Book Description
Shade’s latest case hits close to home when a witch shows up on her doorstep claiming her magic has been stolen. A fly-by-night coven is using an online message board to recruit inexperienced witches—only to vanish weeks later, leaving a trail of magicless women in their wake. And it only gets weirder from there. An offer of help from a familiar, but unwelcome source. Growing discord from Scath threatening to play right into their enemies’ hands. And the mutilated body of a solitary witch. Now it’s personal. There’s something theatrical about these magic thefts, something beyond a simple lust for power. Someone is pulling the strings—and there’s no shortage of puppeteers among Shade’s suspects. But a witch can only be pushed so far. And Shade has had enough.

A set of enchanted goblets has been stolen, and he wants her to find the thief. To make matters interesting, Flint has a relationship with the Seelie lord in question— He's his stepbrother. Cael is proof that not all horrors come from the darkness. As the most infamous interrogator for the Court of Light and Illusion, he’s built a reputation for torture that goes beyond the physical.

Book Description
Shade’s FBI partner has shot a kelpie. Again. And this time, the law may not be on his side… Agent Andrew Bradford once used deadly force to stop a kelpie from kidnapping a human teenager. And now Shade has gotten a call saying he’s done it again. Flesh-eating kelpie dead, human victim saved. At least, he thinks that’s what happened. He doesn’t remember. His inability to clearly recall the night’s events forces Shade to seek answers among the monsters of the Otherworld. She’ll have to question scheming leannan sidhe, malicious waterhorses, and take a dangerous step into the world of vampire politics. Otherworlders are nothing if not opportunistic. And there are plenty of powerful players ready to take advantage of Shade’s desperation to do whatever it takes to save her partner… The Blood Trails series is a fusion of contemporary fantasy and cozy mystery that combines a classic private investigator/whodunnit with the sarcasm, magic, and pulse-pounding battles that have made the urban fantasy genre so famous. Join a witch detective and her quirky pixie familiar as they take on vampires, werewolves, wizards, sorceresses, and a whole lot more. After all, nothing relieves stress like a little magic, mayhem…and murder. All of my books are written in the same universe (yes, the Blood Trails series is contemporary, not historical like the Blood Prince/Blood Realm series—so you’ll have to read Deadline to find out how I managed that…). Be ready for crossovers and cameos!
