Love can strike like lightning — but so can trouble.

Lightning doesn’t just strike twice for Adara Grant. It strikes all the time. She suffers a setback; the heavens open up. She gets bullied; a tornado flattens a barn. Addie’s mother has always found an excuse to move before whispers and stares morph into pitchforks, but Addie suspects there’s a connection.

She just doesn’t know how. Or why.

Jake Wilcox is a witch hunter — for a good cause. His pet project is a powerful data-mining program that detects lone witches when their gifts manifest, thus bringing these “orphaned” witches under the Wilcox clan’s protection.

When Jake follows a lead to tiny, remote Kanab, Utah, he discovers a young witch as wild and beautiful as a desert storm. But he’s not the only witch hunter in town, and in an instant, Jake and Addie are on the run from someone hungry to use her gift for evil.

Addie finds a new home and protection with the Wilcox clan, but as danger closes in like an icy storm front, she faces a heartbreaking choice to protect her newfound family — and the man she’s coming to love.

I’m Val Thorvald, and I kill bad guys for a living.

My half-elven blood, magical sword, and telepathic tiger give me an edge, at least against most villains. But when dragons show up in Seattle, the city is in serious trouble—and so am I. Dragons are bigger, stronger, and more powerful than anything I’ve battled, and they don’t appreciate it when you sass them.

Just ask Lord Zavryd’nokquetal. That’s a name, not a cat hacking up a hairball, and if you mispronounce it, he’ll either insult you, incinerate you, or throw your Jeep up in a tree. Trust me, I know.

Unfortunately, he’s taken an interest in me. Not in the “half-elves are sexy and appealing and I need a new girlfriend” kind of way. Nope, he wants to use me. He’s on a mission, and he’s decided I’ll make the perfect bait to lure his enemies to him.

That’s about as good for your longevity as it sounds, and I’d love to decline the gig, but dragons can magically coerce people into doing their bidding. If I can’t figure out how to get him to leave me alone, I’ll either end up his servant for the rest of my life… or dead. And who’s going to protect Seattle then?

This bundle includes the first three novels in the Death Before Dragons urban fantasy series:

Sinister Magic
Battle Bond
Tangled Truths

Death Before Dragons features adventure, snark, and even a little romance. The series is now complete and perfect for those who enjoy binge reading!

The modern fantasy classic that Entertainment Weekly named an “All-Time Greatest Novel” and Newsweek hailed as a “Top 100 Book of All Time.” Philip Pullman takes readers to a world where humans have animal familiars and where parallel universes are within reach.

Lyra is rushing to the cold, far North, where witch clans and armored bears rule. North, where the Gobblers take the children they steal—including her friend Roger. North, where her fearsome uncle Asriel is trying to build a bridge to a parallel world.

Can one small girl make a difference in such great and terrible endeavors? This is Lyra: a savage, a schemer, a liar, and as fierce and true a champion as Roger or Asriel could want.

But what Lyra doesn’t know is that to help one of them will be to betray the other…

A masterwork of storytelling and suspense, Philip Pullman’s award-winning The Golden Compass is the first in the His Dark Materials series, which continues with The Subtle Knife and The Amber Spyglass.

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.
