No, I didn't kill the dead human. If I had, I wouldn't dump the body in the station mall. When Murderbot discovers a dead body on Preservation Station, it knows it is going to have to assist station security to determine who the body is (was), how they were killed (that should be relatively straightforward, at least), and why (because apparently that matters to a lot of people—who knew?) Yes, the unthinkable is about to happen: Murderbot must voluntarily speak to humans! Again!

Sci-fi’s favorite antisocial A.I. is back on a mission. The case against the too-big-to-fail GrayCris Corporation is floundering, and more importantly, authorities are beginning to ask more questions about where Dr. Mensah's SecUnit is. And Murderbot would rather those questions went away. For good.

My whole world changed when I stepped inside the academy. Nothing is right about this place or the other students in it. Here I am, a mere mortal among gods...or monsters. I still can't decide which of these warring factions I belong to, if I belong at all. I only know the one thing that unites them is their hatred of me. Then there's Jaxon Vega. A vampire with deadly secrets who hasn't felt anything for a hundred years. But there's something about him that calls to me, something broken in him that somehow fits with what's broken in me. Which could spell death for us all.

Supernatural Bounty Hunter isn’t the sort of thing you see on LinkedIn. But with a rare type of magic like mine, I don’t have many options. So dangerous or not, the job is mine. And it was going fine, until an old as sin vampire stole my mark, and with it, my pay day.

Joyce thought her prayers were finally answered when her client killed her. Yes, she knows, it's morbid. But, so is being a lawyer. Now dead, Joyce thought it was blue skies, angel wings, mimosas, and Jesus. Well, she was embarrassingly wrong. The insufferable, but good-looking Grim Reaper needs a favor. He needs her to represent him in the newly formed Reaper's Court. That is, of course, if she wants to go to heaven rather than to hell, which is exactly where she was heading.

Being a bush pilot in Alaska is dangerous, but it's nothing compared to the threat stalking me now. I'm Piper Tikaani, an Inupiaq Raven Clan shapeshifter, and the skies have always been my refuge—until the day I find a family friend dead on the roof of his wilderness cabin. His death isn't just a tragedy—it's a warning. My people whisper of hidden treasure and long-buried secrets, but the truth is far worse. Ancient beasts, long thought extinct, are prowling the land once more. The gods of my ancestors have awakened, and they want the shadow-winged—like me—erased.

Five families. Perfect from the outside. Broken on the inside.

Ever since I uncovered the truth about my bloodline, everything has gone to hell. My best friend, Bran, has been cursed—trapped inside an artifact by an ancient goddess who refuses to let her go. Weasel is coming for Bran, an unknown monster is hunting me, and war is brewing between the gods, the shadow-winged, and the weres. If we win, humanity stays blissfully ignorant and safe. If we lose? Everything ends. I'm just a shapeshifting bush pilot with a knack for survival, but even I know this fight is bigger than me. The gods are making their final move.

I grew up on stories of the old gods—tales meant to warn, not prepare me for the day they'd return. But here they are, walking the earth again, and it turns out it's my dad's fault. Worse? Their idea of fun is total annihilation. As an Inupiaq Raven Clan shapeshifter and a bush pilot, I prefer to stay off the radar. But when the gods set their sights on a powerful magical artifact—one capable of ending everything—I can't just stand by and watch.
