Urban Mystic

There are some sights you can never unsee. Visions of my brother, my chosen mate, and my friends meeting their individual gruesome ends? That is something that will stay with me forever. The Originals made me experience the faux tragedies, and their message is clear - do things our way or they all die. The problem is that doing things their way could lead to the genocide of all non-gifted humans and suppression of all paranormals. That’s just not something my group and I can accept. Even if it puts our lives at risk, we have to fight for the future - our own and the humans.

Things are shifting in the organization, new faces are joining the fray, and manager Poet Parker isn’t certain how to deal with it. Unfortunately for her, she doesn’t have time to figure it out. Kentucky is on the horizon, and a roadside accident that claims a family has caught Poet’s attention. She’s haunted by what she sees...and dreams that show her nothing but snapping teeth and flowing blood They’ve been to the area before - Mammoth Caves is a big draw - but something appears to be amiss. It isn’t long until Poet realizes exactly what that something is... vampires.

Welcome to the best holiday of the year. Or so I thought...until the tricks began to outweigh the treats. Frog curses, poisoned candy apples, and a wayward vampire are only the half of it. Add in a two-hundred-year-old curse, a depressed poltergeist, and a dead body, and you can see why my enthusiasm for the witchiest day of the year is waning. Not cool, Halloween Hijacker. Not cool. And that's why you can bet your wand I’m not going to go down without a fight, even if my actions land me in grave danger.

I thought being Karma would be a cinch. I thought wrong. Turns out someone knows what I did to my jerk ex and his sleazy girlfriend. Or at least they left me a note telling me they knew, not that they bothered to sign it. When my ex is reported missing and cops from my old town start sniffing around, I know I'm in trouble. What's worse? I find a body outside my house.

A string of break-ins have hit Silverlake, and no one is happy about it. The burglar is smart, able to bypass magical wards and disappear with the goods before the police even realize something is wrong. When Loretta Johnson's grandson is caught red-handed at the scene, it seems like the case is closed. But Loretta is convinced her grandson is innocent and seeks Angelica's help to prove it. Unfortunately, Mrs. Potts thinks that's a horrible idea. Harvey Johnson is a no-good scoundrel and Angelica is wasting her time.

Archaeologist and TV show host Annja Creed trades in her dig tools and dirty excavations for the sunny climes of Hollywood. Serving as a prop consultant for a popular TV fantasy series, Annja's enjoying the lights, camera, and much less action. Until a scrying crystal is stolen off the set…and it turns out to be something more than a prop.

Being stuck in a dangerous place with my worst enemy just might kill me. My plans for revenge due to the death of someone close keeps getting derailed as I navigate my estranged relationship with my werejackal boyfriend and defend a friend arrested for murder. And if that wasn't enough, I'm forced to compete in the ultimate magic competition against my new enemy, Phillip Leal. The loser will have to give up his or her freedom to the winner, and being that Phillip is a cruel and ruthless egomaniac, I can’t afford to lose.

Life on the streets wasn’t what she had in mind for her forever, and she jumped at the chance of joining Mystic Caravan Circus when an invitation was extended. She didn’t look back. That was 10 years ago, and now Poet is going back to the exact area she used to haunt...and she’s nervous. The friends she left behind are scattered. Some are dead. Some have moved on to other things. Some turned out to be something else entirely. Others simply disappeared into the wind.

Mystic Caravan Circus is heading to the West Coast, and while everyone is happy for the change of scenery, there's a pall settling over the group. Poet and Kade are in a good place and planning for a change, but it's something Poet can't focus on because she feels as if someone is watching...and whoever it is has evil in his or her heart. The festival location is different, and instead of space, the circus denizens have festival workers and artisans on every side. They're open and exposed, and hiding their secret has never been more important.

Jack was once a simple college kid who dreamed of getting laid at cosplay parties. But when he discovers fairy tales living among us and becomes their protector against evil and humanity (that’s right!), he’s soon thrown into a war of epic proportions. To stand a chance in this war, Jack goes to the fae lands - the fabled Avalon - where he must conquer his demons, level the hell up, and find some new teammates to add to his already-large party. Will Red, Pucky, the Swan Princess, and Big Bad Wolf be okay with these new party members?

We thought we’d prepared for the fight. We were wrong. Everything I was told about the first soul mates could never prepare me for their actual arrival. More powerful than we could prepare for, the first soul mates control the minds of our closest allies, leaving The Six and my soul mate without any option but to surrender to their murderous ways. When suicides and disappearances go on the rise in our community, I know the first soul mates are behind it, and when I discover the reason, it’s more nightmarish than I could have imagined.

Northern California beckons the Mystic Caravan crew and they’re looking forward to some down time after their previous stop. Emotions are running high and the workers are desperate to return to their normal lives. Poet Parker and Kade Denton, for instance, have a new camper to move into and they’re both excited at the prospect of an adventure that has nothing to do with monsters. All that changes on their first night in a new camp when wendigo howls fill the air and trouble comes knocking at their metaphorical door.

If I thought my life would be easier now that my powers had increased, I was deluding myself. The world of a Tantric Priestess was filled with problems and dangers, and I was going to have to adjust fast. Would I be able to face all my enemies? Would I be able to still be myself and keep the things that I desired, like the man I had come to love in India? And what about my mysterious father? So many questions, so few answers.

The city that never sleeps has something lurking in the darkness and Poet Parker can't decide if it's friend or foe. The rich history of the area comes into play when research uncovers a mine disaster more than 100 years in the past...and a tragic outcome that still haunts the locale to this day. Between dust storms bringing forth a creature with glowing red eyes, screams in the desert and Poet's increasing conviction that they're not alone, the team has their hands full. That's on top of the fact that Max decides now is the time to make his move.

Someone is trying to send a deadly message to Mason, arranging the deaths of those he loves and it puts the entire pack and Alpha on high alert. Darcy understands the primal instincts driving her beloved Mason's commands. With the help of those he sets as protectors, she learns about herself and the things she'll need to help support her Alpha and pack. When events turn dire however, one truth offers her strength - once given, oaths are unbreakable...even if it means risking it all.

Poet Parker his having a rough time of it...and then some. She owes her boss Max Anderson everything for saving her from a life on the streets, but Mystic Caravan's favorite psychic is struggling because that loyalty caused her to lose a shot at true love. When the circus hits Brigham City, the nature lovers in the troupe are looking forward to visiting the Great Salt Lake while Poet can't shake the feeling that someone - or rather some dark thing - is watching her.

When my quirky Aunt Rose asks me, an American barista, to help open a hip espresso café near the Welsh and English border, I jumped at the chance. What better way to celebrate my 36th birthday and try to ignore the second anniversary of my boyfriend’s death? Misty Valley isn’t just your average Welsh village. This one is full of fae like pixies, orcs, and leprechauns, and now me. My special power, other than making great espresso? I can see and hear ghosts.

A hellhound bound by duty. A human woman he was never meant to claim. A love that could either save the world, or destroy it. As alpha of his hellhound pack, Hayden has spent his life enforcing the laws of their hidden world. He never imagined breaking them, until the day he was called to fulfill a blood debt. His mission: rescue a kidnapped woman from an ancient dragon shifter who seeks to control one of his deadliest assassins. Her name is Fallon. And from the moment he sees her, his fate is sealed. Humans are forbidden to hellhounds.

Three days. That was all the reprieve we got before one of the five showed up, injured and on the run. The snowstorm that had encased the property, as well as stifled the town, hadn’t even melted away. That wounded prey led our newest adversary directly to me. To Christopher. Inconvenient timing, but not unexpected. It was the betrayal forcing me to stay my hand against that adversary that shocked me. Betrayal from the least likely of sources. Or so I would have thought.

Nara had spent thousands of years trapped inside her deranged mother’s castle. After being enrolled at the Knight Academy, she thought she’d finally be free. She had everything — a mentor in magic, a loving boyfriend, and a group of friends she called family. But then it all fell to pieces.
