And when he finds out what he can do he doesn’t believe that’s the only way. And it all has to do with Gretchen...

Nothing stays black and white in a world full of shadows... I'm Alana Mitchell, and for my twentieth birthday, I got a brand-new magical destiny instead of the laptop I was saving for. I'm a witch. I have powers I can't control, enemies I know nothing about and a legacy I can't begin to grasp. There's a whole shadow-world out there waiting to swallow me whole, a world I didn't even know existed until I used my powers and unleashed hell upon my naïve self. I always figured that the first time I'd move in with a man, it'd be my boyfriend, not a bloodthirsty demon with a storm of secrets and his brother, but they're the only ones who can help me. My new roommates are driving me crazy with their I-know-better attitudes, beckoning stares and stupidly handsome faces. I want to hunt the bastards that destroyed my future, but the brothers' past is catching up to us in the form of a smart, bitter, and deadly enemy, one who will stop at nothing to possess me. To survive, I must embrace the darkness simmering inside me. And that darkness is terrifying. Shadow Walker is the first book in a slow-burn urban fantasy/paranormal series filled with action, suspense, angst, and smoking-hot men.

Elves and dwarves, trolls and giants, talking dragons, valkyries and werewolves: all these are familiar in modern movies and commercial fantasy. But where did the concepts come from? Who invented them? Almost two centuries ago, Jacob Grimm assembled what was known about such creatures in his work on 'Teutonic Mythology', which brought together ancient texts such as Beowulf and the Elder Edda with the material found in Grimm's own famous collection of fairy-tales. This collection of essays now updates Grimm, adding much material not known in his time, and also challenges his monolithic interpretations, pointing out the diversity of cultural traditions as well as the continuity of ancient myth.

No one is there to help him fight against the evil inhabitants of this world until he meets a mysterious girl named Rue.
