Psychic Visions: Books 7-9
Dale Mayer - 2016
This is a paranormal romantic suspense/thriller series. The books are: Eyes to the Soul Just because a person can see – doesn’t mean they should look. Celina Wilton was technically blind, a state she wasn’t very happy about. In her case, the alternative was worse. So she’d learn to adapt, one way or another. Stefan Kronos has wanted to get close to Celina for a long time, but she has walls that he’s been forced to go around in some unusual ways. When a case he’s been called to consult on puts her square in his radar, he has to watch his step…and hers. Unraveling the threads twisting between them and a killer like none Stefan had seen before, means Celina has to trust him enough to let him inside her barriers. That’s when Stefan realizes he’s not the only with eyes into her soul. Now You See Her… Energy. The life force of good … and evil And sometimes evil is stronger. Tia spent years imprisoned in a ‘special’ program. When she finally escaped, she ran as far away as she could. But it wouldn’t leave her alone. Only one person can help her. Stefan. But when she contacts him for help, she gets more than she bargained for. Six weeks later, she awakens from a coma to find more problems than ever – and she’s still being hunted. Dean, moonlighting as a guard at the hospital, finds himself in an impossible situation. His belief system is stretched out of control by someone whom he can’t forget … and can’t believe. Until he has no choice. With everything on the line, Tia and Dean must work together to solve the problem that has somehow — in a very unique way — entwined them both. Shattered Some events are life shattering… Caught in a gilded cage for most of her life, Hannah can’t stop trying to escape. There’s something wrong with her that the doctors can’t figure it out, but she…’d rather be free and die then stay trapped… forever. Caught once again, Trevor others her a unique way out. Should she trust him? And what if he finds out the truth – will he still be on her side? Trevor knew he much to make up for in his life. And he worked at it every day of his life. But when the opportunity to rescue an incredibly talented waif, he hadn’t realize how much would be asked of him. Time is against them. And that’s when they find out that not all enemies are outside in the world. Sometimes they are inside… we just don’t know it…

Midnight Bites
Rachel Caine - 2016
though I did leave out some of the original "diary" entries that appeared on an earlier version of the Morganville website, simply because they were just scenes and not stories, and were generally really short snippets. This is all short fiction, and it's been carefully organized into the timeline, so you can read from the earliest adventures (some of which belong to vampires) all the way through some post-Daylighters goodies.MIDNIGHT BITES includes a total of more than 50,000 words of brand new content, which makes me very happy indeed (and I hope will also make you happy, too). From stories featuring our favorite bunny-slipper-wearing mad scientist to a mystery solved by police chief Hannah Moses, I think you'll find this is a diverse group of stories that will shine a little more light in the murkiest corners of Morganville.
The Blood Countess
Tara Moss - 2010
When she's invited to live with her mysterious Great-Aunt Celia in New York City, she seizes the opportunity to escape her stifling hometown break from her tragic past and make it as a writer. Things, however, are not what she is expecting. For starters, her great-aunt's gothic mansion is in a mist-wreathed Manhattan suburb that doesn't appear on maps. And then there's Celia herself - a former designer to the stars of Hollywood's Golden Age - who is elegant, unnaturally young and always wearing a veil. Pandora lands a job at a fashion magazine and her first assignment is covering the A-list launch of the latest miracle cream, BloodofYouth. But something is not right about the product, nor Athanasia, the drop-dead beautiful face of the brand. It seems there may be a secret ingredient in BloodofYouth, a secret worth killing for...
Many Bloody Returns
Charlaine HarrisJeanne C. Stein - 2007
Suspenseful, surprising, sometimes dark, sometimes humorous-these all-new stories will ensure that readers never think of vampires (or birthdays) in quite the same way again. In New York Times bestselling author Charlaine Harris's "Dracula Night," Sookie Stackhouse is the only human at the annual commemoration of Dracula's birth. But this year, the Prince of Darkness actually shows up-and finds Sookie to be a tasty-looking present. New York Times bestselling author Jim Butcher's crime-solving wizard Harry Dresden, of the Dresden Files novels, heads to a role-playing party to give his vampire brother a birthday present in "It's My Birthday Too," only to discover there are some bloodthirsty party crashers who don't share their brotherly love. In "Twilight," Cassandra DuCharme, who appeared in New York Times bestselling author Kelley Armstrong's Dime Store Magic, knows she has to kill to live as a vampire another year-but finds herself disturbingly disinterested in the hunt. Plus ten more bloody good birthday stories that take the cake.Contents xi • Preface: A Few Words (Many Bloody Returns) • (2007) • essay by Charlaine Harris and Toni L. P.
