I was conceived to start the apocalypse. Now I’ve been tasked with stopping one.
Half-demon Whiskey Vex was born because her father wanted to start an apocalypse, but he did not anticipate her mother raising her with a conscience.
Now she keeps the humans and preternaturals in her adopted Southern town safe under the guise of being a paranormal investigator. She also works for Fred—the Powers That Be—gathering cursed objects and removing them from the human world.
When someone tries to raise War, one of the Four Horsemen, Fred assigns Whiskey to discover who, how, and why. All on an impossibly tight deadline.
Whiskey has only tackled one big case, and she failed. Since then, she has kept to low-level assignments affecting no more than a dozen people.
If she does not solve this case, the world—including her adopted small town—will cease to exist. Once the scales tip in a horseman’s favor, nothing can stop the apocalypse.

Whiskey Vex
Whiskey Vex is a half-demon paranormal investigator protecting humans and preternaturals in her adopted Southern town.
Her assignments from Fred—the Powers That Be—send her after cursed objects and supernatural threats with consequences far larger than the town knows.
Whiskey Neat is Book 1 and the published starting point.
Good for readers who want:
- A competent, snarky half-demon heroine.
- Paranormal investigations and cursed-object cases.
- Small-town supernatural communities.
- Action, mystery, and apocalypse-level stakes.
- A female-led urban fantasy rather than a couple-first romance.
Maybe skip if:
- Child death or child endangerment are not a fit.
- You want a romance-first story with a central couple HEA.
- Apocalypse threats, violence, or supernatural peril are not a fit.
