They're a match made in hell: Reid Brice is the leader of a notorious gang called the Grim Reapers, and Scarlett Hades is the daughter of the lord of the underworld.

Scarlett comes to the rescue, and thus begins her entanglement with the Grim Reapers. Reid pursues Scarlett, drawn by her bravado and her unusual nonchalance in the face of blood and deadly threats. He thinks this is the girl he has been looking for. Will he still think the same when she reveals her true form to him? Or will he see her as nothing but a monster?

"What?" "Christian, thanks to you, I now understand what people mean when they say you're dark and handsome!" Christian looked smug. "I knew you would eventually." "They mean that when it's dark, you're handsome!" The smug look on his face disappeared. "I hate you." *** Contains some spoilers to Kidnap My Heart.

"Magick ain't pretty, it ain't stars and sparkles. Magick is dirty. It's rough. Raw. It's blood and guts and vomit. You hear me?" When Prime Lord Hark is found in a pool of his own blood on the steps of his halls, Tonmerion Hark finds his world not only turned upside down, but inside out. His father's last will and testament forces him west across the Iron Ocean, to the very brink of the Endless Land and all civilisation. They call it Wyoming. This is a story of murder and family.

This is a story of blood and magick. But there are darker things at work in Fell Falls, and not just the railwraiths or the savages. Secrets lurk in Tonmerion's bloodline.

Emma Austen, daughter of the infamous Alpha Lillian, is outcast for her peculiar disposition: her ability to shift and take on bizarre Alpha qualities even her mother hasn't seen before. In the world Emma lives in, female werewolves aren't a normal "thing", so when it comes to school, night runs, and all of the above, she has to act like one of the guys. Acting like one of the guys makes the next bit tough: she has to get married. Before she's 21. Or risk an arrange marriage. Oh joy. At the age of nineteen, Emma decides this is the year she's going to find "the one" (whatever that means). Through a series of unfortunate events, Emma is kidnapped and taken across state border to atone for her indecency of being a female werewolf--only, there's a change of plans when curious wayward traveler, Gavin Wilde, swings by in his iconic turquoise Volkswagen that hails from Stoughton, Wisconsin. As it turns out, circumnavigating the United States via BMW Volkswagen van is better spent with two people rather than one. [SEQUEL TO "THE WILD", BUT CAN BE READ SEPARATELY]

My name is Tide. I'd love to say hi and all, but if I tell you my location two very bad things could happen. First, someone who isn't really on my list of favorite people might find the information. Then, they would hunt us down and try to use our powers to take over the world and other maniacal things. Yeah, not so fun. However, I'd like it if people knew how things really happened. You may see things on the news, and they may sound bad, but trust me, this is the real story. Because I'm an Elemental. And somebody needs to set the record straight.* [Action #101] [Fantasy #2] :: cover credit goes to the lovely ATXNNA :: *heyo so this book is pretty old, some (a lot of) spelling mistakes, some (a lot of) plot holes, but if you're looking for some fast paced action and some sarcasm and some cliche romance you should honestly just go to the second book but yeah, this has got that, just with, you know, the glaring faults in the story line. Just a warning.
