Dragons aren’t real. Magic is fictitious.

And nothing I know is true.

When Ricki violently stumbles across magic at an elite nightclub, her life explodes. It turns out she’s an impossibly rare fire witch. Worse, dragons – the top of magic’s food chain – are bred to want her power. When the city’s most mysterious dragon offers her a deal, she takes it. He’ll protect her, and she’ll hunt for him.

Dark dragons called absorbers are stealing people’s life force. She has the unique ability to trick and catch them. But it’ll come at a cost. For those at the top don’t fall easily.

Ricki is soon sucked into a violent world of power, intrigue, fire, and death. With only a standoffish ghost, her burgeoning skills, and a mysterious playboy dragon to help her, she’ll have to learn what her body is built for. Fire. It fills her, and no matter how hard the dragons try to suppress it, it will fight back.

…

Drag it On follows a new witch and her dragon keeper fighting to rein in unchecked magical power. If you love your urban fantasies with action, heart, and a splash of romance, grab Drag it On Book One today and soar free with an Odette C. Bell series.

She swore to serve him. He wants nothing more than to set her free.

Avinasi Lumadai has given her oath, and to her people, an oath is not something that can simply be abandoned. She is Skamsen Duhkai’s slave, bound to follow three steps behind her master wherever he chooses to go.

Skamsen would rather she didn’t.

Once a highly trained assassin, Skamsen has turned his back on that life for the quieter work of a bounty hunter. But there is one piece of his past he has never been able to leave behind: the murder of his wife and unborn child. After years of searching, he finally has a trail to the man responsible—and he intends to follow it to the end.

Avinasi intends to follow him.

Their journey carries them across a dangerous empire of bounty hunters, soldiers, assassins, rebels, and men willing to kill for secrets best left buried. But the farther Avinasi travels from everything she has ever known, the more she begins to see the man beneath her master’s anger. And she becomes convinced Skamsen is wrong about himself.

He believes vengeance is all he has left. She believes there is still something in him worth saving.

Unfortunately, Skamsen never asked to be saved.

An epic fantasy of dangerous journeys, unlikely companionship, loyalty, vengeance, and the complicated bonds created by promises that cannot easily be broken, Three Steps Back: First Command begins the Twice Seven a Slave series.

A delightfully twisty, magic-packed cozy whodunit by National Bestseller Devon Monk

Come for the dining…stay for the criming…

Piper Themati is a waitress and seer who see flashes of futures that might come true. She’s gotten good at interpreting her quirky visions, but lately they’ve been static-filled and confusing.

When she stumbles upon a dead body outside the diner and her friend is there with blood on her hands, Piper has a choice: mind her own business and let the police solve the crime, or jump in with her unreliable power to try and clear her friend’s name.

Piper and her besties Medusa (yes, that Medusa) and Jules (the town’s most powerful witch) are on the case. But to catch a killer, Piper’s going to have to out think a magical thief, stay one step ahead of the police, and take on a power dangerous enough to stop time…

From New York Times bestselling author Angie Fox

Just because she can see the dead doesn’t mean Verity Long wants to spend her days hunting ghosts. Instead, she’s over the moon to land a marketing job at the local bank…until she finds her new boss dead in the vault. Even her ghost friend, Frankie, knows that’s no way to start a career.

Relieved to let the police take charge, Verity steps aside, bound and determined to keep her ghost sightings to herself. But when she learns the main suspect in the murder is a very crooked, very dead mobster, Verity knows it’s up to her to solve the case.

She teams up with her ghostly gangster buddy Frankie, as well as the irresistible and charming Ellis, as the three of them search haunted mob hideouts, hidden passageways, and historic cemeteries for the facts behind the heist of the century—and a modern-day motive for murder.

Too bad uncovering the truth could very well make Verity the next victim…

The book that launched the internationally bestselling Witch-Hunter series — a gripping urban fantasy of dark magic, ancient duty, and impossible attraction.

Hunter Astley has one purpose in life: to hunt witches.
Charming, wealthy, and ruthlessly effective, Hunter is the product of a long line of witch-hunters — bound to the Malleus Maleficarum Council, dedicated to keeping the world safe from those who wield dark magic. It’s a life he knows well. A life he controls.
But something is stirring in the shadows. A new and terrifying power is rising — the Shadow Witch — unlike anything the Council has ever faced. She is gathering the witches, building an army, and no one knows where she will strike next.
When a young woman named Sophie comes into Hunter’s world, he lets his guard down for the first time in years. But in the war between witch-hunters and witches, nothing is as it seems — and the greatest threat may already be closer than Hunter ever imagined. As ancient magic awakens and dark forces converge on the English countryside, Hunter will discover that his bloodline holds secrets that could change everything — and that the line between enemy and ally is far more dangerous than he ever believed.

The Shadow Rises is the first book in K.S. Marsden’s internationally bestselling Witch-Hunter series — a fast-paced, darkly romantic urban fantasy perfect for fans of the supernatural, slow-burn tension, and worlds where magic and the modern collide.
