The first five books of the Supernaturals Underground Series are now available as a complete series in one boxset! Binge on a young adult urban fantasy series with heart-stopping adventure, shocking secrets, dark magic, and slow-burn romance!

I’ve been a vampire for fourteen of my sixteen years.

It hasn’t been easy pretending to be normal so I don’t get taken away by the Supernatural-hating authorities. Even school is a nightmare, and the last thing I want to do is bite someone. And my life is about to get much worse.

When the authorities catch on to me and I learn that the city’s mayor is rounding up all Supernaturals, I get kidnapped…um, rescued by Xavier Lovelli, an impossibly hot Mage full of himself. Oh, and the mayor? He’s a secret demon who wants me, and me specifically, for some diabolical plan to end the world.

Oh, if only I could walk away from my nature, but there’s one complicating factor.

Xavier has bound me to him magically so that we must fight together or die. Without my permission. And I’m stuck working with him because the mayor is using my father as bait.

Yikes. Looks like it’s time to face my nature, and time to knock Xavier down a notch.

Win the game, change your fate. Lose the game, lose your life.When Alice Liddell runs away on the night of her engagement party and stumbles into a shadowy pub on a forgotten street, she thinks her life is ruined. Her parents are furious, her reputation is destroyed, and her fall from society will be printed in all of London’s gossip columns. Then a mysterious stranger gives her an unexpected solution to all of her problems: A yearly game inviting mortals into the land of Faerie to play the queen’s infamous Game of Hearts. To win is to gain a wish of your heart but to lose means sacrificing your freedom.

Alice quickly realizes the game is far more intricate and deadly than she was led to believe and teams up with the rebellious and irreverent cat-shifter Ches. Together they must outwit the other players by solving the obscure riddles given as clues and get out of the queen’s enchanted hedge maze unscathed. It also means staying far away from Maddox, the queen’s champion player and Alice’s fiercest competition. He’s determined to win at all costs, but Alice suspects his motives may not be his own.

The deeper Alice goes inside the world of cunning fae, bloodthirsty beasts, and vengeful queens, the more she fears that winning means betraying those closest to her. And in this Game of Hearts, Alice needs to guard hers.

This 1920’s Alice in Wonderland reimagining is the second book in the Otherworlds Trilogy and is perfect for fans of fairytale retellings with dark twists, atmospheric settings, and slow burn romance that’s swoony, not spicy.

But when she meets him—a handsome man named Cyrus—he is more deadly and alluring than she anticipated.

But the bond also unlocks the gates to the Underworld, unleashing the spirits within.

Now Cyrus is bound to her in more ways than one.

The first novel in the New York Times bestselling Iron Druid Chronicles—the hilarious, action-packed tales of a two-thousand-year-old Druid pursued by ancient gods in the modern world

“A page-turning and often laugh-out-loud-funny caper through a mix of the modern and the mythic.”—Ari Marmell, author of The Warlord’s Legacy

Atticus O’Sullivan is the last of the ancient druids. He has been on the run for more than two thousand years and he’s tired of it. The Irish gods who want to kill him are after an enchanted sword he stole in a first-century battle, and when they find him managing an occult bookshop in Tempe, Arizona, Atticus doesn’t want to uproot his life again. He just wants everything to end one way or another, but preferably the way in which he can continue to enjoy fish and chips.

He does have some small hope of survival: The Morrigan, the Irish Chooser of the Slain, is on his side, and so is Brighid, First Among the Fae. His lawyer is literally a bloodsucking vampire, and he has a loyal Irish wolfhound with opinions about poodles.

But he’s facing down some mighty enemies: Aenghus Óg, a vengeful Irish god, plus a coven of witches and even the local police. On top of all that, Aenghus has a direct line to the firepower of hell. Atticus will need all the luck of the Irish and more if he’s going to stay alive.

She believed she’d return to the coven a hero. Instead, she’s found a chaotic battle caused by an imposter and a need to stay out of the limelight.

Cassia has been to purgatory and back. She escaped the Underworld only to find her coven in chaos—a fierce battle taking place between witches. And leading the charge was…her. Or her sister pretending to be her. Again.

Not only has her sister stolen her identity, but Cassia keeps shrinking in stature and confidence, her familiar isn’t accepted, and every time she uses her magic an electrical charge attaches to her soul.

Now, Cassia must discover the reasons for the shrinking and the electrical charge, stop the war between witches, and warn the new king of an evil threat.

Can the wayward witch right-size herself and the coven permanently? Or will the jolt consume her and turn her to the dark side forever?

And is it possible she’s the biggest threat of all?

Down the Witching Well is the eighth book in the charming Glass Slipper Adventure YA fantasy series, and the second story in the twisted Alice in Wonderland arc. If you enjoyed the suspense of The Cruel Prince by Holly Black, you’ll love the dark intrigue of Cassia’s journey in this thrilling paranormal fantasy. Read Down the Witching Well and plunge into a twisted tale!
