Book Description
The complete Grim and Grimmer humorous fantasy quartet for primary readers. It’s not easy to be a hero when your bum is the size of an airship and you’re bobbing around the ceiling, mocked by angry dwarves. The Fey Queen, Emajicka, is stealing the children of Grimmery for her Collection. She bathes in their nightmares to relieve her own. There is one nightmare she wants most of all. If Ike had stayed home that Tuesday, he would not have been expelled from school, betrayed a princess or robbed a murderous queen. He would not have been tied to an insane imp desperate to eat his liver. He certainly would not have floated across a strange land on an impossible rescue mission, powered by exploding manure. Nor would he have tried to escape via that disastrous troll-bum door. But can he ever escape the Nightmare Queen? Reviews “The funniest horror story you’ll read in a long while – Ian Irvine is a master of fantasy and this is the best yet.” Good Reading “Entertainingly written in an energetic, descriptive style. An extraordinary fantasy world. Fast and furious and very funny.” Reading Time “Irvine has great fun creating his world. Funny and fast-paced, Ike’s story reads briskly, leavened with a little horror and a dash of scatological humour. A fun adventure for upper-primary readers. Recommended.” Bookseller and Publisher “The Headless Highwaymanis the first book in the Grim and Grimmer series from fantasy genius Ian Irvine, who manages to create a world which is believable, thrilling and funny all rolled into one.” Aussiereviews.com “The Grasping Goblintakes the two reluctant heroes on a very wild ride. Very funny too, as well as dangerous, gory and grotty. A grand adventure.” Aussiereviews.com “I gasped and laughed my way through these three books. Action packed.” Dee White, Kid’s Book Capers. “A wonderful tale. Delightfully dark and delicious.” Jacq Ellem, hittheroadjacq.com “Fantasy genius Ian Irvine manages to create a world which is believable, thrilling and funny all rolled into one.” Aussiereviews.com on The Calamitous Queen

Pages : 849
Book Description
In this tantalizing box set, dive into the unexpected life of a vlogger turned vampire, where love, danger, and eternal intrigue intertwine across three captivating books. Follow her journey from the vibrant streets of New Orleans to the shadowy corners of vampire society as she navigates newfound immortality, a legendary romance with Dracula, and threats lurking in the night. With a blend of humor, heart, and a dash of fang-filled drama, this series will leave you thirsting for more. Dating Dracula Yesterday, I was a wannabe journalist hunting for a juicy story in a seedy vampire club. Today, I'm the newest member of the undead country club, thanks to Dracula himself. He’s not just a vampire, he’s the vampire—a legend wrapped in an enigma with a seductive smile and hypnotic eyes that are impossible to ignore. Especially when he claims I’m his soulmate. Now, navigating my new immortal life involves more than just adjusting to fangs; it's about resisting (or not) the allure of the most infamous vampire ever. But first, I have to settle the score with the vampire who tried to murder me in the first place. Loving Dracula Just when I thought I had a handle on my new nocturnal lifestyle, I’m hit with the next challenge—introducing my soulmate and love of my life, Dracula, to my family. Think your family dinners are tense? Try bringing home the Prince of Darkness himself. And if that isn't enough, the Queen of Vampires has sent an inquisitor to question us about her mate’s untimely demise. Apparently, self-defense doesn’t fly in vampire court. My life has become really dangerous since dying. Who knew eternity would involve not just surviving family gatherings, but also evading the wrath of a vengeful vampire queen? Marrying Dracula My life has taken yet another unexpected turn, and this time, it’s taken me to a dungeon cell in jolly old England, far from the wedding bells I imagined. Separated from Dracula and facing the vampire queen's fury, I'm ready to fight for our love and a chance at forever. It’s do-or-die time—quite literally. I’m not about to lose Vlad, not when our forever is at stake. The queen is about to learn how far I'll go to protect my happily ever after. It might be time to put her back in her grave—permanently.

Book Description
he Sheriff’s Fugitive Bride Phoebe Reed made the mistake of going into town. Maybe that wasn’t the mistake. Maybe it was staying in town after dark. Or maybe it was running into the saloon girl. Or maybe it was lying about the stolen wallet the saloon girl slipped her. Maybe it was a series of mistakes that have left her in hot water with the town’s hunky sheriff, Rance Connelly. Rance takes his job as the town’s law seriously. He managed the lawlessness with a sensible head and a no-nonsense manner. He knows this woman’s lying to him. He just can’t peg why. He also knows she’s not a saloon girl. Why won’t she tell him her name? Why won’t she confess to stealing the wallet? He’s got a mystery to solve but darned if his heart doesn’t get in the way of his head when it comes to the mysterious unnamed woman. An Undercover Detective’s Bride Rachel Reed left Baltimore with a secret that none of her sisters are aware of. A secret so sinister she fears that drastic means need to be taken to protect herself and the ones she loves. She’d hoped she’d left the secret behind in Baltimore, until one fateful day a presence on the streets of Carson City brings the whole matter full circle. Mason Murphy’s on a mission to protect a witness from a group of criminals with one intent—leave no witnesses. Matters become complicated when the witness is the woman he fell in love with. A woman who left Baltimore abruptly and without notice. He could have lived without her. Maybe. But he can’t live with the knowledge that a band of thugs wants her dead. An Inconvenient Bride Kidnapped and held for ransom, Holly Reed escapes and makes a run for it. Half Indian, half Scottish, Roan MacIntosh’s just another mountain man. One who wants to be left alone.

And now, Holly Reed, the one who needed saving is the one to do the saving. A Bargain for a Bride Cate Reed has one ambition. One dream. One goal. A theatre in Carson City. How can they not have one? So uncivilized. This dream of hers goes against the grain of her sisters, and it seems ,of most polite society. Polite society be damned, Cate Reed’s going to get her theatre, come hell or high water. Or a man who has a bargain. Cate Reed’s made a deal with a devil. A devilishly handsome stranger named Landon Jenkins. Landon Jenkins needs an actress to perform the role of a lifetime. Is Cate that actress? And will she get what she wants or what she needs?
