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...

I might just find a whole new family…if they don't kill me first.

When a creepy run-in with a monster during...

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...

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.

I refuse to be the gung-ho little superhero my sister wants me to be. I’m not dragging the people I love into her war. But the war-mongering witch supremacists and the power-hungry Supernatural Alliance need to be stopped. So, I agreed to help her steal a couple of magical artifacts. The problem is, one of those artifacts is in the Angelic realm, guarded by a bunch of pompous, lying jerks who can definitely kick my ass. I’m pretty sure I’m not going to be able to just talk them into letting me borrow their deadly magical artifact. Again. But fighting angels and stealing relics is the ...

Until a couple months ago, Esper would have said having not one, but two hot paranormal lovers would be the most exciting thing to ever happen in her painfully dull life.

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 ...

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 ...

Life would be easier if I really was an evil witch like the rest of my family. I did it. I managed to free all of the creatures enslaved in the pages of the Lovell family’s disgusting grimoire and I destroyed the book to make sure they stayed free. I thought life would go back to normal once I finished my task, but boy was I wrong. Turns out I’m not the last remaining Lovell witch after all. I have an older sister, and she’s been hiding from everyone—including me—for years. Even better? One of my lovers was responsible for wiping her from everyone’s memory. And now, not only has...
