An unseen community, troublesome abilities, unforeseen captivation…

After a kidnapping in broad daylight, Detective Nate Hansen must work with the elusive Maggie Evans, a suspected criminal in his eyes. But as they follow the trail of the kidnappers, things are not as they appear — in fact, they shouldn’t be possible.

And the most troubling secret of all might just be Maggie’s…

Maggie seemingly has no past, is uncannily good at interrogations, has questionable friends, dangerous enemies, and is somehow on the Chief’s good side. Through her, Nate is immersed in a supernatural world he didn’t know exists, one that will turn his life upside down. And that is nothing compared to the change Maggie herself brings to his life…

If you like kick-ass heroes, high stakes, dubious allies, hot romance, and potty-mouthed attitude, then you’ll love the Ashport Mender series.

Pressed into service as a translator and thrust into the center of humanity’s first contact with a cryptic alien race, Austin must uncover their true intentions before religious turmoil rips the planet apart. But with Austin caught between the Catholic Church, the US military, and an enigmatic alien AI, he’ll have to decide where his loyalties lie as the fate of humanity hangs in the balance.

A magical bloodline. A family curse. Can Connie break the spell before it shatters her future?

A bewitching novel of a New England history professor who must race against time to free her family from a curse, by Katherine Howe, New York Times bestselling author of The Physick Book of Deliverance Dane.

Connie Goodwin is an expert on America’s fractured past with witchcraft. A young, tenure-track professor in Boston, she’s earned career success by studying the history of magic in colonial America—especially women’s home recipes and medicines—and by exposing society’s threats against women fluent in those skills. But beyond her studies, Connie harbors a secret: She is the direct descendant of a woman tried as a witch in Salem, an ancestor whose abilities were far more magical than the historical record shows.

When a hint from her mother and clues from her research lead Connie to the shocking realization that her partner’s life is in danger, she must race to solve the mystery behind a hundreds’-years-long deadly curse.

Flashing back through American history to the lives of certain supernaturally gifted women, The Daughters of Temperance Hobbs affectingly reveals not only the special bond that unites one particular matriarchal line, but also explores the many challenges to women’s survival across the decades—and the risks some women are forced to take to protect what they love most.
