So says the woman who coded the spell, at least. — The tall, dark, and handsome guy sent to assess her is a witch too (and no, that doesn't end the way you might think). What he finds in Lauren will change lives, mess with a perfectly good career, and require lots of ice cream therapy.

The Merging


John P. Logsdon - 2017
    In other words, his DNA soup includes vampire, werewolf, fae, werebear, hellion, demon, pixie (yes, pixie), and...well, everything!He's also the chief of the Las Vegas Paranormal Police Department (PPD).His job is to monitor all supernaturals and their involvement in the world of normals.Things are going pretty smoothly, until a new breed of supernaturals turns up. They're a lot tougher to deal with than your run-of-the-mill vampires and werewolves. These bastards are larger, stronger, and they laugh at wood and silver bullets.But fighting these ubernaturals really sucks when the mage who created them arrives on the scene. The dude is using demons to give him an inexhaustible supply of power, he's bent on world domination, and he simply adores inflicting pain. Even worse, though, is the fact that he walks around with his shirt open because he looks like a damn Chippendale's model.The odds are stacked against Ian and the Vegas PPD crew, but they'll have to defy those odds if they're to save the city of Vegas from cashing in its chips...
