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?

Drinking blood sucks.

Governor’s daughter Jane Anderson is used to getting what she wants. When a girls’ trip to Mardi Gras thrusts her into the arms—and fangs—of New Orleans’ hottest vampire, he gifts her with immortality, super strength, and a complexion to die for.

There’s only one tiny problem. Jane faints at the sight of blood.

When Ethan Devereaux meets Jane, his cold, lifeless heart learns to beat again. Convinced she’s his late fiancée reincarnated, he turns her, claiming her as his own. But when Jane wakes up dead in Ethan’s attic, she’s loud, obnoxious, and downright ornery. He doesn’t know if he should kiss her or stake her, but one thing’s for certain…

She is so not his long-lost love.

But Ethan turned her, so he’s stuck with her. Jane has three weeks to learn the ways of the vampire and get her license, or she’ll be staked. If Ethan can’t help her overcome her aversion to blood, his undead life might also be on the line.

Join the supes of New Orleans Nocturnes as they lighten up the darker side of the Big Easy in this fast, steamy romantic comedy.

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?
