Plot Summary
Messy breakup? Want your stuff back from your ex? August can help, and he might just save the world in the process.
August Shade has found his niche. The cynical shapeshifter knows all too well that most relationships don’t last. He also knows that after a messy breakup, most people–human or otherwise–just want two things: their stuff, and to never see their ex again. For a reasonable fee, August can help. He’s a post-relationship personal effects repossession specialist. Satisfaction not guaranteed, but at least you’ll have your favorite whatever back.
Join August on a hilarious series of misadventures full of paranormal creatures, government conspiracies, ill-fated romances, and near-death experiences. Each new case drags him deeper into a world of nefarious plots with world-ending stakes. Haunted by a dark past and grappling with a penchant for bad decisions, August may not be the hero we want. Or the hero we need. Or even much of a hero at all, honestly.
He does need a few bucks, though, so he'll take the job.
The fun begins in An Oracle Walks into a Bar:
When a horoscope-writing oracle hires shapeshifter August Shade to repo her magic eyeball, he knows the job is going to suck. One, he hates horoscopes. Two, he hates people that read horoscopes. Three, she hasn’t even lost her eyeball… yet.
August's misadventures continue in A Scarecrow Wins an Award:
When you’re a post-relationship personal effects repossession specialist, some jobs just aren’t worth the trouble. Especially when they involve ghosts, coblyns, and conspiracies.
Now, the cranky shapeshifter is in farm country–definitely not his natural habitat–and mixed up with two feuding hag sisters, a loan sharking coblyn, and a mysterious woman with a very scary ex. The manure hits the fan when his best friend blows the lid off a major conspiracy and lands August in a heap of trouble. August’s efforts to keep a low profile are falling apart, and he’s learning–quite literally–that you reap what you sow.
The shapeshifter's journey finds its watery end in A Siren Sings Her Heart Out.
A chance encounter with a siren sends August into the deep end of a very big lake. Will plumbing its depths reveal a world-changing discovery, or send him to a watery grave?
For a guy that’s tried to not make waves, life is getting pretty choppy. It’s sink or swim for the poor repo man. If he’s going down, though, August will make sure he goes down singing.
