Was a puppy too much to ask for? Lions may rule the concrete jungle of New York City, but the hidden world of beastwalkers, unseen by humans, contains a multitude of kingdoms, and not all of them share the same commitment to peace. Far to the south in New Orleans, King Azure rules the Kingdom of Venom with power, cunning, and treachery. And the scheming serpent has just found an animus he wants in the Big Apple.

The first in the Half-Moon Hollow series is “wry, delicious fun” (Susan Andersen, New York Times bestselling author) as it follows a librarian whose life is turned upside down by a tempestuous and sexy vampire. Maybe it was the Shenanigans gift certificate that put her over the edge. When children’s librarian and self-professed nice girl Jane Jameson is fired by her beastly boss and handed twenty-five dollars in potato skins instead of a severance check, she goes on a bender that’s sure to become Half Moon Hollow legend. On her way home, she’s mistaken for a deer, shot, and left for dead. And thanks to the mysterious stranger she met while chugging neon-colored cocktails, she wakes up with a decidedly unladylike thirst for blood. Jane is now the latest recipient of a gift basket from the Newly Undead Welcoming Committee, and her life-after-lifestyle is taking some getting used to. Her recently deceased favorite aunt is now her ghostly roommate. She has to fake breathing and endure daytime hours to avoid coming out of the coffin to her family. She’s forced to forgo her favorite down-home Southern cooking for bags of O negative. Her relationship with her sexy, mercurial vampire sire keeps running hot and cold. And if all that wasn’t enough, it looks like someone in Half Moon Hollow is trying to frame her for a series of vampire murders. What’s a nice undead girl to do?

When vampire Sebastian meets Wilhemina Weiss, who, unbeknownst to him, is working undercover at his club Carfax Abbey to reform his wicked ways, he discovers that love bites in a big way when he falls for this holier-than-thou beauty.

IT’S NOT EVERY DAY YOU MEET AN AMATEUR SLEUTH WITH FANGS. “…a charming tale of dragons, deception, and dastardly deeds, and I loved every minute of it." “…an excellent read…[a] hilarious series” “Once I started reading it, I couldn’t put it down…it was that good!” “Light and fanciful with a darn good mystery woven in. What fun!” If you like fantastical mysteries that mix in laughs with murderous mayhem and mythical beasts, you’ll love the Circus of Unusual Creatures Mysteries. HEY EVERYONE, CORDELIA HERE. Duncan (aka "Deadliest Dragon in the West") has finally finished typing up the third sleuthing adventure he got us tangled up in. It’s the one that involves booze smuggling, dragon matchmaking, too much lemonade, and a unicorn having a very bad hair day. I’m not sure about Duncan calling it a "masterpiece of mystery,” but trust me, it's a good one. Especially when that unicorn has a wardrobe malfunction and Duncan becomes a victim of his own matchmaking. Of course, things aren’t all fun and games at Zin’s Circus of Unusual Creatures. We’ve got some pesky trainees driving us all batty, a police raid that threatens to shut the show down permanently, and, yes, a couple of confounding murders to solve. Now, while I go see what Pepper's cooking up in the Cantina, why not make a dragon's day by grabbing your own copy of Fangs a Million? And if you haven't started The Circus of Unusual Creatures series yet, I'm pretty sure you’ll love, not only this tale, but also Duncan's first two books: Hoard It All Before and Tipping the Scales. Note: While you can read The Circus of Unusual Creatures Mysteries on their own, you'll get far more out of the stories if you read the books in order.
