Ellicia was prepared to face the Latcher. Finally. She hadn't been more prepared for anything in her life. But all didn't go according to plan. What happened next made her wish she'd never heard the word, "Alleyhill."

Now, Ellicia has been unexpectedly cast to hell where time moves differently. What feels like weeks could be mere days or minutes or just a few seconds in the land of the living. For Ellicia, what felt like three years of endless fiery torture was five months back on earth. All she wants now is to wake up from what she knows is not a dream.

Fortunately for her, Nathan wants the same thing. Along with those who love her, Nathan has been looking for a way to get her out. It took several months, but they finally found one. Now they can only hope that Ellicia will return with her sanity intact -- because there's always a slight chance that she won't be the same girl they all remember.

For 18-year old Janelle, the transition from high school senior to practitioner of the magic arts is traumatic. Ripped from her comfortable suburban life, she is stranded in a wild land where elemental monsters roam the countryside. With her memories in tatters and her magical abilities inconsistent and limited by debilitating headaches, Janelle struggles to find her standing in this world, unsure whether it’s a “real” place or the product of a comatose or diseased mind. After proving her value to the citizens of a small community, Janelle must travel on a journey of self-discovery, seeking not only to better understand her talents but to determine how the secrets of her past might inform her present. And, even as she attempts this, genocidal forces begin massing with the goal of claiming the world as their own by annihilating its current inhabitants.

From James Berardinelli, the author of “The Last Whisper of the Gods” trilogy, comes a new saga that combines epic fantasy, subtle romance, and dimension hopping. “Lingering Haze” is the first book of “The Elusive Strain”, a series that invites readers to accompany Janelle as she battles evil while exploring a fantastical new world and seeking to uncover the truth about the events that led to her being summoned.

And what will they be when they do?

In an alternate London, where ancient Hindu gods rule, one woman holds humanity’s fate in her blood-stained hands...

Adopted by Brahma Corp’s Assassin Guild and raised as one of their own, Malina Hayes is about to make her fiftieth kill. After bringing down forty-nine of London’s worst criminals, this latest job shouldn't be a big deal. But if Malina is successful, she’ll receive her first milestone mark. Ascension in the ranks, better pay, and a swanky flat in Soho all sound like very good reasons to make this kill count.

But fate and destiny have different plans for Malina. Seconds away from receiving the coveted milestone mark, Malina is torn away from the world she knows and thrust onto a new path—one where the purity of her soul will determine the very fate of mankind. Trouble is, Malina's kill orders were a lie. The targets she assassinated were innocents, and each one has left a terrible stain on her soul.

Stains she must now remove, at any cost.

Atoning for the blood of fifty victims is no mean feat, especially for someone who has spent their entire life killing. But if Malina fails, the lock on the gates of the underworld will crumble to dust. And we all know what happens when a legion of demons is unleashed upon the world...

Especially when they have their sights set on you.

Half-human. Half-demon. All attitude.

Luther Cross here. Dangerously handsome, effortlessly stylish half-demon, at your service. As I have inherited certain...abilities with my odd genetics, I’ve put them to use as Chicago’s foremost paranormal investigator.

My current case? Well, I have to admit, it feels a little personal. I’m helping a mysterious girl who’s turned up on my doorstep, pregnant through mystic means. I can’t help but think of my own mother…and if I don’t help her, she’ll face the same fate.

Turns out, someone is trying to create an army of half-demons. While it might be a pleasant change to hang out with my own kind, I know most half-demons don’t have my sense of morality. If I don’t stop this evil plan, the armistice between Heaven and Hell will be broken and all of the Earth will pay… It will be the beginning of the end.

With no God to serve and no home amongst men, why do I event exist?

With no memory of her past and no way to survive on her own, Viola is forced to live with a man she hates. Practically a slave to his every desire, she cooks for him, shares his bed, and even steals for him. This life of involuntary servitude is all she's ever known.

Locked away like some dark secret, Viola knows nothing of the world--that is, until she's found stealing one day when trying to do her master's bidding. Now her secret world is turned upside down and things can never go back to the way they were. Which is worse, a cruel master who treats her like an animal, or a cold world that views her as a monster?

With blood-red eyes and hair white as snow, her exotic origin remains a mystery even to herself. What is she? Where did she come from? Some things are better left unknown...

A supernatural war. A conflict between sister witches. The only thing thicker than blood is blood magic.

With her most lethal supernatural enemies finally vanquished, Autumn Winters figures she must be in for a little downtime. Sure, she keeps encountering a dead coven leader, and her own powers keep growing inexplicably stronger, but magic and ghosts just go with the veil witch territory.

But when the supernatural war continues to escalate, and Autumn’s already volatile sister teams up with a witch bent on winning that conflict, everything changes. Soon, Autumn finds herself not only trying to keep her sister alive, but harboring a secret that can only widen the rift between them. Namely, the werewolf she brought back to life, a man making her feel something strong enough that she questions which side is worth taking.

First Jubal has to convince her not to kill him. Then he has to convince her to help save him.

PRAISE FOR BEAUTIFUL CORPSE:
“Jubal Van Zandt is a terrible person—dark, arrogant, and narcissistic to his soul—yet you also can’t help but love him. And likewise, his story is a dark and often painful thing, but sprinkled with occasional glimpses of hope and maybe even redemption.”
–James A. Hunter, Author of the Yancy Lazarus Series and Viridian Gate Online

However, when the only father figure in her life is brutally murdered, and the dangerous Brethren with their predatory Lord Alpha come to investigate, Mack has to not only ensure the physical safety of her adopted family by hiding her apparent humanity, she also has to seek the blood-soaked vengeance that she craves.

Then, when a local dryad asks her for some help, things really start to fire up. There are some long hot summer days ahead...
