Lost in Las Vegas by Kristen Painter
1st book in the Frost and Crowe paranormal mystery series. A spin off from the Jayne Frost mystery series Nocturne Falls. Alternating first person POV of Sinclair and Jayne.

Jayne and Sinclair start on a tour of the toy store chain, starting in Las Vegas where his parents live. They are timing the visit to see his parents opening night new magic act. When Sinclair’s mother is kidnapped in the middle of the show, everyone is a suspect. Jayne and Sinclair investigate with the help of friends. There is a tight time limit because of a contract and the fact that as a zombie, his mother needs lots of vitamins and moisturizers. They use all their skills from magic, to wolf scent tracking and flying over the area looking for clues.

Intriguing and fun mystery as the crew add and eliminates suspects. Love Birdie with her computer skills. I hope she continues with this new series.
The talking cats are adorable and humorous. ( )
