"A final bombshell will leave readers shocked in this brutal, dark, gripping, and sometimes touching tale that is Spencer at her very best. A must-read" - Booklist Starred Review A nameless victim. An unknown killer. An impossible case for Monika Paniatowski. Before she can even begin to track down the killer of the old woman dumped by the lonely canal, Monika Paniatowski needs to find out who she is - and no one seems to know. Even when her daughter Louisa provides the vital clue, it only makes life more difficult, because the Chief Constable - intent on making Paniatowski's life difficult - refused to let her follow the obvious trail. And it is not until there is a second, even more brutal, murder, that Paniatowski realises she will have to call on the help of her old mentor, ex-DCI Charlie Woodend.

Fresh hell from the Demonata – you can’t cheat death...

There’s a new vampire in town, and he’s out for blood. It’s been four weeks since Ava López cursed her coven, extinguishing any chance they had of restoring their magic. But as Ava and her vampire nestmates try to rebound from the chaos she caused, she discovers the war hasn’t ended. The humans of Darkhaven are suspicious of recent events, and a mysterious note etched in the ashes of tragedy shakes Ava to her core. On top of everything, she is forced to rely on information provided by a newcomer—a fire witch hot on the trail of a particularly malicious rogue vampire. The very same who may well be responsible for upending Ava’s life. Though Darkhaven’s newest resident claims to come in peace, Ava tries to convince her vampire nest that their visitor is hiding a past far more sinister than they realize. But even Ava is blind to the true darkness… The darkness that resides in the crystal nestled close to her heart.

Yea though I Walk through the Valley of the Shadow of Death had to be written. It is a heart-wrenching account of a woman’s road through her own personal anguish and back, one that could be written only by the person who experienced it. It describes how she lived through the death of her infant daughter, a fire that totally destroyed her home and its contents, the suicide of her 21-year-old son, the killing of her 25-year-old son, the subsequent trauma, called Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) that followed, and her return to stability. Such a listing doesn’t capture Chris’s journey. Though not a professional writer, she has allowed us to enter her world, with all of its twists and turns, moments of sadness and despair, and finally, the peace that comes from emerging on the other side. She has a guileless honesty that won’t let you go. No doubt thousands of people have shared some of Chris’s experiences— few, if any, to her degree—but fewer still have her ability to capture that experience in a way that makes her experiences their own.

"One of the best PNR series ever written." I just can't put these books down! I.T. Lucas is a masterful storyteller and has woven a complex world filled with engaging characters, intense stories and amazing dialogue that draws the reader in and never lets go. Both Turner and Bridget appear in earlier stories and Ms. Lucas has made this their time to shine. As has been her pattern, there is a second story about Roni and Sylvia that has been developing along with others that is barreling to a conclusion. Finally, we have the conflict with The Doomers and human trafficking. That's another shoe that's sure to drop in future stories."Series is fantastic! IT Lucas did it again. Can't wait for next book. I could read this series a number of times. The characters are so diverse & the story line is awesome. If you've read Black Dagger Brotherhood you have to try this series.""Love, love, love this series!!! IT Lucas has such a gift for writing. She takes a character like Victor who doesn't show a lot of emotion, and gets you so invested in his story that you are rooting for a happy ending for him. I can't WAIT for the next book in the series to see what happens!!!!""This is a series not to be missed. Truly, one of the best Paranormal Romance series ever written.""FANTASTIC SERIES. This series is absolutely one of my favorite. I love being able to follow the lives of the characters from book to book and keep up with what is going on in their lives. In DARK OPERATIVE, Bridget meets Turner and the possibility of a long awaited love presents itself, but with obstacles on the horizon, there is a possibility that their romance will not be realized. As usual, I am anxiously awaiting the next installment. Oh, did I say I LOVE this series!!""Brilliant as always. Totally captivating! This series gets me Every. Single. Time. My heart goes out to Bridget and Turner. I hope they are lovemates!--------------------As a brilliant strategist and the only human entrusted with the secret of immortals' existence, Turner is both an asset and a liability to the clan. His request to attempt transition into immortality as an alternative to cancer treatments cannot be denied without risking the clan's exposure. On the other hand, approving it means risking his premature death. In both scenarios, the clan will lose a valuable ally.When the decision is left to the clan's physician, Turner makes plans to manipulate her by taking advantage of her interest in him.Will Bridget fall for the cold, calculated operative? Or will Turner fall into his own trap?--------------------The loneliness didn't bother Turner. He was entirely satisfied with his own company. Even sex wasn't a strong enough motivator to seek out partners other than the paid kind.Dealing with people in any capacity other than professional was a strain. He wasn't a charmer who knew how to pick up women, and he didn't arm himself with the latest jokes and sports statistics to entertain company. The things he liked to talk about were as effective at prompting others' hasty departure as small talk was for him.Bridget, however, was not only highly intelligent but one of the most alluring women he had ever encountered, maybe because she wasn't as transparent to him as most people were.And she was hot.As much as Turner liked to believe he was all brain and not susceptible to primal urges, apparently they were still there, lying dormant until the right woman triggered their resurgence.And yet, he could have stifled his immediate and quite disturbing attraction to the doctor if not for the mixed signals she was sending him. Those subtle flirtatious comments confused him. Was she like that with all her patients?
