Colorful illustrated book cover titled "Strange Lights" by Mira Gonzalez, depicting a night scene in the woods with a campfire, a pink camper van, a girl sitting on top of the van, a man and a girl near the campfire, and bright lights in the sky spelling out "Strange Lights."

Paranormal investigator and cryptozoologist Reggie has embraced her fate as parent to an adopted toddler, Eldi—a blood-sucking chupacabra with a fondness for goats. She wants nothing more than to put her complicated past in the rearview mirror and fade into as much obscurity as her toddler will allow. But a rash of UFOs in the night sky and a couple of crop-circle-carving Roombas force Reggie into an investigation that attracts the attention of an old enemy, an anti-supernatural agency hunting for creatures like Eldi. To outwit them, Reggie must team up with Calvin: a podcaster-turned-werewolf whose charm is a real threat to Reggie’s rule against romantic attachments.

With Reggie’s history quickly catching up to her and Eldi in the agency’s crosshairs, any shred of normalcy evaporates. Reggie must decide: Can she confront her dark past to save Eldi—and an entire alien species—from getting wiped off the face of the universe?

Strange Lights is a joyride in a sentient Winnebago

with a quirky cast of cryptids.
