Mytho Investigations

Lust and Other Drugs by T.J. Nichols blends urban fantasy, mystery, and slow-burn romance in a city where mythological beings live uneasily alongside humans. Police officer Jordan hides his sympathy for “mythos,” his secret visits to satyr clubs, and his use of the illicit drug Bliss, until two human deaths linked to the drug force him into an uneasy partnership with dragon shifter Edra, the Mythological Services Liaison. As they investigate overdoses that should be impossible, both men juggle political pressure, a potential scandal that could endanger the mytho community, and their own conflicting loyalties. The growing attraction between Jordan and Edra complicates every lie they tell, turning a paranormal case into something far more personal.

As Jordan investigates a string of thefts involving mythos artifacts, their cases converge on a mermaid colony near Alcatraz, where reclaiming hoarded treasures proves dangerous.
