Magic Dreams by Ilona Andrews

Ice Shards by Yasmine Galenorn

Double Hexed by Allyson James
It starts, innocently enough, with a leaky faucet. Janet calls her plumber, Fremont, to help fix a faucet in a guest room, when all hell breaks loose’literally. Blood sprays from the faucets and a message appears on the mirror in blood: “You are doomed.”

Janet and her friends find themselves locked in her hotel, victims of a hex cast by a very powerful sorcerer. Cassandra, Janet's Wiccan hotel manager, believes the sorcerer is one she's come to Magellan to hide from, and he's one of the most powerful entities in the world.

As Janet and her friends frantically work to release the spell before the sorcerer kills them all, they realize that their worst enemies might just be themselves.

Blood Debt by Jeanne C. Stein
Bounty-hunter-turned vampire Anna Strong is visited by three witches who ask her to right an old magical wrong. Anna will have to live up to her name to make it through alive...



Jeanne C. Stein's Bio

I am the author of the Anna Strong Vampire Chronicles.

I live in Denver but San Diego will always be home. It’s where I grew up. It’s where I set my books. I can show you Anna’s cottage on Isthmus Ct. in Mission Beach, take you to lunch at the Mission Cafe and grab a beer at The Green Flash.

I hope you enjoy Anna’s adventures. I have a great deal of fun writing them. Anna is a strong female protagonist who is battling the dual sides of her nature—she struggles to retain her humanity while fighting the beast within. She has a strong moral compass and values loyalty to her friends and family above all us.

If you haven’t yet discovered Anna, please give her a try. If you are a returning fan, I can’t tell you how much I appreciate the support. You can reach me on my website. I answer every email. I also share a blog with fellow vamp writer Mario Acevedo: http://www.biting-edge.blogspot.com We have a good time with it and I think you will too. Mario and I have the dubious distinction of being a part of a rather eclectic group of Urban Fantasy writers called The League of Reluctant Adults: http://reluctantadults.blogspot.com If you want a laugh, drop in anytime.
