Cas Lowood has inherited an unusual vocation: He kills the dead. So did his father before him, until he was gruesomely murdered by a ghost he sought to kill. Now, armed with his father's mysterious and deadly athame, Cas travels the country with his kitchen-witch mother and their spirit-sniffing cat. Together they follow legends and local lore, trying to keep up with the murderous dead -- keeping pesky things like the future and friends at bay. When they arrive in a new town in search of a ghost the locals call Anna Dressed in Blood, Cas doesn't expect anything outside of the ordinary: track, hunt, kill. What he finds instead is a girl entangled in curses and rage, a ghost like he's never faced before. She still wears the dress she wore on the day of her brutal murder in 1958: once white, now stained red and dripping with blood. Since her death, Anna has killed any and every person who has dared to step into the deserted Victorian she used to call home. But she, for whatever reason, spares Cas's life.

But just when they’ve triumphed over the latest battle, Cat’s new and unexpected abilities threaten to upset a long-standing balance… With the mysterious disappearance of vampires, rumors abound that a species war is brewing.  A zealot is inciting tensions between the vampires and ghouls, and if these two powerful groups clash, innocent mortals could become collateral damage.

Now it's time for a vacation. But their hopes for a perfect Paris holiday are dashed when Cat awakes one night in terror.

Gregor believes Cat is his and he won't stop until he has her. As the battle begins between the vamp who haunts her nightmares and the one who holds her heart, only Cat can break Gregor's hold over her. She'll need all the power she can summon in order to bring down the baddest bloodsucker she's ever faced...even if getting that power will result in an early grave.

Welcome to a future where water is more precious than gold or oil-and worth killing for Vera and her brother Will live in the shadow of the Great Panic, in a country that has collapsed from environmental catastrophe. Water is hoarded by governments, rivers are dammed, and clouds are sucked from the sky. But then Vera befriends Kai, who seems to have limitless access to fresh water.

I was parched just reading it."-Laurie David, academy award winning producer of An Inconvenient Truth, and author of The Down to Earth Guide to Global Warming

One of the hottest new voices in paranormal romance, Shelly Laurenston knows how to do it all, delivering tales that are wickedly funny, action-packed, and scorch-your-fingers sexy. With The Mane Event, she proves just how delicious love can be once you unleash your inner beast... CHRISTMAS PRIDE How come all the good-looking ones are insane?  That's what runs through NYPD cop Desiree "Dez" MacDermot's mind the minute she hooks up again with her childhood buddy, Mace Llewellyn.  It isn't just the way he stares at her with those too-sexy gold eyes -- as if he could devour her on the spot.  Or the six-four, built-like-a-Navy SEAL bod-o-death.  It isn't even that he sniffs her neck and purrs, making her entire body tingle.  It's more about that disconcerting, shifting-from-man-to-lion thing that unhinges her... and makes her want more.  Mace likes making Dez crazy.  In fact, he likes her any way he can get her -- in bed, on the desk, here, now, again.  Together, they'd always been trouble, but Dez has no idea just how good trouble can feel.... SHAW'S TAIL Brendon Shaw, hotel owner and lion shifter, has seen better days.  He's been beaten, had a gun to the back of his head, and had to be rescued by a Pack of shape-shifting wolves.  He didn't think he'd survive the night, much less find the woman of his dreams.  And he never thought the woman of his dreams would have a Tennessee accent and wear cowboy boots.  Once he sets his sights on her, the predator in him is ready to pounce and never let go.  Ronnie Lee Reed is ready to change her life, and New York City is the place where any girl -- even one who runs with a Pack -- can redefine herself.  First order of business:  find a mate, settle down, and stop using men for sex.  Even big, gorgeous, lion-shifting, oh-my-what-big-um-paws-you-have men.  Then again....

It only takes one bite... Since the moment he showed up -- gloriously naked -- I've been having a hard time keeping my relationship with the clinic's newest amnesiac patient strictly professional. Damian might not remember his past, but sweet mamma jamma, he sure knows how to push all my buttons. Even with my empathic abilities, I'm not sure I can get past Damian's anger to find the cause of his delusions. After all, falling for a patient is bad enough, but falling for a patient who thinks he's a werewolf is a whole other kind of crazy. Especially when said patient decides to mark me as his. Now I'm feeling a little bit funny, and not just because Damian sets my hormones raging...

The darkness in his soul could claim her love...or her life. Freygard, a world where women rule and men are slaves, would seem to be a female Nirvana.  Not for the warrior Nerya.  So far her required visits to the coupling chambers have been awkward and embarrassing.  Until Jaden.  Despite his chains, the defiant slave's expert pleasuring satisfies her body -- and sparks a determination to defend him from her cruel queen.

On the journey, Nerya's determination to resist her powerful attraction to Jaden melts away in the heat of his desire.  Leaving her wondering just who is in control -- and what it is about him that bothers her.  When they are forced to face a soul-stealing mage, his secret is revealed. He is warrior of the feared Dai'Shi-en, legendary for the dark magic that fuels their violence...and their lust.
