Liar City: Book 1 in a Slow Burn Gay Paranormal Romance Trilogy
A murder has Seattle on edge, and it falls to a pacifist empath--and a notorious empath hunter--to find the killer before it's too late
It's the middle of the night when part-time police consultant and full-time empath Reece gets an anonymous call warning him that his detective sister needs his help. At an out-of-the-way Seattle marina, he discovers that three people have been butchered--including the author of the country's strictest anti-empathy bill, which is just days from being passed into law.
Soon, Reece's caller arrives: a shadowy government agent known as The Dead Man, who is rumored to deal exclusively in cases involving empathy. He immediately takes over the investigation, locking out both local PD and the FBI, but, strangely, keeps Reece by his side.
As the two track an ever-growing trail of violence and destruction across Seattle, Reece must navigate a scared and angry city, an irritating attraction to his mysterious agent companion, and a rising fear that perhaps empaths like him aren't all flight and no fight after all...
"Readers will be yearning for more the minute they finish the final page." --Library Journal, starred review, on Starcrossed

Praise for this book
"Reece is an appealing viewpoint character, and chapters from Jamey's perspective are equally engaging. Evan and Reece's chemistry crackles throughout Liar City's nonstop action, but be warned that they do not exchange even one intimate touch. However, as this fantastic paranormal is the first installment in Therin's Sugar & Vice series, hopes abound for the future."--Publishers Weekly, starred review "Evan and Reece's chemistry crackles throughout Liar City's nonstop action" --BookPage, starred review "This promising series opener is packed with action, interesting metaphysical abilities, and a fully realized world with political divisions that feel relevant to the current political climate. The developing romance is likely too subtle for romance readers, but urban fantasy fans will be thrilled with the possibilities for future entries."--Library Journal "Therin conjures up an almost Twin Peaks literary vibe for the launch of her new Sugar & Vice series, which is set in an alternate version of contemporary Seattle. Pair this with the author's flair for crafting captivating characters, as well as her ability to deliver fun, flirtatious bantering between Reece and Evan, and you have a paranormal-infused crime novel that will not only intrigue mystery readers but also offer some crossover appeal to fantasy and romance fans."--Booklist
