Divine Wrath

Some angels do not suffer their children to live.
Eighteen-year-old Grace Carrington is just your average,
everyday freak. No one ever told her why her eyes started glowing when she
turned thirteen, or why she can read minds and manipulate electricity. She’s
spent two years on the run from her mother, who wants her locked away and
studied like a bug, and survives by ripping off Vegas casinos with a string of
fake IDs and her ability to bend slot machines to her will.
But what Grace doesn’t know will hurt her. The father she’s
never met was an angel, and she’s a Nephilim. Which makes her an unwitting
beacon for something far more dangerous than the cops who want to bring her
back to her mother.
There’s a monster on her trail. One who’s hunted down and
slaughtered the Nephilim for centuries. And Grace is the next target on his
list.

“Hell if I’d let some dead woman get the
best of me.”
It was supposed to be a break. A few days in Lightning
Cove, Maine -- a very small town with a very old history -- and a chance to get
to know Special Agent Calla Frost better. She swore it was just a routine
check-in with a research team. No monsters, no magic.
But when Gideon arrives in Lightning Cove, things are
just a little too perfect. And even before the first dead body -- the one that
won’t talk to him -- he realizes that nothing and no one is what it seems.
Including Calla Frost.

Red - A Paranormal Fairy Tale (Fairy Tale Reboot Book 1)

Sonya Bateman
A not-so-powerful witch battles her past and a dark presence lurking in
the forest to save her grandma in this modern paranormal retelling of Little
Red Riding Hood.
WARNING: This
FairyTale Reboot contains sexy and mysterious strangers, angry innkeepers,
sarcastic exchanges, sassy old ladies, an umbrella showdown, and a Happily Ever
After.
Aurora Bishop, known to her friends as Red, comes from a
long line of witches—but she’s not interested in magic. She lives in New York
City, where her dates keep turning out to be toads and the only magic she
performs is getting her impulsive friend to stop slipping love potions into
people’s drinks. Her mother is the new leader of the city’s coven and happy
where she is, but Red isn’t sure what she wants.
When they receive a message that her beloved Nana is
desperately ill, it’s up to Red to return to the tiny village where she grew up
and deliver a restoration elixir to her grandmother’s forest cottage. There,
she must face not only the memories of her childhood sweetheart, who vanished
from the village eleven years ago, but also the darkness that’s swallowing the
forest—and the evil presence behind it that wears more than one face.
It won’t be an ordinary walk in the woods for Red. Because
the darkness has big ears, big eyes…and big teeth.

“The
dead can’t lie. At least, not to me.”
With the
dangerous Milus Dei cult collapsed, Gideon Black is trying to get
used to his new life as a half-Fae and the DeathSpeaker—a legendary
Other with the ability to compel the dead to speak. But when freshly
murdered bodies turn up in New York with ankh-and-sword tattoos
identifying them as cult members, Gideon realizes his battle with
Milus Dei is far from over.
While
dealing with a singing dead man and a powerful Seelie noble out for
revenge, Gideon discovers that the remaining cult survivors have
skipped town. Their new target: his werewolf friend Sadie’s
estranged pack in the Appalachian Mountains.
Then
Sadie’s younger sister is abducted, and Gideon and his newfound
brother Taeral offer to help get her back. But the rescue mission
soon turns deadly as they uncover Milus Dei’s true target—and
find that the cult is not only far bigger than the New York branch,
but also developing a biological weapon to turn their soldiers into
unstoppable killing machines, capable of taking down any Other.
And
Sadie’s blood holds the key to perfecting that weapon.

Wrong Side of Hell (The DeathSpeaker Codex Book 1)

“The dead never bothered me. That honor was
reserved for the living.”
Hauling dead people around Manhattan is all in a day’s
work for body mover Gideon Black. He lives in his van, talks to corpses, and
occasionally helps the police solve murders. His life may not be normal, but
it’s simple enough.
Until the corpses start talking back.
When Gideon accidently rescues a werewolf in Central
Park, he’s drawn into the secret world of the Others. Fae, were-shifters, magic-users
and more, all playing a deadly cat-and-mouse game with Milus Dei, a massive and
powerful cult dedicated to hunting them down for experimentation and
torture—and ultimately, extinction.
Then a dead man speaks to him, saying that Milus Dei
wants him more than any Other. They’ll stop at nothing to capture him and
control the abilities he never knew he had.
He is the DeathSpeaker. He is the key. And he’s not as
human as he thought…Life was a whole lot easier when the dead stayed dead.

The Scrolls of Gideon (The DeathSpeaker Codex Book 7)

It’s NOT safe to go back in the water…
After a promise gone horribly wrong, Gideon Black has
sworn off doing favors for people. But when the mysterious Lady Tethys offers
him a house -- a home of his own for the first time in his life -- in exchange
for retrieving an artifact, he agrees.
Unfortunately, the artifact is at the bottom of the
Atlantic Ocean, with a ship that went down over four hundred years ago.
To get to the wreck, Tethys arranges passage for Gideon
and his friends with Captain Alex Walsh. But when they board the ship, they
find that the crew not only know about and distrust Others, but are prepared to
deal with them with cold iron weapons, one of the few ways to kill a Fae. And
the captain is looking for an excuse to use them.
Then they reach the dive site, and things go from bad
to worse when the ship is attacked by something far more dangerous than humans
with cold iron.

Realm of Mirrors (The DeathSpeaker Codex Book 3)

“The dead must answer to
you, and no one else. Remember that, Gideon.”
He may be the DeathSpeaker,
but Gideon Black has no idea what he’s doing. The job didn’t come with an
instruction manual. That’s why his half-brother Taeral plans to bring him
across the Veil to the Fae realm of Arcadia, to consult with an ancient Fae who
knew the previous DeathSpeaker personally.
But those plans are cancelled
when the royal Unseelie Guard invade their home, dragging Taeral and their
father, Daoin, to Arcadia ahead of schedule -- and under extreme duress. And
Gideon will do anything to get them back.
Since crossing the Veil
isn’t exactly a natural instinct, Gideon and his werewolf friend Sadie are
forced to seek help from an unlikely -- and unfriendly -- Unseelie Fae, a
dangerous traitor to his race who’s crossed paths with Taeral in the past. And
Gideon may not survive his acquaintance long enough to attempt a rescue.
The concrete jungles of
Manhattan are nothing compared to the threats waiting in Arcadia. Facing deadly
wildlife, even deadlier enemies, and magic he never imagined possible, Gideon
must learn quickly to wield his power as both a Fae and the DeathSpeaker --
before the vengeful Unseelie Queen can exact a cost higher than death from his
family, and everyone he holds dear.

City of Secrets (The DeathSpeaker Codex Book 5)

“The
enemy of my enemy should be left the hell alone.”
A creatively violent killer who’s
clearly not human is targeting Milus Dei members, and Gideon Black isn’t
exactly sure he should stop it. After all, the cult hasn’t done him any favors —
unless you count torturing his father and brother, brutally experimenting on
his friends, killing countless Others and attempting to use his power to wipe
out the rest.
So when Milus Dei asks for his help
finding the killer, he’s pretty comfortable turning them down.
Then two strangers turn up with personal
stakes in the investigation, both a type of Other no one’s ever heard of. Their
paths cross with Gideon, and they soon learn they have a common enemy. But it’s
not Milus Dei.
With the help of a thief, a genie,
and an uneasy alliance with the cult that’s been hunting him down, the
DeathSpeaker faces his greatest challenge yet. There’s a monster beneath the
city, an immortal shapeshifter whose goals are far beyond revenge — and the
future of the world is written in blood.
