Just when Tai Jotun is starting to come to grips with her Kitsune heritage, life throws her more curveballs than an MLB playoff. The ghost of her dead cousin is following her around and wreaking havoc on the renovations at the club. Her grandmother Inari's idea of help gives her a headache, and now she has to learn to control her Strigoi powers on top of everything else.

Join Tai, Nico, and Magoo as they navigate contractors, heartbreak, and the undead.

Excerpt:

All I wanted was a moment to myself. Being back in High School was exhausting. I groaned, contemplating the absurdity of the situation. Having to take summer school classes was lame at the best of times. But taking a High School class when you were eight-plus years out of school was even worse. Especially when it was a class I had technically already passed. Technically. By the skin of my teeth. Which, if I am to understand correctly, is a trait of certain gnomes. Not sure which ones, though.

I came across this gem through Idris’ promotion and wow, I did not expect to get so hooked! Dead and Buried is like stepping into a magical mess you never want to escape from. Tai Jotun is everything: messy, fierce, hilarious, and somehow still relatable in all her supernatural chaos. The ghost cousin scenes had me cackling and cringing in the best way. I picked it up out of curiosity, stayed for the characters, and now I’m hunting down Book 3.

Tai isn’t your average heroine and that’s what makes her unforgettable. She’s a walking disaster wrapped in fox magic, sarcasm, and emotional baggage, and I absolutely adored her. The story hits you with supernatural madness, emotional moments, and humor so sharp it could cut. J.S. Scheffel knows how to write a book that feels alive. From the haunted renovations to Inari’s chaotic advice, everything just works. This was a five-star experience from cover to cover.


About the Author

My love for Sci-fi/Fantasy stories began in the 3rd grade when our teacher read us A Wrinkle In Time. It was cemented with Heinlein's Stranger In A Strange Land several years later.

My love for writing blossomed around the same time. Most of my work was confined to poems and short stories, and I was lucky enough to encounter teachers who encouraged me. But life has a way of getting in the way of your ambitions, and I put aside my pen and paper for many years. Covid and a bout with Breast Cancer helped me to prioritize things, and writing again was at the top of my list.
