Sophie and The Odd Ones

The first book in the Sophie Feegle series introduces readers to Gwen DeMarco’s signature blend of supernatural mystery, snarky heroines, and the weird and wonderful world of urban fantasy.

Synopsis

Sophie Feegle needs a break. Rent is due on her crappy apartment, she’s halfway through her last loaf of bread, and her ambitions don’t stretch much further than keeping her landlord off her back and scraping together enough cash for whiskey at the neighborhood bar.

When a chance encounter with a quiet stranger leads to a job offer at the San Francisco City Morgue, Sophie jumps at it. She never expected to find her calling on the graveyard shift, surrounded by dead bodies and the strange characters that make up the morgue’s staff. Finding out that your friends and coworkers are shifters, ogres, and other non-human creatures is a shock—but Sophie quickly realizes these are her people, and she’s finally found her perfect gig.

And then things get odd. Well… odder. Unusual murders keep ending up on Sophie’s autopsy table, hinting at strange powers at work within the city. Something nefarious is building in San Francisco, and it’s up to Sophie and her friends to thwart the evil on the rise.

What Readers Are Saying

"Amazing I don't know where to start. I LOVED this book. It's been the best and my absolute favorite of the year. First it's so interesting and entertaining. I had to share with my partner and co workers. Our girl is very smart and witty. She's not your normal beauty queen and she definatly isn't a damsel in distress. At the beginning she is in desperate need of a job and through her kindness she is offered a job at the city morgue. This is where the story gets your attention and doesn't stop until the last word. Partly a shifter story it contains all the elements of the 'fae' world complete with ogres. Her boss is an opposum shifter and all her co workers are shifters as well. She's not put off by the unusual smells or gross body parts that arrive at the morgue and that is amazing since this dept handles all the mystical deaths. She is quickly thrust into an entirely new world and all the things that she never knew existed. She's snarky and funny and just so likable that you instantly want her to do well. I can't wait for the next installment in this series. Our author is extremely talented and I am honestly recommending this as time well spent reading it. Give it a try and you will be as big a fan as me. New novel ideas and a great premise for a new series. Thank you Ms. Demarco... you rock!!!!!"
