Welcome to Ravenridge College. Get drunk. Make stupid decisions. And kick serious interdimensional butt. Petra Brightshade was under the impression that college meant going to, like, classes. But she was recruited to this “prestigious mage college” because she’s something called a primal. Her innate magic is uniquely suited to fighting monstrous creatures from another dimension. Those creatures are pouring through a breach in the fabric of the universe right into the college’s library. Petra would rather carve the word “primal” into her own stomach than fight those freaking creatures. She’s been fighting them her whole life, and they haunt her nightmares. But that hot gargoyle that recruited her said that she was pretty much the only hope to save the world. And he’s intriguingly straight-laced. She can’t help but want to loosen him up a bit. And it’s true that the other primals seem to subscribe to the philosophy, “Fight hard. Party harder.” So, Petra’s in. She’s going to fight. As soon as she gets some coffee, that is.

Witch, Please

Camber Fordham, female alpha of the Northeast pack, is in the capital city for two reasons. One: save her fellow alpha Judah. Two: capture Aston Waterfield so that she can honor the deal she made with the bloodhounds. Aston will remove their kill chips. But none of that is possible when Camber is blood bonded to the vampires and compelled to forget her past. It will take every connection she has and every skill she possesses to complete this mission. But first she has to remember the mission exists.

Blood Melody

Numb. That’s what Nora Sparrow is. In the wake of the destruction that Owen Asher wreaked on Helicon, her home, and after everything she did to attempt to rein him in, she is defeated and lost. A series of blows weights her further down as Coeus Dust dies, Phoebe Rain steps down from the council in her grief, and Maddie Salt succumbs again to her anorexic tendencies. As long-running relationships around her crumble, Nora struggles to know how to respond to the advances of half-fairy Roth River. It’s not until May Day, when Owen bursts back into Helicon, full of the power of the Influence, that the gang is shocked back into action. It will take everything they have within them to stop him. And, of course, it would be easier to focus on all that if they weren’t also dealing with cheating, heartbreak, and threesomes. The Helicon series is a soapy, irreverent portal fantasy wherein the drama of teen relationships tends to overshadow whatever magical threat they’re trying to fight. Lots of drinking, swearing, inappropriate sexual decisions, grappling with sexual orientation and gender, and random appearances by mythological figures thrown in for good measure. It’s genre-bending, impossible to categorize, and for everyone out there who equally loves Gossip Girl, Rocky Horror, and Narnia.

He can’t get the other two or he’ll be unstoppable. So, together, Clarke and her guys go looking for one of the remaining objects in an old southern mansion complete with gargoyle servants who turn to stone on turrets and eerie noises that come from the attic. They aren’t there long before they’re face-to-face with danger. The Brotherhood rides in on motorcycles with guns. Rogue dragons swoop in through windows. And they hear that a reprobate mage is lurking outside, eager for some vengeance of his own.

Ashes

Experience the thrilling conclusion to this spy urban fantasy series Jesse Talon wants Wyatt Flint. But it’s complicated. Because he’s got some weird connection to Morgan Steele, the woman who absorbed his arch nemesis the Green King.

Wow, is that some hot guy-on-guy PDA.) But not Jesse. She’s all about work. Once Wyatt kills Steele, then they’ll see. If Wyatt kills the Steele. It's maybe a teensy problem that they can't find her.

Code Blood

When Detective Lachlan Flint of the Sea City Police asks for my help advising him with cases involving magical creatures, I'm hesitant. Sure, I'm a dragon shifter, and I've got gargoyle friends and drake friends, and I've fought off a vampire motorcycle gang or two. The name's Penny Caspian. Nice to meet you. I've got the knowledge and the experience to be a consultant. But there's some deep-down trouble in that detective's hollow eyes, and I got enough problems of my own, chief among them my psycho ex-husband who can't seem to let go. So, I'm hesitant. But I don't say no. This is my city, and I protect my own. Check out the first three books in the City of Dragons series, bundled together for your convenience.

City of Dragons, Books 1-3

There’s a serial killer stalking dragon shifters in Sea City, and pretty boy Detective Lachlan Flint wants my help tracking the killer down. I’m a dragon shifter myself. Penny Caspian’s the name. But I’m trying to lie low, not run around interrogating half the dragon community—or one dragon in particular. My ex. Yeah, I left my destined mate. I know, I know. Dragons don’t do that. Trust me. It’s better this way. This detective, though, he’s not taking no for an answer. Did I mention he’s pretty? But haunted and hiding something. There’s some deep-down trouble in that boy’s hollow eyes, and I got enough trouble of my own. Vampire motorcycle gangs. Wounded gargoyles. Locked dragon crypts. Maybe it’s because I saw that shifter’s broken body, washed up on the beach. Maybe it’s her dead, empty eyes. It’s something, the hell if I know what, but I am going to find that killer. This is my city, and I look after my own.

Fire Song

Petra Brightshade manages to get the human part of her restored. Awesome. If only everything else didn't go to hell at the same time. Apparently, she's a magnet for angry psychos. Go figure. Chased out of her own city and on the run, Petra's got to make a choice. One, do a ritual to undo her spell, take away her humanity and restore her invulnerability, thereby rendering the aforementioned angry psycho's quest to kill her null and void. Which sounds great and all, except for it means watching the future she wants with her boyfriend Logan Gray go up in smoke. Or two, do nothing and keep fighting against an adversary she can't kill.

When her sister felt the call, she disappeared one night before the change and came back a vampire. But that’s not a solution. Her sister only lives because the vampire king took a shine to her.

She wants nothing more than to sculpt, dance, and play, the way a muse should. But her fear of Owen casts a shadow over everything. She can’t even commit to a relationship, because she fears being smothered and controlled. Everyone else thinks the threatening message in the snow was a joke.

Goodbye Blue Sky

When Nora Sparrow was a little girl and Owen Asher told her she was special, she believed him. But Nora’s fifteen now, and she’s too old to believe in magical happily-ever-afters or mystical otherworlds where she can create all day long and do what she likes. Sure, there are inexplicable things about her and Owen, like that trick he can do with his eyes that bends people to his will or the fact that storm clouds gather if she ever does one creative thing, but… Special? Her? She doesn’t even want to be special. She only wants to be like everyone else. When he begs her to try another ritual to open the dimensions, she agrees mostly to humor him. Owen’s rituals never work. Except this one does, and it’s all real. She’s a muse, not a human, and this world is Helicon—a bohemian world where the muses play hard, drink hard, throw parties, and create constantly. It’s Woodstock with magic, and here everyone is like her. She finally belongs. But Owen was right after all. Half-god Owen, the son of Dionysus, the powerful and single-minded boy whose little eye trick doesn’t work on her anymore? He was right, because she is special. She’s the only one Owen is obsessed with. And he’ll do anything to have her, to keep her, anything at all. Even tear Helicon apart at the seams.
