Seguito di Il desiderio del genio
Serie Sollevando il Velo. Libro 3

Dieci anni fa, la Grande Rivelazione ha mostrato la presenza sulla Terra di creature sovrannaturali, ma non sono in tanti a sapere molto su di loro o a dare loro molta importanza, a parte quando si tratta di ricevere uno stipendio.

Kieran Knight è un mercenario che dà la caccia alle creature mitologiche per denaro. La sua missione è rapire un certo Gabriel King per portarlo dal suo cliente. Ma il suo obiettivo non è un semplice cowboy: è un potente licantropo e il beta del suo branco e, come scopriranno presto, Gabriel e Kieran sono compagni.

Kieran non sa praticamente nulla di come funzioni un accoppiamento, e non è neppure gay, ma ciò non vuol dire che non senta l’attrazione bollente che c’è tra lui e l’altro uomo. Per salvare Gabriel, mette in atto un piano di fuga, ma i suoi clienti non lasceranno andare il loro licantropo senza lottare.

Even the most lawless of creatures have laws, and for vampires, the sacrifice system is the most important. For every ten members of a coven, the sophisticated blood-drinkers have one “sacrificial lamb” to keep the worlds of the living and the Undead balanced.

August Prescott finds this fascinating—once he accepts the world is not what it seems. Kidnapped and kept in isolation, lack of memory troubles him but helps him fall into this society without resistance.

August befriends Theo, who may or may not be the only one August trusts, and when it’s Theo’s turn to drink from him in the “Sanctuary,” August could believe he’s in love. And so could fifty-year-young vampire Theo, because August doesn’t look at Theo like he’s a monster.

But Theo’s afraid of loving and must decide if he’ll waste eternity or welcome August into it. According to the Lamb, the chilling sovereign of blood-drinking Undead, that might be fate’s design. And if living forever means foregoing the comforts of humanity for Theo’s kisses, Theo’s arms, and Theo’s love, August is ready to turn.

Serie Scheletri, Libro 1

Dylan Warner è giovane, colto e conduce una vita del tutto normale. Non è il tipo che si nota facilmente, fino al giorno in cui, dopo una serata movimentata con un affascinante sconosciuto, non diventa un lupo mannaro. Nonostante tutto, però, Dylan vuole solo continuare a vivere la sua tranquilla – seppur solitaria – esistenza da architetto. Cerca di tenere sotto controllo gli impulsi selvaggi, ma ben presto decide che ne ha abbastanza della città e si trasferisce in campagna, dove gli sarà più difficile far del male al prossimo. La sua nuova casa è un po’ decrepita, ma promettente, e corredata per di più da un nuovo vicino: il sexy, anche se un po’ rozzo, Chris Nock.

Dylan assume Chris perché lo aiuti a ristrutturare casa, ma presto si accorge che le sue prime impressioni su di lui erano sbagliate e che Chris, così come la casa, potrebbe diventare un elemento fisso nella sua nuova vita. Tra il mostrare al suo capo quanto vale, resistere al seducente richiamo del suo pericoloso ex-amante e la sua limitata esperienza nel campo delle relazioni sentimentali, per Dylan è molto difficile capire come comportarsi… Come giustificare poi l’irresistibile voglia di ululare alla luna piena che lo coglie ogni mese?

The Warlock Brothers of Havenbridge: Book One

Mason Blackmoor just can’t compete with his brothers, much less his father. They represent the epitome of black magic, strong, dark, and wicked, and though Mason tries to live up to his respected lineage, most of the spells he casts go awry. To make matters worse, his active power has yet to kick in. While his brothers wield lightning and harness the cold, Mason sits on the sidelines, waiting for the moment when he can finally enter the magical game.

When a dead body is discovered on the football field of his high school, Mason meets Drake Carpenter, the new kid in town. Drake’s confident demeanor and quick wit rub Mason the wrong way. Drake is far too self-assured for someone without an ounce of magical blood in his body, and Mason aims to teach him a lesson—like turn him into a roach. And if he’s lucky, maybe this time Mason won’t be the one turned into an insect.

Not surprisingly, the dislike is mutual, and Drake does nothing to dispel Mason’s suspicion that the sexy boy with a southern drawl is somehow connected to the murder.

If only Mason didn’t find himself inexplicably spell bound whenever they are together, they might actually find out what danger hides in the shadows.
