YA
In an alternate Austin, Texas, Quincie and her uncle are preparing to reopen the family restaurant when their chef is murdered. A charming young man appears and tantalizes Quincie with sinfully delicious dishes. The restaurant's heady mix of rich foods and supernatural sexuality sets the novel's tone. Smith adds a light touch of humor, but the main course is a dark romance.
