Into the Smoke

Blaze loves his ghosts... a little too much sometimes.

To solve a crime, a rebellious gay medium binds himself to the sinister spirit of a murdered hitman.

Spirit medium Blaze is a disaster at life but an expert at death. As a self-proclaimed "spirit therapist," he’s ushered hundreds of souls into the light—without a single loss to the smoke.

But when he discovers Alastor, the vengeful ghost of a murdered hitman, he’s forced to bind himself to the spirit to contain him. Father Judd, Blaze’s unlikely ally and long-time crush, warns him that he’s toying with forces beyond his control—but Blaze is happy to risk his own soul if it means saving another.

The longer Alastor stays in the living realm, the deeper the smoke threatens to corrupt him. But as Blaze races against time to solve his murder, he learns that Alastor isn’t the only one looking for a new victim.
