"Forensic anthropologist Dr. Jack Sorensen is the perfect serial killer. In the bright lights of his public persona he''s a respected scientist, a leader in the field of human decomposition. But in his shadowed secret life he''s a ruthless and elusive killer, unseen by the authorities who have failed to follow his faint trail of destruction. Beautifully cold, brilliant and cruel, Jack wants nothing more than to keep his life captured in his vise-like grip of control. And Jack Sorensen never makes mistakes...until he underestimates Dr. Kyrie Roth. Wildlife biologist Kyrie is the enemy Jack never noticed, another murderer in his midst. A killer with equal cunning and stealth as the great Jack Sorensen, she knows all his darkest secrets, even the pieces of a past he might have forgotten. Kyrie has created the perfect habitat for her favorite research subject, but she''s finally had enough of being bitten by the beast that lives at Jack''s core. Pushed past her breaking point, Kyrie has decided to do whatever it takes to make Jack suffer. But when Kyrie''s traumatic past descends on her broken oasis, the only person who can help Kyrie banish her painful shadows might just be her greatest enemy. History can''t always be left to decay in a cold grave. Time has a way of thawing secrets, leaving them to shine as bright as bleached bones in the sun. Can Jack and Kyrie set aside their battle and survive a world built to hunt them? Or will they kill each other first?"--Back cover.

An executioner and a bounty. A soldier and a weapon. The hunter and the prey that won''t go down. After centuries in hiding, the last of the original sirens took a chance on love. And it blew up in her face. Imprisoned by the Shadow Realm, Lu''s days now pass in a haze of torture and tears. She''s the most ancient vampire siren, the weapon they can''t work out. Halfway to a hybrid of immortal creatures, she could be the key to their plans for war against the Realm of Light... if only they could figure out how to finish the transformation. After a daring escape, Lu finds herself on the run with an unlikely set of allies. Their enemies have a head start in the race to find the oldest vampires, and Lu will stop at nothing to keep them safe from a fate worse than death. If they can''t find them in time, it will end in the war of the ultimate superpowers. But every move she makes, Ashen is there. The demon that she trusted. The executioner she loved. The Reaper that poisoned her heart with his betrayal. And as secrets of the Shadow Realm and her own history start to collide, Lu begins to question everything she knows... including the motives of the enigmatic demon she can''t seem to escape. She''s promised herself she''ll never go back. She''s determined not to fall in love. If only she knew whom to trust...

Lu promised herself she would never go back to the Shadow Realm, but the fates have other plans. Ashen has forfeited his rule to crown Lu the Queen of the Reapers, and now she has the power to remake the realm of the demons, to bring back merciful justice to the land where souls suffer in eternal servitude and violence lurks in the twilight fog. But not everyone is on board with the new change in leadership to a vampire queen, and following the torture and trauma of her last visit to the Shadow Realm, Lu isn''t thrilled about it either. Trouble is, there are worse creatures than the dangerous demons whose flaming eyes follow her through their realm of darkness. Lu’s enemies aren''t just lurking in the shadows. They’re beating down her door. When Lu and Ashen are attacked in the Shadow Realm, the secret goals of the Nephilim begin to surface like creatures of the deep, dragging everyone’s ancient history with them as they rise. And if the Nephilim succeed, they will seize the ultimate power to rebuild the realms to their own design. Their reach and might is greater than anyone anticipated. And unless Lu can conquer not only her own fears but the distrust that immortals hold against one another, the Nephilim will win the new war. Secrets have sharp edges in the Shadow Realm. Love can be a lethal poison. And Lu must never forget...No betrayal is worse than when it’s delivered by the hand of someone you love.

A dark, sexy, and wickedly funny new enemies-to-lovers romance for readers of Laura Thalassa, Sarah J. Maas, Kerri Maniscalco, and Jennifer L. Armentrout. A siren who must stay silent to survive. An executioner with a bounty he cannot kill. Lu has been living a quiet, undercover life as a vampire hidden in the quaint village of Sanford. Afraid that her voice will give her secrets away, Lu has lived for years without words, speaking only to the one witch she can trust. Except, of course, when it''s time to hunt. When it comes to luring in her victims, no song is sweeter than Lu''s. But when Lu''s hunt is interrupted by Ashen, a mysterious and striking Reaper of the Shadow Realm, it seems like fate has finally caught up with her. An executioner with a soul to claim, Ashen doesn''t realize he''s stumbled on the bounty of an immortal lifetime until it''s too late. As the two enemies are forced to work together to solve a crime that shouldn''t be possible, it''s more than just secrets that emerge between them. With every moment that passes, Lu finds it harder and harder to live like a shadow among her enemies, especially the enigmatic demon she''s bound to. She might just be a little bored of living the quiet life. But for Lu, nothing is more inseparable than danger and desire. ...And there are few creatures in any realm more dangerous than Ashen. *mature themes, including violence, strong language, & sexual content*

Quinn has a rare and powerful gift, one that manifested from the rage and trauma of her harrowing childhood. Years later, the anger she can''t let go of makes her an unpredictable and dangerous weapon of last resort for a kingdom on the brink of war. Diviners like Quinn are venerated yet feared, protected yet exploited. Bonded to the Queen, they are forced to endure hardship and sacrifice to protect her empire. After a near loss in a key battle and the death of the Diviner of Fire, the Queen calls for aid from the elite soldiers of the allied territories to the East. A striking warrior named Kiran is assigned to protect and train Quinn, and as the pair become close despite the rules that bind them, they discover that the enemies within are just as dangerous as the ones at the gates. Time is running out for Quinn to harness her power. The enemy is closing in around them. Impossible sacrifices haunt every decision Quinn makes. As she fights to keep what little she''s claimed as hers, Quinn learns that her destiny might not lie in the hands of fates or kingdoms, but in her own. Praise for The Diviner "The Diviner is a wonderfully immersive fantasy set in a carefully crafted magical world and is as much a deeply emotional love story as a suspenseful adventure. The slow burn became an inferno." - W.D. Henning, author of Paradise Blight and Dark Fall "The Diviner is intricately written, and not like any fantasy story you''ve read before. This book will get you hooked and you''ll build special connections with the characters... (you''ll) love Quinn of course, but you''ll also fall in love with Kiran, Skye, Adri, and Rolfe. The Diviner is worth the read - every second you spend on it is not wasted." - Aina Untalan, author of Exes and Ohs "Quinn is an actual badass instead of being a damsel in distress, which I hardly ever get to see in books." - Court of Miracles Awards (Finalist) "Fans of fantasy romance series like From Blood And Ash and A Discovery of Witches will love The Diviner." - D.
