Advance praise for DEAD ON THE DELTA

"A sultry start to a promising new series. DEAD ON THE DELTA sizzles with action, danger, and romance." -Jennifer Estep, author of Elemental Assassins

"Unflinching and unforgettable, DEAD ON THE DELTA gnawed its way into
my heart with writing sharp as fairy fangs.  Annabelle's biting wit
covers an uncommonly raw, achingly real vulnerability.  Stacey Jay's
steamy bayou world will make readers sweat--in fear for the next
corpse, and in anticipation for a sequel!"
--Jeri Smith-Ready, author of WVMP Radio and Shade

"Everything you could want in an urban fantasy...strong, vivid writing, unique worldbuilding, and a clever, twisty plot."-Stacia Kane, author of Unholy Ghosts

Once upon a time, fairies were the stuff of bedtime stories and sweet dreams. Then came the mutations, and the dreams became nightmares. Mosquito-size fairies now indulge their taste for human blood—and for most humans, a fairy bite means insanity or death.

Luckily, Annabelle Lee isn’t most humans. The hard-drinking, smart-mouthed, bicycle-riding redhead is immune to fairy venom, and able to do the dirty work most humans can’t. Including helping law enforcement— and Cane Cooper, the bayou’s sexiest detective—collect evidence when a body is discovered outside the fairy-proof barricades of her Louisiana town.

But Annabelle isn’t equipped to deal with the murder of a six-year-old girl or a former lover-turned-FBI snob taking an interest in the case. Suddenly her already bumpy relationship with Cane turns even rockier, and even the most trust-worthy friends become suspects. Annabelle’s life is imploding: between relationship drama, a heartbreaking murder investigation, Breeze-crazed drug runners, and a few too many rum and Cokes, Annabelle is a woman on the run—from her past, toward her future, and into the arms of a darkness waiting just for her. . . .
