Her partner and mentor is hospitalized, followed quickly by her father, who slips into a coma; her teenage brother decides now is the perfect time to rebel; and her mom lays the guilt on as thick as molasses every chance she gets. Work isn\u2019t much better. Recently promoted to detective, her job is suddenly in jeopardy, and the cops she\u2019s worked with for years no longer respect her or want her around. Not to mention the fact that Ghosts, Vampires, and Werewolves are real and apparently want her dead.
\nWhy?<\/p>\n

According to a crazy man who showed up out of nowhere, Sam was never meant to be a cop. She\u2019s supposed to be a Wizard.<\/p>\n
