Jillian Cade doesn’t believe in the paranormal, unlike her famous father, a professor and expert on the occult. Ever since he abandoned her to travel the world for “research,” she’s milked his reputation—and all the suckers who believe in the stuff—by taking over his private investigation firm. Ironically, it’s when she takes on a case that might involve a totally non-paranormal missing person that things get strange.

“To say this is a mash-up of Veronica Mars and The X-Files doesn’t quite do JILLIAN CADE: (FAKE) PARANORMAL INVESTIGATOR justice. She’s her own strong, scathingly witty, big-hearted phenomenon, and her story will keep you up late, turning pages.”
– Nina Berry, author of The Notorious Pagan Jones
“Jillian Cade is the real thing. Jen Klein's fearless, irreverent heroine takes her place in the canon alongside Buffy and Veronica Mars ... an irresistible, smart, and heartfelt debut with a paranormal twist that kept me guessing until the action-packed end.”
— Danielle Paige, New York Times bestselling author of Dorothy Must Die
“If Nancy Drew's snarkier cousin moved to Sunnydale, you'd have something like Jillian Cade. A delightfully fun and fast debut.”
–Kiersten White, New York Times bestselling author of Paranormalcy
“Klein builds her underworld with both logic and farce, paralleling Jillian's own skepticism and quick wit. ”
— Kirkus Reviews on Jillian Cade: (Fake) Paranormal Investigator
“A detective story with a heavy romance bent ... Klein’s story is quick and funny despite its darker subject matter.”
—School Library Journal on Jillian Cade: (Fake) Paranormal Investigator
“Klein’s first novel for young adults is funny and suspenseful, and many readers will relate to protagonist Jillian Cade’s cynicism (not surprising given her family situation and lack of popularity with her peers). Part mystery, part romance, with real paranormal action, this book will appeal to fans of mystery, fantasy, and romance.”
