The first five books of the Supernaturals Underground Series are now available as a complete series in one boxset! Binge on a young adult urban fantasy series with heart-stopping adventure, shocking secrets, dark magic, and slow-burn romance!

I’ve been a vampire for fourteen of my sixteen years.

It hasn’t been easy pretending to be normal so I don’t get taken away by the Supernatural-hating authorities. Even school is a nightmare, and the last thing I want to do is bite someone. And my life is about to get much worse.

When the authorities catch on to me and I learn that the city’s mayor is rounding up all Supernaturals, I get kidnapped…um, rescued by Xavier Lovelli, an impossibly hot Mage full of himself. Oh, and the mayor? He’s a secret demon who wants me, and me specifically, for some diabolical plan to end the world.

Oh, if only I could walk away from my nature, but there’s one complicating factor.

Xavier has bound me to him magically so that we must fight together or die. Without my permission. And I’m stuck working with him because the mayor is using my father as bait.

Yikes. Looks like it’s time to face my nature, and time to knock Xavier down a notch.

In Neil’s mind it started with the man in the park. Or, more specifically, with the vicious bite the man had given Neil. He was wrong about that. The December Plague had started weeks earlier, though no one knew it.

The early symptoms were so mild that almost no one noticed them. A scratchy throat. A feeling of lethargy that you just can’t shake. But then the slurring started. And an intense irritability. Finally, an irresistible urge to bite and consume accompanying an uncontrollable rage.

The Infected cannot be reasoned with and there is no known cure. They cannot recognize even their closest friends. Anything that attracts their notice risks being torn apart, including one another. Quarantined in a desperate attempt to contain the December Plague, the patients and staff of Wing Memorial hospital are left to fend for themselves. When the small security force sent to aid them are wiped out, the Infected run loose in the halls and Neil is trapped inside with them. Even worse is the knowledge that containment has failed and the outside world has no idea what’s coming.

Win the game, change your fate. Lose the game, lose your life.When Alice Liddell runs away on the night of her engagement party and stumbles into a shadowy pub on a forgotten street, she thinks her life is ruined. Her parents are furious, her reputation is destroyed, and her fall from society will be printed in all of London’s gossip columns. Then a mysterious stranger gives her an unexpected solution to all of her problems: A yearly game inviting mortals into the land of Faerie to play the queen’s infamous Game of Hearts. To win is to gain a wish of your heart but to lose means sacrificing your freedom.

Alice quickly realizes the game is far more intricate and deadly than she was led to believe and teams up with the rebellious and irreverent cat-shifter Ches. Together they must outwit the other players by solving the obscure riddles given as clues and get out of the queen’s enchanted hedge maze unscathed. It also means staying far away from Maddox, the queen’s champion player and Alice’s fiercest competition. He’s determined to win at all costs, but Alice suspects his motives may not be his own.

The deeper Alice goes inside the world of cunning fae, bloodthirsty beasts, and vengeful queens, the more she fears that winning means betraying those closest to her. And in this Game of Hearts, Alice needs to guard hers.

This 1920’s Alice in Wonderland reimagining is the second book in the Otherworlds Trilogy and is perfect for fans of fairytale retellings with dark twists, atmospheric settings, and slow burn romance that’s swoony, not spicy.
