Romance / Science Fiction & Fantasy

When you pull up stakes, make sure you don't get stabbed in the back. Self-taught in the arcane arts, hedgewitch Selena Marx is comfortable doing divination for West Los Angeles' anxiety-ridden housewives, lawyers, and aspiring actresses. Her biggest challenge? Avoiding Lucien Dumond, leader of the Greater Los Angeles Necromancers' Guild, who views her as fresh meat to add to his harem of slavishly devoted groupies. Selena's not interested in the slimy, celebrity-schmoozing sorcerer, but nobody turns Lucien down without consequences. When he threatens to fit her with magical cement shoes and drop her off the Santa Monica Pier, Selena's Tarot cards point her to Globe, Arizona, for a new home, a new shop, and a cursed pet cat.

Unseen Voices

Christine Pope

Romance / Science Fiction & Fantasy

Project Demon Hunters is canceled...but apparently no one told the demons. Knowing how the horrifying events that took place while filming Project Demon Hunters shook his friend Michael Covenant to the core, Will Gordon readily says yes to Michael's request to be ready — as a friend and as an Episcopal priest — in case psychic Rosemary McGuire calls for help. Rosemary doesn't know exactly why the show was canceled...other than a demon murdered the show's producer, and the network buried every scrap of harrowing footage under a ton of hacker-proof security. When an independent filmmaker shows up at Rosemary's metaphysical bookshop with tantalizing clues that a backup copy of the missing footage exists, she promises Michael she'll call some crusty old priest "in a pinch," and begins following a trail of impossibly tiny bread crumbs. But that trail doesn't just lead her somewhere. It leads something to Rosemary, alarming...

Hell hath no fury like a demon back from the dead. Rosemary McGuire thought the past was dead. Unfortunately, she's dead wrong...because it's standing on her doorstep, very much alive. But this time, Caleb Lockwood's target isn't the hidden hard drive with the footage that proves demons are real. His target is Rosemary. When Will Gordon comes home to find Rosemary gone, he trusts his instincts and reaches out to a network of friends forged in the fires of too many demon battles. Soon he, Michael, Audrey, and Glynis are casting supernatural nets far and wide in a desperate search. And Will is torn between hurling ungodly curses at who — or what — took the love of his life, and falling to his knees to pray for her safe return. The truth isn't just a nightmare — it's a night terror. And Rosemary faces the terrible choice of surrendering everything she is to an unspeakable evil...or losing everyone she loves. Unbroken...

Facing the darkness is their only way back to the light. After a horrible accident while filming the third episode of Project Demon Hunters, Audrey Barrett can't get the if onlys out of her head. If only she hadn't tried to play hero. If only she'd stayed out of the way. In the end, Michael sent the demon in question back to hell...but at a terrible cost. The cable network has pulled the plug on the show, and they're all out of a job. Now there's nothing left to do but tie up loose ends. At least Audrey still has Michael, alive and by her side. But those loose ends are a clear sign — gouged deep in oak — that the demon who's been making their lives miserable isn't through with them after all. They have no choice but to confront evil on its own ground. But if they can't pin a name on this demon, nothing will save them...not even an ocean of holy water.
