Camille Ellis is the Earthen Conclave's golden girl. Her peculiar talent solves cases with a touch. She isn't afraid of getting her hands dirty, but every bright star casts a shadow, and her deepest scars lurk just beneath the skin. A routine consultation goes sideways when a victim's brother gets involved in the investigation. Riding the edge of grief, the warg will go to any lengths to avenge his sister's death. Even if it means ensuring Cam's cooperation at the jaws of his wolf.

Camille Ellis has tracked many killers during her career, but this time it's personal. Cut off from conclave resources, she won't let a small thing like a suspension keep her from accepting Cord Graeson's offer of help. Pretending to be mated to him is one way to secure allies, but the best that can be said of the Chandler Pack is they haven't killed or eaten her.

Harlow Bevans was a changeling mermaid working as a diving consultant for the Earthen Conclave. Then he came along. Charybdis. A serial killer who possessed her body and wrecked her mind. Now she's an inmate - patient - at Edelweiss Mental Institution. When a haunting song lures her to the scene of a brutal murder, the calm of the past few months is shattered. A fellow patient is dead, and Harlow is caught standing over his body.

Camille Ellis has gone rogue agent, and there's no turning back now. The conclave might have put the Charybdis case to bed, but Cam isn't willing to let it lie. No badge doesn't mean no backup these days. As mate to an alpha warg, she has access to new and lethal resources. A whole pack full of them. And they all want justice for the sins committed against them. But the stakes are higher than she knows, the secrets exposed darker than she feared, and the cost of winning higher than she ever imagined.

The ink on Roland Halloway’s P.I. license is barely dry when blue crystals and murdered bodies collide with his own fractured war memories. The perpetual twilight city of Ebonreach, where memory rain falls and magitech shields fail, conceals darker secrets than even a whiskey-numb veteran can fathom. He’s not on the case alone, though. With the alluring wood elf Amoretta wielding forbidden memory magic and a seductive succubus nightclub singer pulling deadly strings, Roland races through neon-soaked back alleys and shadowy underground tunnels in search of answers.

I should have just kept ignoring my phone. Just like I've been doing for the last couple months. It's been a concerted effort, since my investigation skills are in demand after a string of high-profile cases. But I haven't been interested in more business. I've been more focused on other things. Too bad Serena Adams doesn't care what I want. Hell, she doesn't even want to hire me. She just wants me to know that three bodies are going to drop today. And that after the tally hits three . . . I'm next.

Now that my nero-craft has been triggered, I’m off to the Iron Grove compound, along with my hot druid boyfriend and his violently awesome sister, to learn magic from the best of the best. Of course, not every druid or tru-craft witch is happy about me adding water magic to the earth, fire, and air magic I already wield. There is even talk of a test they want me to take that sounds about as much fun as an alien probing. No, thank you. I’ll have to rely on allies, old and new if I want to survive the incoming tide of enemies who want me to drown in my own magic.

Once you eliminate your biggest enemy, your life should settle down, right? Jacobs is gone, and part-elf Aella and her mythical friends are taking a breather. But should Aella really relax?

Simon Canderous, of the Department of Extraordinary Affairs, is used to fighting vampires and zombies. But the strange murder of a professor has everyone stumped. And it's making some people crazy. Literally.

Fate or destiny or a god with a really messed-up sense of humor has dropped a weapon that could rewrite the universe right into the middle of London, and anybody with half a sniff of arcane power has rocked up to stake their claim on it. Last time this happened, the city went to pieces. This time, it might just go to hell. Also, I'm still dating a vampire.

Horsetooth Reservoir is an artificial body of water in land-locked Colorado. So how did a mermaid end up there? Cormac, former bounty hunter turned supernatural problem solver, doesn't much care how she got there. But he's determined to get her home, no matter who tries to stop him.

Humanity stands at the brink of extinction. Earth has been bombarded by forces beyond our understanding. In the aftermath, monsters rule the Earth while humanity is forced into a few small safe zones, but not all is lost.

A new Prism has appeared, but the monster waves are coming faster than ever. Will humanity's hope prove to be too little, too late? Meanwhile, Aden has too many voices to listen to. This is his life, but it turns out much of what he thought he knew about his past may be false.

Enemies abound, within and without. The newest foe Aden had to face only showed that it's time for the kid gloves to come off. Aden will have to call on all of his bonds and gather every ally he can if they are to win.

“One leaps, one slides, one flies. One will be chosen. One will be copied. One will be lost.” Those are the words of Sybilla's prophecy. Her visions all seem to come true in one way or another. Now the lives of three young women and the destiny of a hero hang in the balance.

Aden and team have won the day, but not without paying a price. Some traitors have been reveals and others defeated. He has gained the resources of an entire robotics company and with it gained a measure of independence, but for every solution there seems to be another question. Aden will do what he does best: survive and push on. The key difference between now and the rest of his life is that he doesn't have to do it alone.

Waking up in a theme-park world run amok was a bit rough. But leveling up to be an epic hero, seizing a mountain of treasure, and romancing a bevy of beauties isn't too bad. My name is Danny Abbott.

The monsters are real, the perils are deadly, and the people in charge are long since gone.
