All five heart-stopping books of the Supernaturals Underground: Crime Investigators series are now available as one omnibus! What happens when a teen Mage pairs with the world’s grumpiest cat to fight demons? Just scroll up to find out in this young adult urban fantasy where snark and cuteness meet!

I am Liliana Lovelli, sixteen years old and slated to be the next demon slayer of the powerful Lovelli family. It’s my job to protect the world from invading demons, and lately, they’re running rampant.

Worse, my magic is dying.

It’s hard enough being a War Mage from an ancient, magical line and expected to blast apart demons from the moment I can walk. Living up to my brother is impossible, and showing weakness means our leadership will destroy our family. Soon, I need to find a battle partner, a special someone I’ll fight beside for life, and no one’s interested.

Something’s also draining my magic, and I face exile if I don’t fix it.

And then, when demons come knocking and ask for me, I must fight.

That’s when I finally find my battle partner.

The bad news? I’m the first War Mage bonded to a cat, and I don’t know why. If my family finds out, I’m toast. But that might be the least of my problems. The demons invading the city are taking a special interest in me, and I’m about to stumble on something big…

India Steele is desperate. Her father is dead, her fiancé took her inheritance, and no one will employ her, despite years working for her watchmaker father. Indeed, the other London watchmakers seem frightened of her. Alone, poor, and at the end of her tether, India takes employment with the only person who’ll accept her – an enigmatic and mysterious man from America. A man who possesses a strange watch that rejuvenates him when he’s ill.

Matthew Glass must find a particular watchmaker, but he won’t tell India why any old one won’t do. Nor will he tell her what he does back home, and how he can afford to stay in a house in one of London’s best streets. So when she reads about an American outlaw known as the Dark Rider arriving in England, she suspects Mr. Glass is the fugitive. When danger comes to their door, she’s certain of it. But if she notifies the authorities, she’ll find herself unemployed and homeless again – and she will have betrayed the man who saved her life.

With a cast of quirky characters, an intriguing mystery, and a dash of romance, this thrilling historical fantasy series will keep you turning the pages.

The first three novels (plus a connecting novella and short story!) in the paranormal mystery romance series, QUENTIN BLACK MYSTERY, starring brilliant but dangerous psychic detective, Quentin Black and forensic psychologist, Miri Fox.

Includes the following books:

BLACK IN WHITE (Quentin Black Mystery #1)
BLACK AS NIGHT (Quentin Black Mystery #2)
Black Christmas (Quentin Black Mystery #2.5)
BLACK ON BLACK (Quentin Black Mystery #3)
Black Supper (Quentin Black Mystery #3.5)

*

Description of BLACK IN WHITE (Quentin Black Mystery #1):

“My name is Black. Quentin Black.”

Gifted with an uncanny sense about people, psychologist Miri Fox works as an off and on profiler for the police. So when they think they finally nailed the “Wedding Killer,” she agrees to check him out, using her gift to discover the truth.

But the suspect, Quentin Black, isn’t anything like Miri expects.

He claims to be hunting the killer too, and the longer Miri talks to him, the more determined she becomes to uncover his secrets.

When he confronts her about the nature of her peculiar “insight,” Miri gets pulled into Black’s bizarre world, and embroiled in a game of cat and mouse with a deadly killer––who might just be Black himself.

Worse, she finds herself irresistibly drawn to Black, a complication she doesn’t need with a best friend who’s a homicide cop and a boyfriend in intelligence.

Can Miriam see a way out or is her future covered in Black?

*

Description of BLACK AS NIGHT (Quentin Black Mystery #2):

“He will break anything you try to keep pure, brother.”

When her now-employer, psychic detective, Quentin Black, calls from a Bangkok jail, asking for her help, forensic psychologist, Miri Fox, is forced to fly across the world to get him.

She finds Black working undercover inside a gang of criminals, trying to discover who’s murdering street children and burning their bodies inside Buddhist temples.

Black isn’t the only one interested in the crimes, however, and soon his investigations get the attention of a crime syndicate out of Russia that doesn’t appreciate his meddling.

When Miri shows up to help, events quickly spiral out of control, and Miri soon finds herself the hunted.

*

Description of BLACK ON BLACK (Quentin Black Mystery #3):

“What kind of confession are you looking for, brother…?”

Black disappears, leaving Miri alone in San Francisco mere days after they return from Bangkok.

No explanation. Not a word about where he is, what he’s doing, what his mysterious new contract entails or even who he’s working for.

Black will only drop cryptic hints, leaving her breadcrumbs.

Miri can feel him, though. More every day.

She feels so much through her dreams and into her waking life that her world starts to spin out of control, especially when things between Black and his new employer begin to sour.

Black’s in danger, although he won’t admit that, either.

Only Miri can save him. But to help Black, she has to cross lines she swore she’d never cross, exposing herself in a way that will change her life forever.
