Never mess with a witch who bites back.

I’m Rachel Collins, low witch and raven shifter in hiding. I spend my days tending the cash register at a local magic shop and my nights patrolling the streets for vampires with a death wish. Until the night I spot the mark of the Soulless on some lowly vampire’s wrist.

The Soulless answer to Valkas, the original vampire and the most ruthless of them all. They’re the same bloodsuckers who murdered my parents and kidnapped my sister. I want answers—and maybe a little revenge.

Along comes Venn, a handsome, protective wolf shifter who takes my breath away. We’re both after the same guy, and as much as it kills me to ask for help, I kind of need it.

Heaven help me. The dark, dangerous road we’re traveling together will either free my sister or get me killed.

Dying is supposed to be the end of the line. Not for me, though. I’m just not that lucky.

When my twin brother dies, I return home knowing life will never be the same. I just didn’t expect to die in a supernatural car crash on my way there. Plot twist: I’m not actually dead-dead, and I have no idea why.

As if things aren’t confusing enough, my late brother’s bad-tempered and sinfully attractive best friend finds me in the woods in all my recently deceased glory.

He claims that half of my hometown are actually monsters; that people like he and my brother exist to keep them in line, and–cherry on top of this crap sundae–my brother didn’t die in an accident.

He was murdered.

Now it’s up to me and his brooding best friend to find answers before whoever, or whatever, killed my brother cuts the last branch off my family tree and sends me into the afterlife–permanently.

Wish someone would have prepared me for hunting werewolves and fending off sex vampires, but apparently that’s too much to ask.

Family ties can heal the past. Or drag you straight to hell…

Isaac Zamora, my significant other and a talented user of magic, insists I’m a powerful witch. But when my bio-grandmother sends demons to kidnap me to her monstrosity of a Victorian house in Boulder, I can’t exactly fight back. Against Virginia Powers, who’s been wielding the dark arts since before I was born, there’s no point.

I need a plan. Someone who uses that much magical Botox has a blind spot somewhere, and I intend to find it. But she finds mine first — a half-sister named Destiny. I’ve always longed for a sister, someone with a connection to the mother who died so young.

But not if it means giving up my freedom.

Like the objects my lodestone ability brings to me, that connection seems to draw the truth out of gentle, seemingly innocent Destiny — Virginia’s secret plan to summon the prince of Hell. Our grandfather. This revelation answers so many questions, and gives me a valuable tool to foil good ol’ grandma.

But once Isaac learns the truth about my demon blood, the love we’ve slowly, carefully nurtured over time could go up in flames….

Note: Finding Destiny is the fourth and final book in USA Today bestselling author Christine Pope’s “Unexpected Magic” series.

I didn’t care that he was a prince—they would not force me to marry a stranger.

A royal wedding turns to disaster when a sinister curse goes awry. A victim of the Sorcerer’s prophecy, Roselyn’s memories are instantly erased, leaving her panicked at the altar. Unwilling to marry a stranger, she flees to the place her prince fears most—the enchanted Mistbrooke Forest. Lost and afraid, she seeks help from a dark, mysterious traveler who may be the key to recovering her stolen memories.

After years of solitude, Cedrick is lost in the horrors of his past. He never expected to find himself face to face with the future princess of Cadell. The longstanding feud between their kingdoms doesn’t douse the fiery connection he feels to her, so when she requests safe passage through the forest, he can’t ignore her plea—even though it puts both their lives at risk.

Rose is determined to regain her memories, but with Cedrick as her reluctant guide, she experiences the magic of the forest through new eyes. Does true love really exist? She is beginning to think it might—with Cedrick. But when her past collides with her present, sparks explode, and the very memories she’s been seeking are the ones she most wishes she could forget.

Can she break the curse without breaking her heart?

A past erased from my memory . . .

A protector I never wanted . . .

An enemy (or two) determined to strike me down . . .

One day I’m raiding tombs and trying to buy my freedom from the man who has controlled me for years.

The next, I’m dropped into the underbelly of Yale and propositioned by a secret society of dark artifact hunters.

And apparently, I have magic.

But that’s not the craziest thing.

My last heist unleashed evil on the world, and I’m responsible. Thankfully, the secret society seems happy to help me right my wrongs and discover my power. Maybe even help me to remember my past too.

Well, most everyone, anyway. Tobias, a domineering, sexy vampire, is the notable exception. Too bad for him, he’s also assigned as my partner. My protector—a designation that he clearly despises.

But I’ve handled worse than Tobias and now that I have a place to start, no one will stop me from discovering my hidden past.
