both murders. On this investigation, Eve is getting help
from her usual crew, and from an unknown source, which
seems to be otherworldly. But Eve knows that can't be...or
can it?

MELLOW LEMON YELLOW by Mary Kay McComas - Charlotte
Gibson is a CPA. When her father dies, a strange man begins
to -- well -- stalk her. But he seems harmless, sort of.
After all, he is wearing Dorothy's ruby slippers, along
with football pants and a Grateful Dead T-shirt. Charlotte
doesn't remember him, but she soon learns he's Mel, her
imaginary friend from childhood, whom she's brought back to
help her through this major change in her life. And she
wants change. No more blind dates. She's had enough Casper
Milquetoast. She wants hot -- wild -- alpha -- maybe a bit
dangerous. But before she can handle alpha, she has to rid
herself of Mel. No one, however, can make him leave. Only
Charlotte can do that, and only when she's ready to face
her new life.
