Mourning Hearts by Karen Thrower

Murders happen, even in the sleepy town of Arion. But murders where the suspect says a fae told them to do it, are rare. Lily's arm is doing much better, thanks to her magic, and the loving care from her boyfriend Detective Richard Moss and her best friend Nicola. Six months after the incident she's back at work, and the moment she steps into the precinct, she can see a change in the department. Everyone's smiling at her, or shaking her hand, it was like they were glad she was there. For once. The biggest surprise, had been Major Ryan hiring her as an official employee of the City of Arion with a desk and everything. No more freelancing, it felt good. Like everything was changing for the better. Like the town might start accepting her after all these years. However, before Lily could bask in the good news, she and Moss are thrust into a murder case, and none of it makes sense. Lily can sense fae magic on the suspect, but the crime scene is a different story. Was fae magic being imitated or was the murderer that smart? And why only kill half of a couple? As Lily and Richard's relationship begins to blossom, they must find who is actually responsible for the murders, before they become the killer's next target.

Lily Roa grew up known as ‘The little witch who killed her family,’ now she works for the police as a consultant, solving magical crimes. Her life’s purpose is to find the monsters who give the good ones a bad name, to find the magic users who would blacken the world and bring them to justice. Plus, the pay is good. There seems to be something dark creeping into Lily’s hometown, something that took her mentor away but brought in a partner she could trust. Something summoning the darkest of creatures and leaving evidence no one in town could explain. Now Lily must work with the new Detective Richard Moss against roadblocks, both magical and mundane, to find out what’s going on in the sleepy town of Arion.
