So, life sucks just about as much as it possibly can. And when I see gargoyles heading straight for me, all I'm left wondering is who will kill me first - the winged monster-hunters, or the angry sea dragons? What I don't expect? The gargoyles don't know who or what I am. So maybe, just maybe, if I can hide my identity long enough, I'll survive. But it might take a little distraction to accomplish. The thing is, I don't think I mind distracting four hard-as-stone gargoyles who can't stop staring.

Being the daughter of a wraith means that death is in my veins. It also means that just because I happen to be found around a lot of dead bodies doesn't mean I'm a serial killer. But try to get the jackass Supernatural Enforcers to believe that. The thing is, I can't tell them what I am, because according to the paranormal world, I'm an "abomination" that would need to be killed. So, I have no good excuse for all the crime scene appearances.

If Hades thinks he’s going to drag me back to the Underworld, he might just learn that this fiery hound is more than just his daughter. Or his pet. Without my leash, this bi*** has a bite that’ll make him piss his godly pants. And maybe, just maybe, make him rethink that whole chaining me to the Underworld for eternity, decision. I can hope, right? The thing is, I know I’ll never actually be free of Hades.

Do monsters have midlife crises? Because I’m pretty sure I’m having one. My kind bring trouble and chaos wherever they go. I can’t change that, it’s just the way things are. So rather than continue to watch the people around me being impacted by my curse, I did the only thing I thought I could—I stepped away from the world.

I am bound to the dark...and the dark is bound to me. No one can know what I am. But this secret I carry, it isn't an easy one to hide. It burns within me. It changes me each and every day, making the line between me and the ghosts I love smaller and smaller. Yet, no secret can remain hidden forever.

I can't escape death. It comes for me, one way or another. But when I'm accused of a crime I didn't commit, and thrown away with the worst of supernatural society, I'll have to fight with every ounce of my strength to survive. Only, it isn't that easy. My ex-boyfriend and his two best friends have a plan to escape. One they're willing to include me in. They say something is hunting the criminals in this place, and that our only chance at survival is to get free.

Sharen is a bad-ass. Between her magic and her weapons, she enters demon realms and kills ruthless critters before they can cross over to the human world. She's the leader of her elite team of demon-hunters, and everyone knows to stay out of her way. Then her best friend dies under mysterious circumstances. When she's accidentally tied to three powerful demons, she expects to send them screaming back to their realm. What she's not prepared for? That there's more to these three magical beings than she ever imagined, and that they might hold the secrets to her best friend's death.

We almost died escaping from Nightmare Penitentiary, but somehow, we managed to survive and to even get free. And then? Then, we’re thrown right back into peril again. And as much as I just want to say screw it and give up, I have to pull my “big girl panties” on and keep going. Because the alternative is a very grisly death.

The good guys and bad guys are switching sides. An evil I never imagined looms ahead. And if we can’t rescue an innocent in time, all will be lost.Including our freedom.

Growing up as the daughter of the beast himself, I saw the wicked truth after happily-ever-after ended. And I vowed to use the only skill I had, my ability to kill, to gain my freedom. But I failed.

Half-breeds are seen as dangerous freaks, rejects, misfits who are useful for absolutely nothing. But my parents made a place for people like us to be free, to live together in peace. It was a sanctuary for half-breeds, and the place all my happiest memories took place. But I should have known it wouldn’t last forever. That peaceful place was destroyed, everyone I loved was killed, and I was taken—and tortured. I don’t know how long I was in that dark place before I was freed, but now I’m a different kind of prisoner.

I was never meant to be a light fae. There was too much darkness inside of me. So when I met my mate, I dove headfirst into the world of monsters and ghosts that he revealed to me. And then he died. Changed. Different from all the other light fae. I no longer had a place I belonged in. When a night of death and danger threatened to destroy innocent supernaturals, I risked my life to stand between them and the shadow beasts who hunted the dark fae. I never expected the beasts to take me. I never expected to find myself surrounded by the wild shifters deep in the woods.

Reaping. Killing. Being the judge, jury, and executioner of the world. That's who I am now. All to save an innocent life. The heavy burden of what I am and what I must do weighs on me every day, but starting a new job at a hospital is a chance for me to find my place in this world. Unfortunately for me, a hot doctor, my powerful boss, and a sweet male nurse have taken an interest in me. I don't want to drag them into my supernatural world. I don't want their blood on my hands.

It's a strange thing to live again. My memories of before are nothing but shadows, like me. And yet, I've done what no Shade before me has done: I've severed my bond to the Underworld. As Cerberus told me to do.

Being Hades’s prisoner isn’t all it’s cracked up to be...It’s been longer than I can remember since I’ve seen sunlight, since I’ve felt a breeze...since I’ve been free. Imprisoned deep in the Underworld by an arrogant god, I’ve counted the minutes until my escape. But when I finally had the chance, I couldn’t go. Not without the man I’ve fallen in love with, my gargoyle guard. Who just happens to be technically dead. Now, we have another chance to escape, but the risks are vast. What’s more, I’ll need to learn to trust more men.

Thousands of years ago, I made a mistake. A terrible mistake that cost me everything. My dearest husband. My beloved children. Even my humanity. My curse makes me dangerous to all those around me, so I've secluded myself where I can never hurt another person again. But the Fates have other plans for me that don't include hiding for eternity.

Imprisoned for attempting to kill a dangerous vampire, I finally gained my freedom after years of suffering. Now, I’ve been sent to the Guild of Assassins where I must succeed or lose my freedom once more. But nothing is that easy.

My brother wants me dead… The thing is, I’ve finally realized the truth. This doesn’t end until I end him, and the rest of the Blood Mages. If they continue to exist, the world will never be safe. So with three men at my side, I’ll have to do the impossible: kill my brother and take down the Blood Mages. The problem is that even though for the first time me and these men have the same goal, I’m still hiding the truth from them.

Max and Braxton are Enforcers. In so many ways, my enemies. But these two sexy shifters, for some reason, want to protect me. They seem to understand me. And after a passionate moment together, I think we’ve become more than just partners. But if it comes down to choosing them over my brother, I’m not sure I can do it. The problem is that I don’t know if I’ll have a choice.
