for two of my friends who were both getting married soon. No guys, no kids, no restaurant. But right now, as I cataloged the bumps and bruises, I only knew two things for certain: First, we were no longer in Reno, and second, Hell had a new name-Assjacket. When human psychic Sunny Trimmel and her three best friends decide to go on a weekend getaway to Reno, they get away all right- into an alternate reality where cats talk, her Shifter friends are stuck in their animal forms, and they're dumped into a rural hell known as Assjacket, West Virginia. Thanks to a vengeful witch's magic gone wrong, the girls are sucked into one of the most peculiar adventures they've ever had. People and landmarks are disappearing all over town. Sunny will have to rely on her faulty psychic visions, her friends, and the crazy townsfolk to solve the mystery-or they might never find their way home. Suck it, Dorothy. Tornadoes have nothing on this twister of a tale. Author Note: This is a Magic & Mayhem/Peculiar Mystery Crossover. It can be read as a standalone, and it does not affect the Peculiar Mysteries world timeline.

The date is set for the Winter Solstice, marking the longest night of year, but a challenge from an unexpected guest, is turning her special day into a fight-club nightmare. And after having postponed the wedding twice already, Chav is starting to think fate hates her guts. On top of that, there are almost forty werewolves camped out on Billy Bob's property, claiming that Chav and Billy Bob are their new leaders. But when Chav tries to get her spirit guide, Brother Wolf, to cough up answers, he ignores her. Worst, the silent deity is sending her BFF Sunny visions that are taking a physical toll on her human friend's all too frail body. Throw in Billy Bob's manipulative father, Chav's pushy mother, and other surprise guests, these two furry lovebirds may never make it to "I do!"
