Witch Gone Dragon

Witch Gone Dragon completes the Loon Lake series.

A Blackout. A Dead Mayor. A Dragon on the Brink.

Tonya never planned to wake up naked on the beach next to the murdered body of the mayor—a woman her family despised. Now the whole town believes she did it. But she can’t remember that night. Her uncanny hearing and sense of smell should help her uncover the killer. But they aren’t fully hers.
