New Releases by Thomas E. Sniegoski

On the run after the Venatori’s brutal attack on her home and closest friends, Amara has taken the monstrous Hound captive hoping to extract information about her mortal enemies, who are attempting to hunt her down. But, the bestial tracker refuses to spill his masters’ secrets so the last of the soul takers must turn to another enemy for help…but at what cost?

The assault on Rosalie’s surprise birthday party has begun. Amarantha’s mortal enemies, the Venatori, have finally found her after decades of being on the run, and the murderous Brother Zuriel and the monstrous Hound will stop at nothing to finally end Amarantha’s life. The last of the Soul Takers will do everything in her power to save her new love and defeat those who seek to destroy her, even if it means the total destruction of the new life she has created for herself.

Having failed in his last attempt to hunt down Amara, the last Soul Taker, Brother Zuriel must redeem himself in the eyes of his Venatori masters as well as his God by finally annihilating her. Amara will not make it easy for the enemies on her trail, formulating a plan to leave her home to keep those who have become part of her life safe. But first, she will spend one last night celebrating her beloved Rosalie’s milestone birthday. However, unbeknownst to her, danger has found its way onto the guest list!

From the burnt-out remains of a place she once called home, Amara—the last of her kind—suspects that the bloodthirsty enemies who decimated her people hundreds of years ago are back and hunting her once more. The urge to run is strong, but Amara has finally found a place where she feels at peace. Does she dare stay, potentially risking the lives of those she’s grown to love, or does she flee as she’s done before to lose herself within the shadows of human civilization?

Amarantha is the last of her kind, the Nehmer, a race that fed upon the life forces of an unsuspecting humanity. She has maintained a comfortable lifestyle for years by trading her blood and hair samples for funds from the mysterious Magnes Corporation. Now, Magnes wants more than blood and hair; they want Amaranatha and will stop at nothing to get her. Normally, this would be her time to run, to disappear…but now it’s about more than her. She’s not ready to leave Rosalie, her only connection to the human world, behind.

Amarantha is the last of her race, an ancient species that has lived among us for millennia, feeding on the life energies of humanity. Now enjoying a peaceful existence in a retirement community, she continues to consume just enough to survive. But Amarantha has made enemies throughout her long life and an ancient foe thought long defeated has returned and is out for blood, while a newer threat seeks to capture her for their own nefarious purposes! Now Amarantha must do everything in her power to vanquish her enemies and protect the life she has made for herself.

There is more to our world than meets the eye—darker things, crueler things. Exorcist John Fogg and his wife, psychic medium Theodora Knight, know what lurks in the shadows. But even they’re not prepared for the worst Hell has to offer... It was supposed to be a simple exorcism, a publicity stunt to firmly establish John and Theodora’s thriving paranormal investigation empire in the public eye. But something went wrong, leading to an on-air massacre that unleashed a malicious host of demons and left Theodora catatonic, possessed by countless spirits. John sets out on a desperate quest to find a cure for his wife, but his obsession brings him face-to-face with an even more terrifying problem: Theodora’s possession is only one piece of a deadly plot that is threatening the entire world. Because an ancient evil is about to make Earth its battlefield—and without John and Theodora’s intervention, there is no chance for salvation...

Now, he introduces readers to a mesmerizing dark world filled with monsters, where humanity’s only hope lies in the bravery of one woman… When the Throng came, the human race never stood a chance. The monsters were simply too strong, too numerous. It only took a few months for them to take over and leave the few poor souls who survived cowering in terror for years to come. But even the monsters fear something: the dark goddess known as the Raven’s Child. Legend says that she alone is destined to destroy the Throng and free those under their cruel power. And whoever wields her name and image could become the bane of the Throng and an inspiration to humankind—even if she were only a young woman, like Carissa Devin, who has vowed to reclaim the world for the human race, no matter what the cost…
