Kidnapping Phoenixes And Other Ways To Die

When I was dead, all I wanted was to be alive. Now that I'm human again, all I want to do is die. Being alive is tough. Especially after three hundred years of being a vampire. But now that I'm human again, I've decided to do what any nineteen-year-old human girl does: go to university. I thought it would be a breeze. After all, how many other students have the kind of life experience I have? Everything was going great (well, not great. I did embarrass myself in front of the campus heart-throb), until the only real friend I made was murdered. And not just murdered--ritually sacrificed. And here I thought college would offer me the "typical human experience." Looks like I'm going to have to dust off my vampire huntress skills and test them out in a human body. My name is Katrina Darling--ex-vampire, re-human-ated university student and totally pissed off.

The main character is an ex- vampire trying to figure out how to be human again. So she's pretty special ... as is the series' setting. Mortality Bites is set in an unique universe where all mythical creatures from all religions (dead and alive) are living on modern-day Earth ... out in the open for everyone to see. My hero's roommate is a fae changeling and her best friend is a shifter ... an ex- werehyena to be exact. So, with setting and characters established, I twist them together like a party balloon, before putting them into a pressure cooker just to see what happens. That recipe makes for some really fun, kick-ass urban fantasy stories. Q: Where did the GoneGod World come from? A: Missing Buffy the Vampire Slayer ... But seriously, in most urban fantasies the supernatural elements happen behind the veil. I thought, 'What if everything was out in the open? What would happen then?' So, with that in mind, I combined all the elements I love in great storytelling - quirky dialogue, fast-paced plots, humor and insanely bizarre situations - with all the stuff I love to read about - myths, gods, heroes, epic fantasies - to create the GoneGod World. Q: Do you have any other books? A: I do! I also write the Keep Evolving series. It is set in the same universe, but in a different time period and with another hero altogether. It's also a bit darker and more Dresden Files -like ... Here is a list of the books available in that series - * GoneGod World - available now! * Keep Evolving - available now! * CrystalDreams - available now!

In the heart-stopping finale to the Crown of Feathers trilogy, which #1 New York Times bestselling author Kendare Blake calls “absolutely unforgettable,” Veronyka must face her most devastating enemy yet: her own sister. I had a sister, once… ​Veronyka is no longer an orphaned stable boy or a nameless Phoenix Rider apprentice: she is the daughter of Pheronia Ashfire, the last queen of the Golden Empire…and the niece of Avalkyra Ashfire, the resurrected rebel queen who tore the empire apart. We shone brightly, burned fiercely. Now that the secret is out, everyone at the Eyrie treats Veronyka differently, and with Tristan still a hostage of the scheming Lord Rolan—and Sev with him as a spy—Veronyka feels very much alone. Except for her beloved phoenix, Xephyra, of course, and her new friend, Kade, who has his own reasons for wanting to save Tristan. Was it always going to come down to this? Sister against sister? Darkness against light? Veronyka is determined to do whatever it takes to get Tristan back, even if that means revealing her identity to the world and inheriting a throne she’s not sure she wants. But when she discovers that Avalkyra has bonded with a strix—a legendary creature of darkness that feeds off the life force of others—Veronyka realizes she has more to deal with than an encroaching war with the empire. Val is willing to destroy everything to get her revenge on a world that rejected her, and if Veronyka wants to bring peace to the empire and Pyra alike, she must face down her sister once and for all. The world began with Ashfire queens…perhaps they will also be its destruction.

One of Vogue's Best Books of 2022 So Far, Buzzfeed's Summer Books You Won’t Be Able To Put Down, Book Riot's Best Summer Reads for 2022, and Dazed's Queer Books to Read in 2022 "[Nevada] is defiant, terse, not quite cynical, sometimes flip, addressed to people who think they know. It is, if you like, punk rock." —The New Yorker "Nevada is a book that changed my life: it shaped both my worldview and personhood, making me the writer I am. And it did so by the oldest of methods, by telling a wise, hilarious, and gripping story." —Torrey Peters, author of Detransition, Baby A beloved and blistering cult classic and finalist for the Lambda Literary Award for Transgender Fiction finally back in print, Nevada follows a disaffected trans woman as she embarks on a cross-country road trip. Maria Griffiths is almost thirty and works at a used bookstore in New York City while trying to stay true to her punk values. She’s in love with her bike but not with her girlfriend, Steph. She takes random pills and drinks more than is good for her, but doesn’t inject anything except, when she remembers, estrogen, because she’s trans. Everything is mostly fine until Maria and Steph break up, sending Maria into a tailspin, and then onto a cross-country trek in the car she steals from Steph. She ends up in the backwater town of Star City, Nevada, where she meets James, who is probably but not certainly trans, and who reminds Maria of her younger self. As Maria finds herself in the awkward position of trans role model, she realizes that she could become James’s savior—or his downfall. One of the most beloved cult novels of our time and a landmark of trans literature, Imogen Binnie’s Nevada is a blistering, heartfelt, and evergreen coming-of-age story, and a punk-smeared excavation of marginalized life under capitalism. Guided by an instantly memorable, terminally self-aware protagonist—and back in print featuring a new afterword by the author—Nevada is the great American road novel flipped on its head for a new generation.

But her fragile peace is threatened by the discovery of a strange magic on the moon and the unsettling changes in the Celestial Kingdom as the emperor tightens his grip on power. While Xingyin is determined to keep clear of the rising danger, the discovery of a shocking truth spurs her into a perilous confrontation. Forced to flee her home once more, Xingyin and her companions venture to unexplored lands of the Immortal Realm, encountering legendary creatures and shrewd monarchs, beloved friends and bitter adversaries. With alliances shifting quicker than the tides, Xingyin has to overcome past grudges and enmities to forge a new path forward, seeking aid where she never imagined she would. As an unspeakable terror sweeps across the realm, Xingyin must uncover the truth of her heart and claw her way through devastation—to rise against this evil before it destroys everything she holds dear, and the worlds she has grown to love . . . even if doing so demands the greatest price of all.

First the gods left. Then the Others came. When the gods ditched Earth, the displaced mythical creatures from heaven and hell ended up at my doorstep. To keep my business afloat, I've been forced to handle the dramas of folklore and fairytale creatures who are way out of their element. To say these succubi, poltergeists, and angels are out of touch with the mortal way of life would be an understatement. But preparing my new tenants for the real world is just the start of my problems. An ominous monster has been terrorizing the night and the creature's bloody deeds are exhuming a past best left dead and buried. I guess sometimes the dead don't want to stay buried and the past will dig itself out of a cold grave just to kick you in the nuts. My name is Jean-Luc Matthias and if I want to save my business, protect my legendary tenants, stop the monster and ... oh yeah ... stop the apocalypse from happening again, then I guess I'd better pull up my big-boy pants and get to work.
