Her dumpster-diving days are numbered…

Crow shifter Alice Crawford is living her best life as a salvage artist in Texas. But when her city’s namesake, magical stream starts drying up, taking her income with it, she—and everyone else in town—soon find themselves up Shift Creek without a paddle.

When a hot as sin warlock arrives on the scene, Alice thinks he can solve all her problems.

If she can get past his farting familiar.

Warlock Donovan Drake has more secrets than a duck has quacks. His connection to Shift Creek runs deeper than anyone can imagine, and getting turned into a crow the moment he meets Alice is just the beginning of his trouble.

He’s falling head over tail feathers for the feisty bird shifter, and if he’s not careful, he’ll be as exposed as a streaker at the state fair.

Better put your boots on because the shift is getting deep in the Lone Star State!

The grim reaper took a vacation…

Now all hell is breaking loose.

With an existential crisis looming over his head, Asher needs a break from reaping souls. But when he leaves his door to the underworld unattended, one escaped ghost threatens to turn the French Quarter into a haven for the hell-bound.

Oh, and that crisis he was trying to escape? Her name is Jasmine Lee, and she could be the death of him.

The literal death of Death. Yep. You heard that right.

There’s no such thing as too dead when it comes to necromancer Jasmine Lee. She’s never met a ghost she can’t tame, but when a thousand ornery spirits descend upon New Orleans, her secret weakness is a recipe for phantasmal disaster.

Holy ghost guts. She’s in trouble.

The unfairly hot reaper is the last person Jasmine wants to work with. But if she doesn’t help Asher wrangle the lost souls back to the underworld, there will be hell to pay.

Literally.

Crimson Oliver is a bad witch.

She’s not wicked, but every spell she tries to cast goes awry in one way or another. After her last screw-up, the high priestess has threatened to bind her powers and turn her human for good.

Crimson’s solution? Challenge the priestess to a battle of magic she can’t possibly win.

Not without a miracle, anyway.

Enter hotter-than-hellfire demon Mike Cortez. He’s a devil’s advocate who can make anyone’s dreams come true…for a price. He’s had his eye on the seductive witch for a while, and Satan is in the market for a new assistant.

But Mike wants to date her, not damn her.

When he accidentally makes a deal condemning Crimson to an eternity of satanic servitude, they’ll have to go to hell and back to outsmart the devil and save the witch’s soul.

Sophie Burroughs is determined to be a witch. Her grandmother was a witch. All the other supes say she smells like a witch, but she can’t cast a spell to save her life.

Sprouting fur is so not on her to-do list.

But when a smokin’ hot werewolf bites her and then accuses her of crimes against his pack, she has until the next full moon to prove him wrong and stop his magic from transforming her into a wolf.

A romp in the sack would be a nice bonus, too.

Trace Thibodeaux didn’t mean to bite Sophie. The red wolves have been cursed, she’s the prime suspect, and if he wants to keep his rank in the pack, he has to end her magic by any means necessary.

But that doesn’t include sheathing his sword in a witch’s scabbard.

He’s gotten into bed with the enemy before, and that’s a mistake he’ll never make again.

Or will he?

My Brief Synopsis:
# of Pages (per Amazon): 349

In a world where everyone knows magic, and magical creatures, exist, things are a little different than we see them now. However, before mages, shifters, fae, and vampires can go on to become doctors, lawyers, or teachers, they have to spend four years at a magical university to ensure they can be trusted to use their powers and gifts for good.

The problem? Graduating doesn’t guarantee you won’t turn to the dark later, and once you do, there’s no going back. Nosferatu attacks and murdered magical creatures weren’t what Skylar Corazzi were planning on when she went away to school, and she’s pretty sure there’s something bigger going on around Chicago than they’re being told about. The only problem is no one seems to really want to listen to her suspicions. Other than a super hot raven shifter who’s training in the night class to become a sentinel, a profession Sky finds infinitely more interesting than being a fairy godmother, but isn’t an option open to her.

When Gabriel agrees to help train Sky in martial arts so she can help protect herself from the beings trying to drink her dry, they raise more than eyebrows. Can Gabe and Sky survive the nosferatu, judgmental academic counselors, and Gabe’s mean girl girlfriend? Or will Skylar become another statistic of the ever increasing darkling attacks?

My Brief Synopsis:

Ana is about to start at a new school after moving from Colorado to Idaho, and she’s determined to not let anyone there know about her worsening heart condition. Despite her purple tinged lips, lack of stamina, and attempt to blend into the background, she catches the attention of Chance Morgan.

The two become inseparable despite both initially believing dating would be nothing more than a hassle they can’t afford right now. They both take solace in nature as well as each other. However, Ana soon begins to question if Chance is hiding something, and his grandfather’s curious obsession with her Thunderbird necklace is unnerving. Similarly, Chance knows Ana is hiding something from him, though he believes it can’t be worse than his own secret.

Each of their truths may be more than the other can handle, if Ana’s heart doesn’t give out on her first.

My Brief Synopsis:
Zelda is a witch with a problem.  She just finished a stint in magical prison for killing her familiar by “accidentally” running him over with her car… three times.  As she and her cellmate prepare to join the free world again, ancient and insanely powerful Baba Yaga appears with missions they have to complete if they don’t want to become mortal come All Hallows Eve.

The problem? Well, there’s more than one…
The only direction Zelda receives is to go to her recently deceased aunt’s house.
Said house is in “Asscrack, West Virginia.”
An aunt she didn’t even know she had and was apparently killed “violently.”
Her mission would take place there, but she was never told what she had to do to pass.

Now stuck in a beautiful old Victorian house, alone with her revived familiar, Zelda finds herself inundated with injured animals who turn it to be shifters, including one sexy-as-hell wolf alpha.

Can Zelda figure out and complete her task in time or will Baba Yaga follow through on her threat?
Can she open her heart to the people in this small town who need her so desperately, or will her past keep her heart locked up tight?

Can she even keep herself alive to try?
