A woman discovers the literal skeleton in her family’s closet in the first Family Skeleton Mystery! Moving back into her parents’ house with her teenage daughter had not been Georgia Thackery’s “Plan A.” But when she got a job at the local college, it seemed the sensible thing to do. So she settled in and began reconnecting with old friends. Including Sid. Sid is the Thackery family’s skeleton. He’s lived in the house as long as Georgia can remember, although no one, including Sid, knows exactly where he came from and how he came to be a skeleton. Sid walks, he talks, he makes bad jokes, he tries to keep Georgia’s dog from considering him a snack. And he manages to persuade Georgia to let him leave the house. But when she takes him to an anime convention—disguised as a skeleton, of course—he sees a woman who triggers memories of his past. Now he is determined to find out how he died—with Georgia’s help. But their investigation may uncover a killer who’s still alive and well and bad to the bone...

Book Description
Arcanium has more than a few skeletons in its closet... There's a special hell in Arcanium for people who wish to lose weight while in jinni Bell Madoc's presence. The Skellies—the new, female-heavy metal cover band of deathly Living Skeletons—have been looking for a lead singer to round out the ensemble. They find their diva in Vivian Mendez, a difficult woman with a voice like a rock goddess and more skeletons in her closet than Bell has in his band. Vivian always dreamed of being the lead singer in a band, and she's damn good at it. But when she isn't singing, a bottomless hunger consumes her. Nothing is ever enough. The life of every Arcanium Skeleton revolves entirely around food and the odd chef who serves them. But Vivian refuses to play by his rules, refuses to beg him for more and refuses any attempt by the earnest odd chef to satisfy her hunger. In Arcanium, sometimes the harder someone fights, the harder they fall.
