Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Someone has kidnapped the vampire’s son. And they’d better pray Shade finds Dimitri before daddy finds out he's missing… After barely surviving Halloween—physically and emotionally—Shade is ready for a distraction. She gets her wish when Dimitri Winters, son of vampiric crime lord, Anton Winters, hires her to look into a disappearance— His own. And she's got to do it without his father finding out. According to a cryptic audio file sent to her by Dimitri himself, and information delivered to Shade by her technology-savvy ally, Silence, while investigating a top secret security breach, Dimitri followed a potential suspect to a motel room—and was taken prisoner. Now Dimitri is gone. And his suspect is dead. Evidence suggests Dimitri was held captive by the victim before he escaped, but there’s no clue to what happened to him after the murder, and Shade is forced to call on unusual allies to help her in her search—allies as chaotic as they are helpful. Piece by piece, they start to put together a picture of what happened. Unfortunately, the first murder isn’t the last, and keeping secrets from Cleveland’s most notorious vampire is as dangerous as it is difficult. To make matters worse, Shade begins to realize that someone is working against her behind the scenes… The line between friend and enemy blurs, and Shade suddenly understands that a choice between two evils is no choice at all… Series keywords: Shade Renard series, urban fantasy, contemporary fantasy, fantasy series, speculative fiction, paranormal, humor, female protagonist, action, adventure, magic, very slow-burn romance, witch, private investigator, amateur detective, murder mystery, whodunit, wizard, werewolves, shifters, fey, monsters, Otherworld, long series

Fortunately, a case falls into Shade’s lap that is perfect for the freshly returned law man—a rogue zombie a group of kids raised to celebrate Halloween. Silly witch. Nothing in the Otherworld is easy. The necromancer Shade calls to return the zombie to her grave finds one corpse too many in the cemetery. A corpse that leads to a desecrated church. An evil altar. Someone tried to summon an elder demon. And with Halloween only two days away, Shade knows they’ll try again. It’s Andy’s worst nightmare.

Two of them have been killed and their enchanted skins stolen within the past week, and the primal sidhe lord Baine has set Scath the task of finding the killer—with a few special conditions. Condition one: no contacting the authorities. No Vanguard, no queen, no cops…and no Detective Sergeant Liam Osbourne. Condition two: Scath is to hand over the killer—and the missing skins—to him. Shade’s not about to let Scath face the weregild alone. Together they proceed with the investigation, each of them bracing themselves for the worst. And both of them shocked when they find it.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A witch has no business meddling in the affairs of werewolves. Still… Witch PI Shade Renard and werewolf Detective Sergeant Liam Osbourne have come a long way since their hostile first attempt to work together. But even in her wildest dreams, Shade never dared to imagine he would ask not only for her supernatural help on a case—but for her to take the lead in the investigation itself. There’s been a murder on the doorstep of New Moon, the shifter rehabilitation center run by Liam as alpha of the local werewolf pack. The number one suspect has killed once before and gotten away with it. If she’s proven guilty this time—of a murder committed while she was in Liam’s charge—it could be the leverage a rival alpha needs to oust Liam from New Moon, or worse, seize control of the Rocky River pack itself. A rival alpha like Liam’s vicious patriarch, who arrives eager to remake New Moon in his own violent image. Solving this murder is about more than bringing a killer to justice. It’s about making sure that Osbourne Sr. doesn’t get the chance to destroy the sanctuary his son has worked so hard to build. Fortunately, Shade isn’t just a private investigator. She’s a witch.
