We’re Supernatural Protection & Investigations, known as SPI. We battle the real monsters of myth and legend, but this Halloween, we’re searching for diamonds…
A gala opening at the Metropolitan Museum of Art has attracted the upper crust of Manhattan—and thieves. A trio of vile harpies attacks the crowd and steals the stars of the exhibition: a colorful cluster of seven cursed diamonds known as the Dragon Eggs.
In the right mage’s hands, each stone can pack a magical wallop. Together they have the power to “cure” the supernaturals of the tristate area—but for many of those vampires and werewolves, that means turning into dust.
I’m Makenna Fraser, a seer for SPI. With the help of my partner, Ian, and the other agents, I have twenty-four hours to prevent total global panic, find the diamonds, and save the supernatural community. No biggie...

Rookie SPI (Supernatural Protection & Investigation) agent Makenna Fraser and partner Ian Byrne are on duty at a museum gala, charged with guarding a collection of rare diamonds on exhibit. The gems are stolen by a trio of harpies, and two of the diamonds have powers that could mean the death of thousands of supernaturals living in New York City if the thieves can use them in a ritual at midnight on Halloween. VERDICT This follow-up to 2014's The Grendel Affair is another fun, breezy adventure that doesn't take itself too seriously. Mac is a lovable heroine--a bit green still and holding on to her folksy charm as she learns how to hold her own in the city's supernatural circles. Fans of Mur Lafferty's The Shambling Guide to New York City will probably enjoy this as well.
