For a fleeting moment, I had magic. Powerful magic. But the Dark Prince's enemy stole it from me, making them the most powerful being in the world. Their primary goal is to destroy everything close to the Dark Prince, and that includes me.With the threat of a magicless world, the prince's life in danger, my loved ones at risk, and the impending destruction of the underworld, we're in for a hell of a fight.This time, however, my goals don't align with the prince's and he isn't my strongest ally. It turns out we're each other's greatest weakness.

For most of my life, all I wanted was magic. Now I have it. Powerful magic. And I can say with certainty, the cost for it was way too high. My life is in shambles. The most powerful vampire in the city wants me to help sire a family as repayment for a debt. I'm at war with elves. The local werewolves' leader won't stop being a certifiable Alpha-hole. And Mephisto has been banished from my world. I thought things couldn't get worse.I was so wrong.After being framed to make it look as if I betrayed the fae, I've become a target of their wrath. And it's terrifying. If I can't fix this, I won't even have to worry about all my other problems.

My rules for survival: Never trust a demon or make a deal with one. But trapped in the demon realm, I have no choice but to break both rules if I want to escape.What's waiting for me on the other side? A bloodthirsty god who wants to kill me-did I mention it's my mother? An unforgiving fae who doesn't care that we're related and wants me gone, at any cost. And I have a debt to repay to the city's most notorious vampire, who I gave the finger to - literally - during our last encounter. But I'm sure all is forgiven. Right?My life is hell.

When a god wants you dead, it's safe to assume life can't get any worse. Wrong. I'm enemy-number-one to a powerful fae and I've ticked off the Master of the vampires one too many times.Life-or rather, death-is coming at me fast. I definitely didn't expect a demon placing a bounty on me to be added to the what-the-hell-else-could-go-wrong Bingo card.Adding to my problems, the two men in my life are pushing me to make a choice that could not only cost me a friendship but a valued ally.What do I do when: one of the most powerful beings in the world wants me dead, I'm out of my depth in unknown magic, and my allies could become my enemies?I'll do what I always do when I'm against the ropes or cornered-fight harder.Because there is only one option: Survive.

Being part of the Midwest Pack isn't easy-especially now.My life has never been simple-and it only keeps getting more complicated.

The list of suspects grows as I realize that mating with Ethan has caused allies to become enemies. Will I locate the missing in time or will I be the last Alpha standing?I don't know who I can trust. Too many people want me dead, including a new group of witches who want to rid the world of were-animals, especially those who can wield magic like me and Ethan.Adding to the problems is a new group of vampires, who would do anything necessary to gain control of the Northern Seethe and the power it holds over the Midwest, including hurting the people I love. There's no way I'm going to let that happen. But will my life be the cost for their protection?

Who would have thought that a mysterious and powerful man who chose to go by the name Mephisto would be more than meets the eye? I did! And yet I still wasn't prepared for what I discovered about him.He's a wildcard. But with so many people wanting me dead, I need all the friends I can get.My life is quickly becoming a cornucopia of crap, and I don't need any more enemies or any more trouble. Yet, somehow, I manage to get both when the most powerful vampire in the city hires me for a job. At first, it seems simple enough. All I have to do is negotiate the acquisition of a weapon that can kill his kind faster than a stake to the heart-without betraying my client or pissing off a vampire, especially the Master of the City.Of course, being the overachiever that I am, I unintentionally betray my client and piss off the Master of the City.Now I have a mere seventy-two hours to fix my mistakes, or the Master will claim my life as payment for my failure. And he's made it clear there won't be any renegotiations.

I wouldn't say my life is a dumpster fire-but it's far from typical. I'm frenemies with the local werewolves' Alpha, my clients are shady as hell, and my magic falls firmly in the WTF category. Mephisto, my mysterious and powerful client, is more interested in my magic than the jobs he's hired me for. And I'm pretty sure my court-ordered therapist thinks I'm an ass.Maybe it's not a dumpster fire, but it is a hot mess.That said, I'm good at my job. Anytime a curse goes wrong, a magical object is lost, or a rogue supernatural needs apprehending, I'm the person you call.My new assignment is supposed to be simple: Just find a coveted magical object. Instead my client is abducted, I'm pulled into the underbelly of the magical world, and a spell is cast on me that reveals a mark of the raven.Now I'm being hunted by the people I used to hunt. I've piqued the interest of the magical elite. And I don't know who wants me as an ally and who wants me dead.I have to fix this.Because if I don't, I won't survive.~~~~"This book was phenomenal! If you're a fan of Jeaniene Frost's Night Huntress series or Chloe Neill's Chicagoland Vampires series, you will LOVE this one! It's action-packed with a kick-butt heroine, supernatural powers, and solving a mystery for the greater good." ~~~Rainey Day Blog "This book has great characters, a good story that promises much more to come, great pace, action, humor, and definitely some sexual tension. " ~~~Goodreads Review "Every single character is shrouded in mystery and it made for quite the thrilling ride. This is an incredible start to a new UF series and a breath of fresh air in a genre that seems saturated with the same recycled formulas." ~~~Goodreads Review.

What happens when your only allies are your enemies?Just survive. That's been my goal since uncovering a dangerous secret: I died at birth and became host to a very powerful spirit shade. Now I have the rare ability to manipulate magic-an ability some would kill for. Needing to lie low, I declined membership in the Midwest Pack, the most powerful pack in the country, under the foolish impression that I could just return to my normal life. I was wrong.After a number of attacks on the pack and the vampires, where I risk my life to protect the members, it becomes apparent that the Midwest Pack and their rivals, the Northern Seethe, are under siege. I'm linked to the attackers and the pack wants my help in finding those responsible. Reluctantly I'm drawn back into the pack's world and their golden rule: Protect the pack at all costs.To find the person responsible, I must work with the Seethe's hunter, Chris. She should be a welcome asset with her connections and extensive knowledge of the otherworld, but her turbulent history with the Seethe and Midwest Pack only causes more conflict between the enemies-turned-allies.Once again, I must navigate the lies, secrets, and strange politics that govern the otherworld while struggling not to draw attention to my abilities. Will I be able to find the culprits-and get out alive?

The Midwest Pack stands together-and they might fall together.We've always kept our existence hidden from humans, but when a video of a were-animal in a violent confrontation goes viral, the other denizens take drastic measures to protect themselves from exposure. Alliances are broken and friendships strained as the vampires, witches, and elves all work to protect their own interests.Staying hidden becomes impossible when humans, backed by an old enemy, set out to expose the pack's existence. Ethan and I have more than us being werewolves to hide. Our long-hidden secrets have drawn the attention of someone who poses a greater threat than exposure. As the world around me unravels, Ethan and I must confront the dangerous consequences of the secrets we worked so hard to protect. When all our secrets are revealed, will any of us survive?

No one said life was going to be easy, but mine just keeps getting harder.My best friend has been abducted by a madman who seems to have returned from the dead with the sole goal of seeking revenge against me. She's my friend, but she's also essential in finding a cure for a virus that has the potential to destroy the supernatural world. Did I mention there's a war brewing between supernaturals and humans? My people, the Legacy, were responsible for the first supernatural war, and now I'm tasked with preventing the second.

The only thing standing between me and death is my secret. I'm a Legacy-a secret I'd planned on taking to my grave. Gareth, the enigmatic leader of the Supernatural Guild, knows it, but can I trust him to keep it? When mysterious deaths occur as a result of magic that mimics my own, I no longer have to worry about Gareth exposing me - it will be one of my own that does. Another Legacy is causing the chaos, and I'm forced to hunt my own kind. It seems simple, but we've existed for as long as we have because we're better hunters than prey. I'm forced to work with Gareth to clear my name and find the Legacy responsible. Not only is my secret about to be revealed-so is his. Gareth is much more dangerous than I expected. Is he my friend or my enemy?

Secrets have consequences-and so do truths. I've been outed as a Legacy and there's nothing I can do but deal with the aftermath. I thought I could handle it-I was wrong. The city is in chaos, and I have more enemies than allies. Some that I once called allies have quickly become my betrayers. Just when I didn't think things could get any worse, Conner resurfaces and he's ready to make everyone pay. Especially me. He's the least of my worries: a supernatural assassin has been brought in to kill all the Legacy-and he's good at his job. One by one we are being killed off. Gareth, my only true ally, has his own problems dealing with another group that is set on ridding the world of supernaturals. Unless I can get the assassin before he gets me and Gareth can stop an organization bent on xenophobic destruction, we don't stand a chance in hell of surviving this.

A shapeshifter who possesses magic shouldn't exist, and some people want to keep it that way. My life will never be simple again. As a werewolf who is a host to a powerful spirit shade, I possess the ability to manipulate magic, among other things-and that means I have many enemies. In need of allies, I join the Midwest Pack.Being part of the pack is supposed to make things better. It doesn't. After performing a powerful spell to protect Ethan, I'm punished and cursed by the Creed, the ruling body of the witches, who will do anything to get rid of me. While seeking a way to lift my curse, the pack find themselves tasked with guarding a book of magic that everyone wants, including the Creed. In the wrong hands, it can destroy the otherworld and ignite a battle that no one can win.Pulled into the Midwest Pack's clandestine world of strange politics, dark secrets, and hidden dangers makes me wonder if joining the pack was a bad decision. I'm enticed when a powerful and mysterious witch claims he can make it all stop: break the curse, stop the rivalries, even undo my lycanthropy. But the witch's help comes at a price-the betrayal of my pack. Which will I choose?
