Just when Gesa thought her pride was complete, Halstad has vanished in the night, and the mage guild is denying any knowledge of his whereabouts. It would seem the mage doesn't want to be part of the pride...but Gesa's gryphon senses are tingling. Something smells like lies. To top it all off, the guild is refusing to sell mage contracts to anyone near Derek White. Even once Gesa finds her mage, she might not be able to keep him.

Gryphon shifter Gesa Lionheart’s life is getting more complicated by the minute. She left her clan so she could escape their mind games, but here she is, pulled right back into the thick of it. It seems like saving her sister from the loony bin and ruining her mother’s political machinations would be enough to deal with, but no. Her snarky little fae is hiding something dangerous, her fox is about to lose his mind, her human might not be as human as he seems, and somehow, they’ve ended up with a strange squatter in their bookstore.

Esper and her ever-expanding group of freaks set out to confront one of the most powerful sorcerer families in the US. It turns out Toma’s brother is missing, someone out there is powerful enough to make an entire nest of vampires disappear—oh, and Toma’s family are a bunch of assholes. With all the political bull and the thinly veiled threats against Esper’s kind, it’s almost a relief to leave Toma’s family behind. Too bad the only help she has cleaning up the sorcerers’ mess is one small medium, one overly-emotional vampire, one busty werewolf, and one guy who doesn’t even...

All reluctant necromancer Esper Jones wanted was to return home and plot out a way to rescue her long-lost father from the clutches of a madman. Simple, right? But there are strange wolves in town, set on taking Luna back to their pack. And a whole bunch of trouble just rolled in, in the form of a group of renegade vamps trailing a bunch of angry vampire hunters. Oh, and there is the little matter of the permanent body Esper promised to help find for her skinwalker…. And that’s not to mention all the sickening romantic drama and figuring out what she should do with her questionable ex-...

Blythe Li is a wellspring—a vessel containing magic that can only be used by a magi. The only problem is, women aren’t supposed to be wellsprings. In a world where powerful female magic workers rule, and vulnerable male wellsprings must follow the rigid social norms meant to keep their magic pure from corruption, Blythe doesn’t fit in anywhere. She can’t actually use magic, the way a woman should. Wellsprings can’t own property and have very little in the way of basic rights. And Blythe has no hope of making a fortuitous match and becoming a magi’s favored lover and pet, the way...

Yesterday, I was just a boringly average and pathetic girl—no parents, no money, no job… and no manicure! But overnight I became the magical queen of my own hidden kingdom, trapped in a mansion with two perfectly perfect muscle-bound alpha male beefcakes. I even have a brand new Petal Pink manicure. What more could a girl want? But of course, every magical queen has her challenges. I think my weird butler might be senile (OMG he has to be like over 40! Practically ancient.) And this nerdy, not-perfect Evil Wizard keeps insisting it’s all an illusion and calling me by an ugly nickname....

Weird. Creepy. Frumpy. Boyish. At the young age of 29, reluctant necromancer Esper Jones is an outcast, labeled “the old witch on the hill” and avoided by all sane residents of the tiny village of Hellsfork Michigan. And that’s just fine with her. Dealing with people has all the appeal of poking her own eyes out. But Esper’s quiet world is upset when a strange, beautiful man named Toma blows into town and destroys the walls Esper has carefully built around herself.

Fiend hunter Sam “Sabertooth” Forest is used to being on the outskirts. Being a cur with a mix of shifter and human blood, Sam can’t fully shift to beast, but can’t fully pass as human.

Sam hunts monsters, sometimes curs and mongrels just like Sam.

Gesa and her pride have managed to survive the fae lands and take back their mate from his psychotic father. But Oisin is broken, unable to recall much of his previous life—including the reasons he fell in love with a big, brash gryphon or a young, unstable fox. Meanwhile, Hisashi’s display of power in the fae lands has only increased the growth of his dangerous, uncontrollable spirit powers. He needs an anchor.

The transition from teenager to adult blows. But throw in an unexpected (and unwanted) gender swap, and things get a hell of a lot harder. Head down, don’t draw attention, fit in. That’s been Grey’s motto ever since the universe screwed him over, making him—quite literally—a woman in a man’s body. Etna Island was a normal fishing town and tourist destination until four years ago, when a mysterious plague transformed its entire female population into men. Four years ago, Grace Hawthorne became Grey Thorne, and left all her silly, girlish dreams behind. He quickly learned to ...

Grey thought her life couldn’t get weirder than it has been the past four years. After all, what could beat a couple of sudden gender swaps, a cursed island, and finding out your mother is a siren? Funny, Grey. Real funny. For starters, the rock that connects Grey to Etna Island? Turns out it might have something much darker attached to it—something all the other supernaturals insist a mixed breed like Grey isn’t strong enough to handle. Oh, and then there’s the band’s growing popularity and the possibility that Grey’s love life might destroy Lucifer and everything they’ve ...

Esper and her murder are all set to celebrate Christmas eve…if they can survive the housefire caused by Jet’s baking attempt, the solstice ghost, and the influx of people who keep showing up! It's Christmas, necromancer style. Author’s Note: Fed up with the usual tropes in romance and reverse harem, I wanted to read about characters who are more than the fainting female and alpha male cookie cutter stereotypes that saturate the genre. (There’s nothing wrong with it, if you like that sort of thing, but it just got old for me!) People come in all shapes, sizes, personalities, and ...

My whole life has been a lie, and I now find myself surrounded by powerful paranorms I thought were extinct. They need me to heal their self-proclaimed “princess”—a powerful shifter who is secretly leading a rebel court that seeks to overthrow ...
