Famous monsters are resurrecting across Mississippi, each one recreating their own gruesome deaths through new victims. Every time Rue pins down one horror legend, another appears with its own bloodthirsty agenda. The summoners raising these vengeful spirits save their best for last, a cruel gift that shatters Rue. But she's not the only one whose heart gets broken.
Once her father realizes what the summoners have done, who they've awakened, there is nowhere they can hide where he can't find them. After this final betrayal, there are no limits on how far he's willing to go to bring down Black Hat, the director, and anyone else who gets in his way.
Including his own daughter.
Contains mature themes.

Gray Witch is book five in the Black Hat Bureau by Hailey Edwards.
I had a blast with these characters. I’m really enjoying the over all story ARC, the mystery has a cozy vibe, the characters are loads of fun, and the world building is great.
Rue has accepted Asa as her mate. She’s doing demon princess stuff, attending challenge matches, and wining over the masses, but she’s caught the eye of Asa’s father, the high king.
We’re off on another mystery. Rue, Asa, and Clay are called in to deal with the ghosts of dead pop culture demon hunters. The case kept me on my toes. It’s got layers upon layers.
Our group of characters have finally hit a comfortable balance. I’m happy that Rue and Asa are a couple now. The romance and mystery are better balanced in this installment. Colby is growing and spreading her wings. I like seeing her change and grow stronger. The overall ARC advanced and we also see Rue coming into her own and facing her foes.
Fans of urban fantasy and mystery will enjoy the Black Hat Bureau series.
Audio: Richardson continues to do a wonderful job brining the voices in this sereis to life. The tone and pacing enhance the overall tale. I look forward to the next audiobook.

About Stephanie Richardson
Winning first place at a storytelling festival as an 11 year old, I knew I was destined for life behind a microphone. Nearly 20 years later, with a background in theatre, professional vocal training, and teaching I finally began my audiobook journey.
I have a degree in history and editing but also studied some dance and musical theatre in college. I love fruit and vegetable gardening and am often obsessively researching varieties of fruit trees and trying to figure out which part of my backyard I can get away with digging up to plant something new in. Family and children are especially important to me and I spent several years teaching music, swimming, and history to elementary-age kids. Now, I’m a part-time narrator, and full-time mom. While not enjoying a book I can be found playing zoo-keeper to my 6 rambunctious kids, playing nerdy board games, or talking to my plants.
About Hailey Edwards
USA Today best-selling author Hailey Edwards writes about questionable applications of otherwise perfectly good magic, the transformative power of love, the family you choose for yourself, and blowing stuff up. Not necessarily all at once. That could get messy.
