Cursed Magic

by N.R. Hairston

I’m covered in tattoos from my head to my toes. I’m cursed to live with the sins of every kill I ever made. In sunlight, those marks turn golden and burn me alive.

He’s a killer. Ian’s notorious in the underworld for making people disappear. Now he wants a meeting with me, and I know it can’t be good. I grab my boyfriend Kemp and we meet him.

I was right. He wants me dead. He lost a lot of money when my cousin got killed and he blames me for that. I go on the offensive, but he’s ready.

Ian is sadistic. His plans for me are depraved. I’ve never come up against a horror like this. Ian means to destroy me, but I never go down without a fight.

No Promises

Z.J. Cannon

I used to be a hero. Then I grew up.

I’m Kieran Thorne, the world’s only living half-fae. The gig comes with a few perks—immortality, magic I can’t control, fae assassins constantly on my heels. And the chance to protect the good and the powerless against those who are neither.

For hundreds of years, that’s what I did. Until I got tired of the humans I saved repaying me by burning me at the stake or shooting me in the heart. I traded in my white hat for a mansion on the beach, and started living by a new creed: look out for myself, and let the humans solve their own problems.

But now Winter fae are going missing, and someone has planted a trail of evidence leading right to my door. I have two choices: let Queen Mab’s feral enforcer carve me to bits, or help her find the real culprit.

Looks like I’m back in the hero business. But this time, I’ll remember the lesson it cost me so much to learn:

There are no good people in this world, and no righteous causes. Humanity is corrupt. The fae are cruel and vicious. Me? I’m a little of both.

Lunar Rampage

Samantha Cross

One town. One Werewolf. A dozen suspects.

Twenty-six-year-old Cora Nash is a sweet, quirky aspiring photographer with big dreams, but for now, her biggest concern is renovating her grandmother’s storm damaged home in the small woodsy town of Rookridge.

When she arrives in the tight-knit community, it doesn’t take her long to figure out she doesn’t exactly fit in, so she does what she thinks is best—keep to herself. That plan works… until it doesn’t.

People in Rookridge have gone missing, but the most disturbing part is that no one in town is concerned about the inexplicable disappearances. No one except for Cora, who barely escapes with her body intact after a run in with a mysterious and violent beast.

A werewolf.

Cora realizes she’s in over her head, especially when the werewolf sends her running for her life and seeking shelter in the home of the town’s biggest bad boy, Max, who may or may not think she’s completely nuts. Can she figure out who the werewolf is before it’s too late? And will she be able to control her own appetite for Max along the way? Cora can only hope!
