The only thing more annoying than a ghost flash mob is a rogue vampire attack... Supernatural investigator Mina Summers is only one undercover mission away from the promotion she’s worked for her entire career.

Her investigation leads her to Thinner, a new celebrity-endorsed weight loss company that’s shrouded in mystery and promises seemingly impossible results.

When Thinner’s secrets disrupt the peace between supernaturals and humans—and threaten Carma’s life—Mina’s forced to choose between protecting her dream career or saving the woman she loves.
