I’ve finally met the Brothers Grimm and a certain infamous vampire. Yikes. Do I have to listen to the gods of story and let the plot play out, or can I stop Dracula before he murders…again?

I might be a perfectionist with a haunting past, but that chill in the air is from the ghosts that follow me to each investigation. The Brothers Grimm are insane if they think I’ll apologize for saving people. Brutal fairy tales equal dead bodies and I’m not about to stop twisting these stories into a happily-ever-after.

Even if it destroys me (AKA turns me into an undead creature).

On top of the murders, I’m hunting for a way to free my daughter from the plot of Peter Pan before Wendy disappears into Neverland. But what could Dracula, Peter Pan, and the cryptic words of the Brothers Grimm possibly have in common?

Mari must multitask motherhood, monsterhood, and stopping a murderer in the fourth book of the Mari Fable Mysteries.

Viola Alerion has been on the run from the intergalactic Haldrian Empire for most of her adult life. After parting ways with her one and only apprentice who’s faith inspired her own transformation, the storyteller finds herself plagued with more profound, life-altering questions than she’s ever been willing to consider. And most importantly, she is in a position to choose her path, seemingly for the first time in her life.

Determined to face her past and unlock the secrets her apprentice hinted at, Viola sets off into the jungle of Téarman unaware of dangers there, which will test her faith, her self-belief and threaten to cast her back into the pit of her worst despair. But more frightening even than a raging swarm of poisonous fireflies is the knowledge she must face the most terrifying and powerful being in the whole intergalactic empire—her mother.

This is the second book in the Wishmaster series. For best enjoyment, read The Apprentice Storyteller first.

Detective Clarissa Tempest is one of the best at sniffing out goons, but these particular goons seem to be the bloodsucking kind.


Vamps aren’t real, right? Of course not. But Clarissa knows what she’s seen. Unfortunately, she’s a little distracted, and her actions earn her a suspension. Great. Life is really looking up. Maybe her therapist is right. Maybe she’s under too much stress and is seeing things.


But then a vamp seeks her out, telling her to knock it off and leave them alone or else he’ll knock her off.
 Clarissa isn’t the kind to back down, though.

Hopefully, keeping Bethlehem safe won’t require her to lose a lot of blood… or her head.

WHEN VAMPS BITE is a part of A Mayhem of Magic World Story universe.
