Acquisition Announcement: JERICHO JAMES AND THE MIDNIGHT PACK by Jasmine Kuliasha

Orbit is thrilled to announce the acquisition of Jericho James and the Midnight Pack, the first book in the Jericho James series, by Jasmine Kuliasha, a fun and sexy new urban fantasy series about a supernatural investigator who always bites off more than she can chew.

Jericho James is in over her head.

She’s a Private Investigator famed for debunking mythical creature attacks, and she expects her latest case in Stillbridge, Maine to be just another instance of “town who cried wolf.” But instead of finding another regular animal in the Northeastern woods, Jericho discovers a family of reclusive scientists. Handsome scientists, no less, working on a cure for a mystery virus.

Intrigued by the virus and utterly captivated by Benjamin—a scientist with cheekbones that must have been chiseled by God himself and a large, wolfish smile—Jericho finds she’s dying to learn more about the family and their work.

And when she accidentally discovers the family’s secret, she might just get her wish. ​Follow Jericho James as she solves cryptid crimes, stops mythical misdeeds, and blocks otherworldly outrages. And maybe, if she has time, find love along the way.

Jericho James and the Midnight Pack will publish in May 2025.

Jasmine Kuliasha was born in Peru and grew up in Guatemala. She spent her childhood traveling, and books were her most constant companions. Today, her writing is informed by her adventures abroad and her love of happy endings. She writes from Colorado, where she’s living her own Happily Ever After with her children and husband. When she’s not writing, she’s training for her next marathon, or trying to get her personal assistants (two cats) to do anything at all.
