A fly-by-night coven is using an online message board to recruit inexperienced witches—only to vanish weeks later, leaving a trail of magicless women in their wake. And it only gets weirder from there. An offer of help from a familiar, but unwelcome source. Growing discord from Scath threatening to play right into their enemies’ hands. And the mutilated body of a solitary witch. Now it’s personal. There’s something theatrical about these magic thefts, something beyond a simple lust for power. Someone is pulling the strings—and there’s no shortage of puppeteers among Shade’s suspects. But a witch can only be pushed so far. And Shade has had enough.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: USA Today bestselling author Jennifer Blackstream reveals the next pulse-pounding installment in the Blood Trails series. Political intrigue is for wizards. Shade has never agreed with her old mentor’s advice more than she does now. But if unraveling a political conspiracy is her only chance to escape the past month of magical boot camp and goblin-sparring, interspersed with seductive attempts by her sidhe master to make their relationship permanent, then so be it. A government spook saw something he shouldn’t have—a glimpse of the Otherworld. Now his life is in danger, and it’s up to Shade to save him. Unfortunately, there are a lot of monsters behind the scenes pulling political strings. Demons, sidhe, sorceresses, even the vampiric crime lord of Cleveland himself. Any one of them could have frightened the political fixer into madness. And they’ll do much worse to Shade if she threatens to uncover their secrets… The Blood Trails series is a fusion of contemporary fantasy and cozy mystery that combines a classic private investigator/whodunnit with the sarcasm, magic, and pulse-pounding battles that have made the urban fantasy genre so famous.

After all, nothing relieves stress like a little magic, mayhem…and murder.

When you add the typical family problems, multiplying ghosts -- and one monster of a zit that she's sure came from her aunt's curse -- Bay is just struggling to make it through the week.
