Project Demon Hunters is what you might get if you mashed The X-Files and The Conjuring movies together, then threw in secrets, lies, a dollop of unresolved sexual tension, and scenes that’ll make you think twice about reading in the house alone!

This boxed set includes the first three books in the Project Demon Hunters series:

Unquiet Souls

On the surface, psychologist Audrey Barrett is the perfect co-host for Michael Covenant’s new cable series, Project Demon Hunters. There’s just one problem. Michael has made it his mission to stay out of her orbit.

After the tragedy that took her parents, Audrey keeps herself on the fringe of the paranormal world. But with her small therapy practice floundering, the money the show’s offering is too good to pass up.

But when they step inside a rundown mansion, things start flying. Worse, evil follows Audrey home — and she discovers why Michael is the last man she should let herself trust.

Unbound Spirits

When Audrey fails to show up in Tucson to film the second episode of Project Demon Hunters, Michael’s sense of foreboding is confirmed when his psychic gift pinpoints the exact spot where she was kidnapped. No telling where she is now.

Audrey is shocked her kidnapper is the demon she and Michael just killed — or so she thought. In revenge for their closing his personal portal to hell, he plans to crush Audrey’s throat.

Like a homing beacon, Audrey’s soul reaches out for Michael, but he fears that even if he reaches her in time, this fight isn’t over.

Unholy Ground

Audrey Barrett tries to play hero while filming Project Demon Hunters but fails — at a terrible cost. Now the network has pulled the plug on the show, and they’re all out of a job. At least she still has Michael safely at her side.

But as they tie up loose ends, they come across clear signs that the demon that’s been making their lives miserable isn’t through with them after all. Now they have no choice but to confront evil on its own turf…and not even an ocean of holy water will help them.

From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of These Violent Delights and Our Violent Ends comes the “equal parts intoxicating and dazzling” (Roshani Chokshi, New York Times bestselling author of The Gilded Wolves) first book in a captivating new duology following an ill-matched pair of spies posing as a married couple to investigate a series of brutal murders in 1930s Shanghai.

It’s 1931 in Shanghai, and the stage is set for a new decade of intrigue.

Four years ago, Rosalind Lang was brought back from the brink of death, but the strange experiment that saved her also stopped her from sleeping and aging—and allows her to heal from any wound. In short, Rosalind cannot die. Now, desperate for redemption for her traitorous past, she uses her abilities as an assassin for her country.

Code name: Fortune.

But when the Japanese Imperial Army begins its invasion march, Rosalind’s mission pivots. A series of murders is causing unrest in Shanghai, and the Japanese are under suspicion. Rosalind’s new orders are to infiltrate foreign society and identify the culprits behind the terror plot before more of her people are killed.

To reduce suspicion, however, she must pose as the wife of another Nationalist spy, Orion Hong, and though Rosalind finds Orion’s cavalier attitude and playboy demeanor infuriating, she is willing to work with him for the greater good. But Orion has an agenda of his own, and Rosalind has secrets that she wants to keep buried. As they both attempt to unravel the conspiracy, the two spies soon find that there are deeper and more horrifying layers to this mystery than they ever imagined.

She’s a witch with no powers. He’s a shape-shifting vampire. Trusting him could save her… or cost her everything.

Brielle Gerrick can’t access her magic. In an effort to awaken her powers, she gets sucked into a time portal—to a castle in Spain in the year 1735.

The castle is attacked by demons. Their leader is a shape-shifting vampire named Leo Serrano, an arrogant creep who enjoys taunting Brielle.

When Brielle’s dark powers awaken, the others in the castle turn on her. They try to capture her and uncover the source of her magic before it unleashes itself.

Desperate to escape, Brielle must put her trust in Leo and his coven of vampires. She’ll do anything to master her powers and get back home.

Even if it means surrendering herself to her enemy.

★★★★★ “I am a big fan of R.L.’s world building, her characters’ banter, the sweet romances, and the way she writes strong women who are truly finding their place in the world. I loved Brielle and really thought this story was fun and unique! Can’t wait to read the rest of the series.” – Joss Walker, New York Times bestselling author of Tomb of the Queen.

The islands of Caldera are a shining jewel in a rather bleak world. A terrible calamity in the past had blanketed much of the world with a toxic “fug.” Those who survived were forced to take to the mountains and the skies in wondrous airships. Life has since been a struggle, with only the most ruthless and crafty able to survive. To spare themselves the same fate, the Calderans erected a battery of guns to fend off the airships of the mainland. They isolated themselves from the madness of the world, choosing instead to focus on the pursuits of art and creativity. Few believe the technologically advanced but socially barbarous outsiders have anything to offer. Amanita Graus, though, is hoping that they do.

Nita’s mother has lost her livelihood and perhaps soon her life to a terrible disease. Already the black sheep of the family for embracing engineering rather than art, Nita resolves to leave the safety of her home and do whatever it takes to find a cure. For a price, the bizarre crew of an airship called The Wind Breaker are willing to grant her a meeting with their mysterious benefactors, and thus a chance to procure the one thing with a chance to save her mother.
Free-Wrench follows Nita’s adventures in a steampunk world of airships and lunatics. Helping her in her journey are an eccentric crew of smugglers; the gruff Cap’n Mack, the simple but enthusiastic Lil and Coop, the arrogant marksman Gunner, the surly surgeon Butch, and the irritable mascot Wink. To survive and find what she seeks she’ll need to earn their trust, follow their rules, and meet face to face with the people who pull the strings of their society.

Can this witch survive in a world of magic, possibilities, danger, and love?

Ebony Bell owns a cantankerous magical bookstore with a personality like a battering ram. Her best friend is a detective who drives like a bat out of hell. And a tall, dark, handsome, but seriously irritating stranger by the name of Nathan Wall has just walked into her life.

Oh, and she’s a witch. A consultant witch, to be precise. She spends her mornings selling books and her evenings investigating magical crimes for the local police department.

While her life is messy, she manages, until one investigation ends in a costly mistake. She reveals her powers to a normal human, and in punishment is severed from her magic for one lunar cycle. If that was her only problem, she would cope, but very soon darkness surrounds her.

Something is after Ebony Bell. She must fight it, or die. And if that wasn’t bad enough, she has to rely on the help, and kisses, of that darn Nathan Wall.
