Monster Baiter (An Obscure Magic Book 6)

A family curse turned occupation, a merman in her tub and a mage in her phone. Sophâ€™s life just gets weirder.

Being raised as the Cursed One does things to a person. It changes your relationships and makes you a very paranoid young woman. This is how Sophy ends up in her fourth decade, looking eighteen and having no love life.
The Mage Guild provides her with a liaison so that she can stop calling to rummage through their archives, and the voice in the machines around her becomes an admirable partner, such as he is.
He files a request with her to assist him in his own personal journey, and it takes her into the Guild Hall to face a mage who wants her as a trophy. She isnâ€™t impressed, but gets what she needs and gets out of there.
A cursed object that calls to her is part of her plans for the next few days, but the arrival of the body that belongs to the voice throws things into chaos.
Magnus has spent years in amber, waiting to be released by a request from a woman he hasnâ€™t slept with. He was born a warrior centuries earlier and is a legendary mage in his own right. He has one major concern, and it involves figuring out the strange pull and repulsion he feels when the Cursed One is around.
Demons, mages, old scores, and cursed objects swirl around the DeMonstre family, and Sophia is first and foremost the Monster Baiter.

Excerpt:
Sophia fished her phone out of her cleavage and made a call. â€œCaptain Miskin? I have the highway stalker in my custody, he has been neutralized, and I am asking you to trace my phone and come and collect him.â€
â€œWho am I talking to?â€
â€œSophia DeMonstre.â€
She could almost hear him sitting up on the other end of the line. â€œTrace is happening and we are on our way.â€
She left the line open and faced the kidnapper.
The teen slumped on a chair, and he was still wondering what had happened. â€œI donâ€™t understand.â€
â€œWhich part? You grabbing the horn and unleashing your rage or turning back into yourself? Pick one and I will explain it.â€
Sophia cocked her head and nodded to his clothing. â€œGet dressed. I will wait.â€
He swallowed. â€œYou said you were in college.â€
â€œYes.â€
â€œHow old are you? You talk a lot older.â€
He got up and pulled on his sweatshirt and sneakers.
She grinned. â€œOh, you donâ€™t need to know that. Imagine that I am the same age I look. It will make you feel better.â€
They sat in silence until they heard the approach of the officers.
â€œWho is coming for me?â€
â€œMage Guild. The officers will take you into custody and charge you with misuse of magic. The horn has been made useless, and once it is used in your investigation, it will be destroyed.â€
He jolted. â€œYou canâ€™t.â€
â€œOh. I can. In fact, I am one of the only ones who can.â€ She walked him out to the mages, and they took over. The looks she got in her cheerleader outfit were close to leers, but when she pinned them with her gaze, they looked respectfully away.
She put the horn in an evidence case and took their card so she could fill out the report and send it to them in the morning.
â€œMs. DeMonstre, is that your car in the road?â€
â€œYup.â€ She walked with them back to the highway with a spring in her step.
â€œCan we help you get it started?â€
Sophia chortled and walked to her hood, removing the support rod and lowering it with a click. She tapped the hood twice, and the car roared to life.
â€œI have it under control, Officers, but thanks for the offer.â€ She climbed into her car, waved them goodnight and headed back to the office in Redbird City. She really hated commuting, but when humans became monsters, she was the DeMonstre on duty.

Her parents looked at her and laughed. Her father grinned. â€œThe cheerleader again?â€
â€œIt rarely fails and has a wide age range for attractions. Thanks to this curse of ours, I wonâ€™t ever look my age, so why not?â€ She walked through the entryway and toward her change room. The sheer amount of fantasy costumes that she had sometimes embarrassed her, but the weird part was that she could wear the same
