A Study in ShiftersThe Adventures of Marisol Holmes Book 1by Majanka Verstraete
Genre: YA Paranormal
“The
game is afoot.”
Seventeen-year-old
Marisol Holmes wants to live up to the family legacy; after all, she
is the great-great-great granddaughter of Sherlock Holmes. What's
more Holmesian than a grisly murder? The Conclave, an underground
organization of detectives solving supernatural cases, is giving her
just one chance to catch a killer and join them. After all, as a
half-blood jaguar shifter, Marisol is uniquely qualified to solve
this murder—since every scrap of evidence points toward the culprit
being a fellow jaguar shifter.
“There
is nothing more deceptive than an obvious fact.”
There's
more to this than just evidence. Is one of her own people really
involved, or is this all a ploy to kick Marisol’s mother off the
shifter throne?
When
Marisol discovers her handsome best friend, Roan, is missing, she
realizes Roan may be the killer’s next target. The stakes just got
higher than political intrigue.
"When
you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however
improbable, must be the truth."
Just
when things couldn’t get worse, Marisol’s
ex-boyfriend-turned-nemesis, Mannix, starts leaving sinister clues
for her. In her last case, Mannix broke her heart and ruined her
case, and Marisol isn't sure which is worse. Marisol fears this case
too might be far more personal than she could’ve
imagined.
"Elementary."
It’s
time for Marisol to prove her worth, or her people could fall into
chaos while her best friend loses his life.
This
book is perfect for fans of: shapeshifters, steampunk, paranormal,
high school drama, teen romance, Sherlock Holmes and deadly intrigue.

Mannix won’t be that easy. If she wants to catch him, she’ll have

what she truly wants, even if it puts her new love on a collision
course with her villainous ex?

Marisol
Holmes, great-great-granddaugther of Sherlock Holmes and jaguar
shifter, is being held captive in a castle belonging to her mortal
enemy Mannix, surrounded by people who want her dead. Meanwhile,
Mannix's sidekick Indra is roaming around, pretending to be
Marisol.
The
more Marisol learns about Mannix's plans, the more she realizes she
has to stop him at all costs. Underneath the castle is an underground
labyrinth filled with riddles that were once solved by her famous
ancestor, Sherlock Holmes. The labyrinth holds the powers of ancient
mythological creatures, similar to the power held by the
Sigils.
Mannix
having access to the might of the legendary wolf Fenrir is bad
enough, but to allow him access to other, similarly magnificent
powers, is a recipe for disaster.
Marisol
will have to do whatever it takes to stop Mannix, even if it means
risking her own life.
