An Amateur Witch's Guide to Murder (2025)
The Dresden Files meets the queer-chaos of Gideon the Ninth. Mateo Borrero has ninety-nine problems, and they all hinge on the fact that his bruja mother turned him into the vessel for an ancient evil and then bounced. He needs money for an exorcism. Enter Topher, who's cursed, rich, (kind of cute), and too clueless to clock that Mateo’s never had a client before.
