Book Description

Meet Marla Mason–smart, saucy, slightly wicked witch of the East Coast.…

Sorcerer Marla Mason, small-time guardian of the city of Felport, has a big problem. A rival is preparing a powerful spell that could end Marla’s life–and, even worse, wreck her city. Marla’s only chance of survival is to boost her powers with the Cornerstone, a magical artifact hidden somewhere in San Francisco. But when she arrives there, Marla finds that the quest isn’t going to be quite as cut-and-dried as she expected…and that some of the people she needs to talk to are dead. It seems that San Francisco’s top sorcerers are having troubles of their own–a mysterious assailant has the city’s magical community in a panic, and the local talent is being (gruesomely) picked off one by one.

With her partner-in-crime, Rondeau, Marla is soon racing against time through San Francisco’s alien streets, dodging poisonous frogs, murderous hummingbirds, cannibals, and a nasty vibe from the local witchery, who suspect that Marla herself may be behind the recent murders. And if Marla doesn’t figure out who is killing the city’s finest in time, she’ll be in danger of becoming a magical statistic herself.…

Stray by Rachel Vincent

There are only eight breeding female werecats left . . .

And I'm one of them

I look like an all-American grad student. But I am a werecat, a shape-shifter, and I live in two worlds.

Despite reservations from my family and my Pride, I escaped the pressure to continue my species and carved out a normal life for myself. Until the night a Stray attacked.

I'd been warned about Strays—werecats without a Pride, constantly on the lookout for someone like me: attractive, female, and fertile. I fought him off, but then learned two of my fellow tabbies had disappeared.

This brush with danger was all my Pride needed to summon me back . . . for my own protection. Yeah, right. But I'm no meek kitty. I'll take on whatever—and whoever—I have to in order to find my friends. Watch out, Strays—'cause I got claws, and I'm not afraid to use them .

For a Few Demons More by Kim Harrison
(Rachel Morgan book 5)

user posted image

Despite dating one vampire and living with another, Rachel Morgan has always managed to stay just ahead of trouble . . . until now.

A fiendish serial killer stalks the Hollows, claiming victims across society, and the resulting terror ignites a vicious Inderland gang war. And while the ancient artifact Rachel is hiding may be the key to stopping the murderer, revealing it could also create a battle to the death among the numerous supernatural races that live in and around Cincinnati.

For every action has its price, and when the vampire master Piscary is set free and the demonic Algaliarept dares to walk openly under the sun, even Rachel Morgan can't hide forever

Hotter Blood by Jeff Gelb & Michael Garret

Here, bound together for your pleasure, are the most devilishly decadent short stories in the annals of horror, written by some of the most morbidly gifted writers of our time. From the libidinous appetites of the demon wdorld to the very borders of human corruption, this collection of tantalizing tales will entice any reader into the realm of forbidden desires - and forgotten evils...

A READER REVIEW FROM AMAZON .... BY By Earl Smith

This book in the series continues with a collection of new (or new to you) writers, as well as some classic authors delving into the depths of kinky creepiness.

This is the stuff of nightmares where you are getting naughty one minute and running for your life the next...

A short story a night will make you fall asleep with the lights only to find you're waking up aroused later in the night wondering if the ghosts under the bed are worth dying for just for the ultimate in pleaures.

Creepily arousing and arousingly frightening. Anne Rice looks like a prude compared to these authors!

He and his half-brother Niko have managed to stay a step ahead for three years, but now Cal's dad has found them again. And Cal is about to learn why they want him, why they've always wanted him...

BCID: http://www.bookcrossing.com/journal/5756581/

Three sisters ridding the Otherworld of evil--one monster at a time.

We're the D'Artigo sisters: Half-Human, Half-Faerie, we're savvy,--and sexy--operatives for the Otherworld Intelligence Agency. But our mixed-blood heritage short circuits our talents at all the wrong times. My sister Camille is a wicked-good witch whose magic is unpredictable as the weather. My sister Delilah transforms into a tabby cat when she's under stress. And me? I'm Menolly, acrobat-extraordinaire-turned-vampire. And I'd give my right fang to make my sire pay for killing me. That is if he doesn't find me first...

All over Seattle, humans have been going missing, only to turn up as newborn vampires--the sure sign of a rogue vamp in the loose. It looks like Dredge is to blame--the same sadistic Dredge who gave me my scars, and who may well be in cahoots with the demon Shadow Wing. If so, Otherworld and Earth are screwed. The only way we can hope to defeat Dredge is for me to travel home to Otherworld, and face my own demons. For unless I sever the ties that bind me to Dredge, all hell is going to break loose...

She's No Faerie Princess: A Novel of the Others (This is #2)
by Christine Warren



Synopsis
Christine Warren invites you back to the magically seductive world of the Others where a refugee from the Fae realm is about to stumble into the picture—and make life very complicated for a werewolf with a job to do...

WHEN A ROYAL REBEL...Queen Mab's niece, Fiona, has long been bored to tears by the intrigues of Court life. She'd prefer to cut loose at a punk club, knock back a few Thai beers, and hook up with a likely lad of similar interests. But when Fiona goes AWOL, she only gets as far as Manhattan's Inwood Park before a nasty demon nearly puts a permanent crimp in her plans—and a dark stranger sparks her desire...

MEETS THE BIG, BAD WOLF...
All work and no play make Tobias Walker one cranky werewolf. After six months of doing his part to keep the peace during the delicate negotiations between the Others and humankind, he'd like nothing more than a good night's sleep—preceded by an enthusiastic mating session. The alluring woman he rescues in the park might be the answer to his most lustful prayers, but only if they can both stay alive long enough to find out who wants her dead and why.

PASSION TAKES A WALK ON THE WILD SIDE…
Now, Fiona and Tobias must unravel a tangled web of treachery that spans branches of the Fae, Other, and mortal worlds, all the while falling into a dangerous attraction that could be the beginning of a beautiful friendship—or the end for them both...

Wicked Lovely
by Melissa Marr

Rule #3: Don't stare at invisible faeries.

Aislinn has always seen faeries. Powerful and dangerous, they walk hidden in mortal world. Aislinn fears their cruelty—especially if they learn of her Sight—and wishes she were as blind to their presence as other teens.

Rule #2: Don't speak to invisible faeries.

Now faeries are stalking her. One of them, Keenan, who is equal parts terrifying and alluring, is trying to talk to her, asking questions Aislinn is afraid to answer.

Rule #1: Don't ever attract their attention.

But it's too late. Keenan is the Summer King who has sought his queen for nine centuries. Without her, summer itself will perish. He is determined that Aislinn will become the Summer Queen at any cost—regardless of her plans or desires.

Suddenly none of the rules that have kept Aislinn safe are working anymore, and everything is on the line: her freedom; her best friend, Seth; her life; everything.

Faerie intrigue, mortal love, and the clash of ancient rules and modern expectations swirl together in Melissa Marr's stunning 21st century faery tale.

Q: What happens when you cross The Devil Wears Prada with Buffy the Vampire Slayer?
A: Blood-sucking bitches, editors obsessed with hot, young blood and a growing list of ultimate fashion victims...
Chick-lit is so last season. Chick-noir pales in comparison. Instead sink your perfectly-polished teeth into Valerie Stivers' mouth-watering portion of vamp-lit. Delicious.
When Kate's glamorous Aunt Victoria fixes her up with a place at Tasty fashion magazine, Kate finds herself surrounded by impossibly beautiful, black-clad women, who clearly think she's a pain in the neck. Unlike Kate, these women don't seem to eat or sleep or ever have a hair out of place. Aging isn't countenanced, and ability seems to have little reflection on status. But that's fashion for you...
Starting your first job may be difficult, but working at Tasty is draining. Literally. Luckily there's sexy James from the art department to make Kate's pulse soar because the other Tasty employees seem to be out for her blood.
After a series of sensational fashion murders grab the headlines, Kate begins to get suspicious. What's really going on beneath the perfectly Botoxed surface of Tasty magazine? How much will Kate stake on finding out the truth about the disappearance of her fashion-designer mother? And can eternal youth and perfect taste really make up for the loss of your immortal soul?
