The Goblin's Trilogy #1 After being raised by her three criminal brothers, Matilda is used to stealing what she wants. However, when she picks the wrong person's pocket, she, unfortunately, wins the attentions of the goblin king, or well, prince actually. In one fell swoop, her life shifts and a thief is made a queen. The queen of a hoard of nasty, ugly, vile creatures with a taste for chaos. Surprisingly, she finds that this arrangement suits her just fine. But even the goblin queen's crown might not be enough to slate Matilda's greed as she sets her sights on overthrowing Queen Mab and becoming ruler over the entire Unseelie Court. ---- Author's note: I'm shooting to update every Thursday or Friday, depending on my work schedule. Happy reading and beware of goblins. Beautiful cover is courtesy of @thisrosewillneverdie

The Goblin's Trilogy #2 Nearly six years have passed since the goblin king and queen overthrew Queen Mab, took ownership of the Unseelie court and turned their kingdom into an empire. Life could not be any better for the goblin king and his human bride. Knut has recovered well from his ordeal and has taken up the mantle of the emperor with his usual unbridled enthusiasm. Matilda has settled into the life of an empress and mother both surprisingly happily. Their twins, Fritjof and Floki, just learned to stab things properly, their youngest, Odd, is learning to speak more than just growl and Matilda's currently expecting her fourth child. For the first time in her entire life, Matilda truly feels content. However, when she is betrayed in the worst possible way by a trusted friend and she suffers an unbearable tragedy, Matilda's thirst for more is awoken like a slumbering beast. Her grief will turn her into a monster. A monster that will stop at nothing to protect the goblin's throne and bring suffering to all those that would dare try to claim it. Special thanks to @thisrosewillneverdie for the stunning covers and banner she made!

Eliza and Dante just managed to defeat Wrath and fend off Lust while gaining another thirty days to beat Asher at his own game, but is their growing partnership strong enough to tackle Greed?

However, a series of weird accidents threaten to derail his band's success, and he can't shake the feeling of being watched day and night - even in his dreams. His situation goes from bad to worse when a girl he's never met before starts sniffing around, asking too many questions and risking his band's new found popularity. But Cody didn't use the last of the band's cash for anything less than total world domination, and his desire to permanently rid himself of his pesky new fan seems to grow with every note. Can Eliza and Dante stop Cody before he succumbs to his sin's influence or will Greed use its encore to end Eliza once and for all?

17-year old Eliza sucked her evil Aunt Celeste into a Monet painting and just survived negotiations with her aunt's demonic boss, Asher. She also managed to save her new-semi-cursed boyfriend's soul from eternal damnation (at least for the next 30 days), but can she and Dante, her dark and mysterious co-worker, do the same for a nasty piece of work ruled by Wrath? Eliza's new deal entails having to convince Andy Andersen to let go of her hatred for Caroline Hayes, the girl who single-handedly ruined her perfect life. Can she accomplish the impossible while also fighting her own deadly sin in just one month? Eliza better get it together quick, because if she doesn't figure out a way to get Andy to commit a virtuous act for Caroline, then it's not just her soul on the line. A whole lot of people are coming along for the ride, and this particular ride's final destination only dumps out into one place: Hell.

Seventeen year-old Eliza Taylor's latest run-in with New York City Police lands her on a bus with a one way ticket to the small town of Blackwater. Unimpressed with being an indentured servant for her cranky and ridiculously ancient aunt, Eliza soon finds hope when she meets Dante, another of her aunt's employees, as well as Chase, the cute boy-next-door who works at his dad's hardware store. Unfortunately, Eliza's panache for getting into trouble rears its ugly head when she discovers her aunt's shop sells more than just postcards from 1988. Her aunt's "private showroom" houses each of the seven deadly sins: Pride, Envy, Wrath, Avarice, Lust, Gluttony, and Sloth. But stopping her evil aunt from damning the souls of unsuspecting teens has a price - and that price might very well be Eliza's eternal soul. Can Eliza survive her evil aunt, outwit the dark master she serves, and keep a few souls out of Hell, including her own? She's not so sure, but seeing as how she likes her soul in the upright and firmly out-of-hell position, she's gonna give it her best shot. Hopefully her best won't end up killing her and ruining her afterlife - God knows her normal life is hard enough! **Copyrighted Material: Bad Company Copyright © Wendy Nelson 2012 All Rights Reserved.
