But with Gods and Goddesses placing wagers, Valkyries joining the fight, and powerful Witches and Wizards taking sides, trouble is brewing. Behind a veil lies a mirror world to Earth, one that runs on magic. But as magic begins to seep out of Htrea and fewer are born with the Talent, the Tainted, those without the ability to do magic, are being persecuted and exterminated. Htrae is run by a mad Empress and a force of rebels -- including Will and Laina's fire-wielding warrior-general sister, Rowan and her best friend, the cheeky Wizard Wiz-kid, Joel -- are garnering warriors for a fight. According to prophecy, the fate of the war of two worlds lies in the hands of one of three siblings: a son or daughter of the remaining bloodline of the Kingdom of Aary. Will they be able to fight together to survive and win the Witch War? ~~~ Thank you to Manu Cabañero for the letting me use this gorgeous photograph in my cover art!

After Evie Harper spends the day pining after her unrequited childhood crush, Harley, she drowns her sorrows in a bottle of stolen wine. But the next day, and one glorious hangover later, Harley is found with a very naked-very strangled stripper in his bed. Naturally the police assume that it's some kind of erotic play gone terribly wrong, but Harley swears that he left her alive and "orgasmically" happy when he went on the ill fated booze and condom run. And Evie knows Harley isn't a violent man. When the Chos ask her to investigate the murder, and possibly clear their son's name, she reluctantly agrees. But as Evie digs deeper into the dead woman's life she discovers that the exotic dancer had quite the past; one that involved drugs, prostitution, and gangs. Who knew the life of a stripper could get so dirty? Evie Harper Mysteries: Book 2
