Shift Work
Brock Bloodworth - 2017
Welcome to Kilhaven. Rookie Officer Norman Green is a small-town human living in a big city of paranormal beings. Fresh out of the Kilhaven Police Academy, he’s got a lot to learn about the violent and filthy side of law enforcement. Luckily, Green has field training officer Heather Valance to show him how things are done. And sometimes how they should never be done. She may not always play by the rules, but what Officer Valance lacks in decorum, she makes up for with being one terrifying werewolf bitch. Which is great when things go south in a heavily shapeshifter sector. But it’s not so great when it comes to Green’s looming board review that will determine whether he stays or goes after his probationary period. As long as Green can win over Valance—and not get himself or anyone else killed—he just might make it through his rookie year …If you’re hungry for a heaping pile of police procedural with a sloppy side of paranormal creatures and a sprinkle of vulgar jokes, buy Shift Work to satisfy your unhealthy cravings.

Faery Born
Donna Joy Usher - 2014

But when goblins attack her village, Izzy is forced into action, ultimately joining the elite Border Guard and attracting the attention of the Goblin Queen. As Galanta weaves a web of deceit, Izzy struggles to control her powers. Will she be able to stop the Goblin Queen in time, or will the world be plunged into a dark new reality?
Dragon's Call
Ann Gimpel - 2019
The first book in a magic-laced, fast-paced fantasy trilogy. With dragons. After the Breaking, not much was left. I assumed it was a case of magic gone bad—until I discovered my goddess mother had broken the world. She didn’t like it that I’d turned my back on the pantheon. My long tenure among witches rubbed salt into the wound. After a confrontation where Mommy Dearest fessed up—and lacked the decency to bat an eyelash about the widespread destruction she’d caused—I was digesting what to do next when a dragon showed up. Yes. A dragon. The beast didn’t talk with me or anything, but it flew overhead wreaking havoc on a goblin horde. Witches are old souls with kind hearts, but they’re not particularly strong magically, so I was grateful for the help. And suspicious as hell. Why a dragon? Why here and why now? More importantly, why was he—she?—helping me? Part of me didn’t want to know, and another part was certain I’d find out anyway.
