Marla figured returning to her small hometown would be the start of a simple life — albeit one with magic. She figured wrong. Magic was part of the deal, but the new role assigned to her wasn’t. What does she know about detecting? Nothing at all, a fact made plainly obvious during her first day on the job. What do a foul-mouthed leprechaun and Spanx have in common? Marla is about to find out....

Everyone in Ridgemore knows Joss and her friends Griffin, Hunt, Layla, and Brady have been inseparable since they were kids. You mess with one, and you'll have the whole bunch to answer to. Their senior year should be one long carefree party, but Joss can't seem to get over a crush on Griffin that could screw up their lifelong friendship. She can't help it; she's drawn to his devilish smirk and the brooding stare that seems to trail her wherever she goes. But any thoughts of romance go out the window when a horrible accident changes everything.

A prodigy pygmy owl. A possessive firedrake. A booby-trapped castle. Gargoyles come to life. Who said magic would be ordinary? No one can access magic like Clara, but her powers are unpredictable and dangerous. She has to learn how to control them.

Anira's powers have made her an outcast. Little do her people know she is their only hope. With the help of Rosie, a dragon, Anira will attempt the impossible: to stop the chieftain and free her people and the dragons they protect. Together, she and Rosie will fight to save their families and each other.

In nineteenth century Norland, magic is forbidden, punishable by death. But it's coming for Clara. Clara was born to the nobility at a time when rank and power are often more valuable than the bonds of family. Her parents have plans for her, none that she wants, all involving her arranged marriage. From her birth, her entire life has been planned out-only what a future wife in society needs to know. Every step of her path is meant to end with her walking down an aisle and then popping out heirs.

Invisible when no one should be, Anira is an outcast, forced to hide from the chieftain who rules her clan with an iron fist. He is their savior. Akin to a god. The path to their survival. Only, he isn't. Not by a long shot. He is their greatest enemy, hidden within their midst. The most dangerous threat of all.

Clara barely survived the dark force that attacked Irele Castle. One of her teachers didn't. But the number of dark magicians hunting her and her friends has only increased. She still doesn't understand the extent of her powers, and her foes are cutting off every opportunity for her to discover it. As if the immortal count weren't terrifying enough, now Clara's former fiance and a magician she believed dead have combined their efforts to kill her. And it gets worse. The Merqueen's already stolen three years of Clara's life. But she wants more, and she's as powerful as the count.

Marla Gawama is getting the hang of being the only detective in town. The weird is seeming less weird and...ha. No, not really. The odd just keeps getting stranger. It is Gales Haven after all.
But Marla, like a champ, is learning how to be an interpreter for a no-nonsense hedgehog matriarch, how to solve minor crimes in Spanx and confectionary, and how to balance her kids’ needs with her new love life.

I never fit in as a human, and now that I’ve been magically corrupted against my will, I’m starting to see that I don’t really fit in as a wolf, either.

My whole life is one tangled lie. A horrible deception. All my past choices steered by the woman who hunts me without pause. She’s powerful, vicious, and cruel, feared by the entire supernatural community. She’s also an immortal. Yeah, she can’t be killed—supposedly. Nothing like an insurmountable challenge, right?

Jasmine has been around magic all her life. She knows the rules, and she loves to break them. When she turned 18, her shifter powers manifested, just as she expected them to. When the Magical Creatures Academy invited her to attend the prestigious school, she wasn’t surprised. When she had a fling with a flirtatious fae over the summer, she thought nothing would come of it, especially as she’s had her eye on a mighty fine shifter at the academy.

A rogue organization of paranormals wants power it shouldn’t have, leaving the magical world divided...and more dangerous than ever.

To the one place where she definitely doesn’t belong. She wants nothing more than to return to the Magical Creatures Academy to squirrel away some private time with the smoking hot shifter who’s finally all hers.
