The Phoenix Illusion by Lisa Shearin

The agents of the Supernatural Protection & Investigation (SPI) are used to dealing with the weird and the wacky, but even they are stunned when a building from another world suddenly appears on an empty lot in New York.

I'm Makenna Fraser, seer for SPI, and it's just my luck my birthday party is literally crashed by a building from another planet. And it's not just any building - it's my goblin boyfriend's house from his home world. SPI's mission, to keep the public clueless about the supernatural, has us scrambling to find who did this and why, not to mention how.

The deeper we dig, the more we realize this incident is the opening gambit to a much larger event. Old enemies have combined forces with an even older nemesis to develop the means to kidnap an entire building and everyone in it. But who, or what, is their ultimate target?

Finding out and getting to the mark before they do will require all hands on deck, including some extraterrestrial help from the goblin home world. We're running out of time, and if we can't get our act together, we'll have front-row seats for the end of the world as we know it.

Lisa Shearin is the New York Times bestselling author of the Raine Benares novels (The Brimstone Deception, The Dragon Conspiracy, and The Grendel Affair), a comic fantasy adventure series, and the SPI Files novels (The Brimstone Deception, The Dragon Conspiracy, and The Grendel Affair), an urban fantasy series best described as Men in Black but with supernaturals instead of aliens.

She lives with her husband, three spoiled-rotten retired racing greyhounds, and enough deer and woodland critters to fill a Disney movie on a small property in North Carolina.
