After a split-second decision that gave her a second chance at life, Timberlyn struggles to control her new instincts as her life spins out of control. Her newly awakened hunger takes over, and she has to decide if she made the right choice, after all. She may have saved her life, but every day is a struggle not to lose herself.

Wolves aren’t supposed to mate humans. Humans also aren’t supposed to interrupt sacred mating ceremonies, but I had a good reason, all right? I needed magic, and I needed a lot of it to save my little sister from the Moon Shadow plague running rampant in human territory.

Last night, Eira killed a man. However justified her actions were, many now regard her as a cold-blooded murderer and a heretic. But there's no time to explain herself. She barely has a chance to wash the blood off her hands before the Tournament of Five Kingdoms begins. Sequestered with the other champions for the duration of the tournament, Eira must now navigate the games, her competition, the enemies who hunt her head, and—worse than all the rest—being stuck in close quarters with the man who broke her heart.

Naughty girls need love too. A beautiful monster, that’s what I am. My packaging is just a little nicer than the creatures you hear about dwelling in your closet. With three baddies for my mates, things are definitely getting interesting. I think I’ve even convinced them not to kill each other. But I have a new purpose, someone is hurting our kind. Stealing Charmed magic in arcane rituals that leave my friends drained and dead, and I won’t allow it. It’s time for them to find out why even the Monsters fear me. I am the bad guy.

Since escaping the demonic realm six months ago, I’ve honed my skills and my rage hunting the craven evils of New York City alongside the witches who saved me. Vigilantes, they call us. Cold-hearted killers. Monsters of the night. If only they knew how true that was—what our pasts have shaped us to be.

All Timberlyn wants is to get out of her small town, where she's branded a freak just because she happens to wear all black and draw gruesome monsters in her notebooks. When a letter arrives saying she's been accepted to the mysterious Ravenwood Academy for the exceptionally Gifted, she jumps at the chance. There's only one problem with Ravenwood: it's run by Alarick Wolf and his brothers, three surly, thuggish, insanely gorgeous guys. Timberlyn's new friends give strict instructions to stay far away from them. Unfortunately, she's not good at taking orders.

Maisey thought the worst thing to happen to her was insta-shaming or a midnight shift at the Crab Shack. Until she got dragged into the world of the gods. Or, more specifically, the world of one very annoying, bad at sarcasm, sex on legs titan. Cronus was everything she never knew she wanted, or needed, in her life. And then, he just left. Left her alone, with no idea what's happening to the world, what's happening with the sins.

I'm not a very good witch. It's not my fault. Being born a mortal sucks, and my black cat familiar follows me around like a security blanket. All the other coven brats make fun of me. My vampires don't seem to mind. They pose as my mentors and get Aunt Sandra off my back. My initiation into the Royal Covens is only three days away. They're supposed to teach me how to hide what I really am: a reincarnation of some ancient and powerful witch.

This contains book 1.5, Demon Stalked, and Book 2. After the demons confessed that I'm their center - their fated mate - I ran like the hounds from hell were on my heels. But my demons? They won't let me go. And maybe I don't want them to. With the threats from the angels getting more and more dire, and my mom and dad making a reappearance in my life, this might be more than we can handle. When new secrets come to light, we must decide if our love is strong enough to conquer anything.

My whole life, I’ve wished for family but found foes, instead. All this changed in a matter of days when I met the guys from Haret - my dragon, shifter, mage, fae, merman, and vampire. Each man has his own unique magic, and as a Qilin, I have the power to channel it. There’s one huge problem, though. I got my piece of dragon, but if the ringmaster finds out, he’ll use Jack to get to us. With Underbelly controlling Jack, we don’t know who to trust.

I had to do the unthinkable—and now I've discovered that every move I've made has been part of a villain's maniacal plan. All this time I believed I'd found my freedom, I've still had someone pulling my strings. Those days are over. The man who considers himself my master is the worst monster I've ever known. My crew and I won't let him get away with his manipulations or the even more disturbing crimes we uncover. But no matter how talented we are in our killer skills, we're just five people up against a crime lord with more connections than I can count.

Sins of the father...or the daughter? I've discovered the family I was stolen from in the most unexpected place possible. It's hard to believe I belong with them. A lifelong assassin mixing with people who campaign against criminals? There's no way in hell they'd accept the real me, let alone the brutal men who've welcomed me into their lives and their beds. There has to be some way to make this work. I can't help craving a real home after so long without one. And now that my enemies are targeting my birth family as well, they might need all the skills I can bring to bear.

For the first time in my life, I have something to lose: friends, and, most importantly, a mate. One who’s become so much more than the task I first begrudgingly accepted.

Her wolf yearns to scout pack lands and socialize with other wolves, but Ember understands the risks, especially considering female shifters are nearly endangered nowadays. So, she keeps her distance, even if she has to fight her wolf at every turn... And that works until Ember's team is called in on a mysterious case for the paranormal council.
