Find Your My eBooks and Audiobooks at Your Local Library with Overdrive/Libby, CloudLibrary, Hoopla, and More

I love to read! I also have a teenage son who consumes a gallon of milk every other day, and a growing daughter who needs new clothes and shoes on the regular.

I support my book habit by frequenting my local library. Maybe you do, too. All my books are currently available to libraries through Overdrive/Libby (the most popular app), CloudLibrary, BorrowBox, Hoopla, and more. If your local library loans out ebooks, but doesn’t have mine, they’ll have a way to request it.

If your library doesn’t loan ebooks or audiobooks, you may be able to get a library card at a larger library system for a modest fee. Here is a website that lists libraries with non-resident borrowing priveleges.

Combined for the first time in one volume are the first three books of the internationally bestselling urban fantasy epic – CLOAK OF DRAGONS, CLOAK OF WOLVES, and CLOAK OF ASHES!

My name is Nadia, and I’m an errand girl.

Except my boss is the High Queen of the Elves.

And my errands for her involve spying on people. Or stealing things. Or hunting down monsters. Or, on occasion, killing people.

But this time she wants me to solve a murder.

And unless I find the killer, I’m going to be his next target…because dragons never forgive a murder.

Supernatural crime, vampy romance, and a few loose screws…

Detective Jenna Skye bombs her first week on the St. Louis Vice Squad when she’s bitten by a vampire in a supernatural brothel. Her day only gets worse from there. She wakes up in the morgue and discovers that her partner is dead. Before the sun rises, she realizes she is too.

Jenna vows to continue their investigation until justice is served, but a werewolf squatter, an unexpected visit from her estranged sister, and a nosy FBI agent stand in her way. Not to mention her fresh aversion to sunlight and a thirst for something a little stiffer than revenge.

New to Jenna and House Lilith?
If you love urban fantasy with paranormal law enforcement and modern vampire royalty, then this is the series for you!

Featured Fantasy: A Twist of Demon (Cocktails in Hell Book 1) by S.E. Babin

Potions, portals, and one very annoying demon—Violet’s life is about to go straight to hell.

Want longer hair, whiter teeth, or a smaller nose? Violet can whip up a potion faster than you can say “enchanted facelift.” Need to hex your ex or curse your boss?

Well…it will cost you.

By day, Violet is a charlatan running a tourist-trap potion shop in New Orleans. By night, she’s the real deal—a rare Potion Master whose store sits smack on the portal between Earth and Hell, serving magical creatures who should absolutely not be allowed in public.

She’s also the official protector of both realms, which is unfortunate because she is objectively terrible at her job.

When the last Potion Master dies a gruesome death and a handsome, obnoxiously hot demon drags Violet out of anonymity, her powers spike, her shop transforms, and her life immediately goes to hell. Literally.

Now supernatural beings either want to date her or kill her, and Violet’s not sure which fate is worse.

With a demon glued to her side and danger lurking in every shadow, she has to master her magic, figure out who wants her dead, and maybe stop drooling over her demonic babysitter—before she ends up the next Potion Master with her own tragic obituary.

S.E. Babin delivers wicked humor, chaotic magic, and sizzling paranormal tension in A Twist of Demon. Fans of snark-filled urban fantasy and flirty demon romance will devour Violet’s misadventures as she tries—and mostly fails—to keep the realms from falling apart.
