“With people who have a heartbeat, yes,” said Eve, striving
not to show her irritation.
Embalming?
They had to be kidding.
“Well, the dead ones won’t give you any trouble. It’s the
families you need to watch out for.
CrossOver Funerals
specializes in
funerals for mixed partnerships. Vamps, wyr, fae – you name it, we do it. But
sometimes the fur flies. Literally.”
“Fine,” said Eve, aware that she wasn’t going to win against
these two. “Whatever you say.”
Until Hunter comes for me and I can get out
of here.
“But meanwhile, I need a place to stay and some clothes.”
“You’ll be paid the basic wage. We can arrange an advance,”
said Sophie. “Helena looks after salaries. And Mother has instructed that one
of the fae safe houses be made available for you – apartment, actually. Ken can
take you there as soon as the service is finished.”
Ken was going to be busy, Eve reflected sourly. Ken had to
teach her how to restore skin – from people who had been clawed to death, by
the look of the guy on the table; Ken had to teach her embalming; Ken had to
drive her around.
No wonder Ken had looked pleased when she threw up in their
fishpond. He probably had months of grievances stored up.
“I think you had better wait down here until Ken is free,”
said Aunt Sophie. “I have a meeting upstairs now, and Helena needs to get me
some information for it.” She nodded to a smaller room visible through an open
doorway. “You can get a cup of tea or coffee in there. Let’s have a meeting
tomorrow morning to discuss your hours. All right?”
Welcome to CrossOver Funerals, thought Eve. In a hidden
pocket of a dimension where shapeshifters and vampires and fae co-existed – and
fought over territory, apparently.
Welcome to her new life.
At least she was safe. For now.

Double
Cross
(Hunting Eve Book 2)
After seven months at Elm Crossing, Eve is adjusting to life
as a mortuary cosmetologist at CrossOver Funerals in Elm Crossing.
Surrounded by shapeshifters, fae and vampires, her life is
not remotely like it was back on Mortal Earth. With an unknown enemy seeking to
kill her to ensure a prophecy can’t be fulfilled, she has been trained in
combat and defense skills – but nothing can prepare Eve for the type of enemy
that finally discovers her hiding place.
When Hunter returns to warn her and flush out her would-be
killer, Eve is shocked to discover that the assassin could be a lot closer than
she had expected.
Just who can she trust?
Does she have the skills to survive in this new world?
In
Double Cros
s, Eve is put to the test.
