Fortune Favors the Cruel (Dark Maji, #1)
Kel Carpenter
Quinn Darkova, freed from the chains of slavery, wants nothing more than vengeance against those who sold her. But with her dark powers on the rise and her ascension nearing, Quinn's blood retribution will have to wait in favor of her immediate survival. Lazarus Fierté is a nobleman without equal. He’s as controlling as he is stubborn, and for the last six years he’s been waiting for a woman to appear—but not just any woman. A Maji of great power, capable of terrible things. She could be the key to everything he holds dear. His savior … or his destroyer. The only thing he didn’t predict was that she would become both.
Blessed be the Wicked (Dark Maji #2)
Kel Carpenter
Some will try to trap her in hopes of harnessing her dark power. Others will seek to end her, deeming it too terrible to risk. In the end, he will destroy them all-because Quinn is his weapon, and he plans to keep it that way.
Lazarus was warned that Quinn's power might be too great, even for him, but nothing prepared him for the truth of it until she held a dagger over him, and he was powerless to stop it. Now at odds with himself, the future king of Norcasta must find a way to regain control of his house and secure an alliance with the Pirate Queen...before fate tips its hand once more, and his carefully laid plans are led astray.
Quinn's loyalty is not easily won, but Lazarus has managed to do it. Now the vassal and right-hand of Lord Fierté, Quinn seeks to gain him an alliance with Ilvas all the while challenging him at every turn. With the Cisean tribes won over, and the blood heirs behind them, Quinn expects this to be an easy task, but soon finds herself entangled in a web of lies.
Forced to gamble with her life-and the lives of her comrades-Quinn must make a choice that will either save or doom them all.
Twisted Is the Crown (Dark Maji #3)
Kel Carpenter
Quinn Darkova made a vow from the very beginning.
And now she’s home.
For revenge . . .
Except N’skara isn’t the same as it was ten years ago, and the person she came for is nowhere to be found. After being taken ashore by armed guards of the same Council they came to sway, Quinn knows it’s up to her to uncover the truth about what really happened, while seeking the retribution owed to her.
Lazarus knew she was hiding something. He knew she had unfinished business in N’skara. But never could he have known this. He hadn’t predicted how set in their ways the people were. He hadn’t listened to the warnings when Quinn spoke of secrets and lies. He hadn’t realized that the woman he couldn’t stay away from was forged as much by blood as she was by darkness.
Now it was time to learn.
In a land of sheep, it pays to be a wolf.
Daizlei Academy Boxset: Completed Series
Kel Carpenter
VAMPIRE ACADEMY meets X-MEN in this completed new adult series! There’s only one rule in the world I come from. Keep our existence a secret. Period. The day my sister broke that rule one too many times, I knew there would be consequences. I expected us to be sent to one of those schools for “troubled” kids—and maybe Daizlei Academy was, in a way. But really, it was far more complicated than that. You see, I thought that world had forgotten me. Forgotten us. For years we were left alone, and one day . . . we weren’t. It was only when I got there that I remembered the second rule: Trust no one. Because in our world? They would kill me if they knew the truth of what I am. Daizlei Academy is a school for Supernaturals. And me? I’m so much more. *This is a New Adult Academy series with slow-burn romance and a strong but flawed heroine. It is labeled New Adult for stronger language and some mature situations. As the heroine ages and grows so does the content of the stories.* This boxset contains: 1. Heir of Shadows 2. Scion of Midnight 3. Queen of Lies 4. Vessel of Destruction
Mate Me (Immortal Vices and Virtues: Shadow Shifter Bonds, #1)
Kel Carpenter
Beauty and the Beast meets Hades and Persephone in this shifter fantasy romance standalone!
A god wants me dead.
My ancestors stole half his soul then imprisoned him in Tartarus, thinking he'd be forgotten. That he could never return.
They were wrong.
The day he rips open a portal between our worlds, my life is over. As the current guardian of his cursed soul, my head is on the chopping block, but there's a snag in his plan. This dark god believes he's my fated mate.
We're not, but he refuses to take no for an answer.
When he kidnaps my cousin, I'm forced to make a deal. To rescue her, I have to spend six months in Tartarus. Pretending to be his mate. His queen.
Saving both our lives means fake dating the king of monsters. The real danger comes when my modern-day Hades makes it clear that he wants not just my life, but my love.
That was never part of the bargain, but with every stolen kiss and forbidden touch—I just might be handing him my heart.
Covet Me (Immortal Vices and Virtues: Her Monstrous Mates, #1)
Kel Carpenter
In our world, power is king, and I'm the ultimate bartering chip.
I’m the daughter of the Don, but my life as a mafia princess is far from a fairytale.
Trapped in a pretty cage, my family clipped my wings so that I can fill the role all princesses are tasked: to marry a prince and secure an alliance. My mob boss father would give anything to gain an edge over the rest of the Supernatural Syndicates in New York—including me.
So my dad makes a deal.
The terms are simple.
Win the election to become the new leader of Earth and Emerald. Win me.
Except . . . I’m not a very good princess and I have no intention of playing nice.
These men want to compete for me? Fine—but no one said I couldn’t compete for myself.
The trials may be deadly, but I've got an ace up my sleeve they won't see coming.
There's just one tiny problem.
Out of nowhere, the very mating call I'd hoped to never experience consumes me, and I go into heat—at the worst time ever.
Talk about a sticky situation.

Reject Me (Immortal Vices and Virtues, #1)
Kel Carpenter
“Markus Del Reyes, I reject you.”
He left me no choice.
I refuse to spend the rest of my life with my childhood bully for a mate. I may be a cursed shifter, incapable of shifting—but I wasn’t desperate.
Not till the Alpha Supreme cast me out of the House of Fire and Fluorite for rejecting his son.
Now I’m packless.
Homeless.
No longer under the protection of my House.
Until the dark vampire king of Blood and Beryl turns his sights on me.
In return for protection from my former House, I have to join his.
But nothing ever comes for free.
He wants something from me, and it’s not my allegiance.
It’s the only way I can survive, but at what cost?
I’ve lost everything for doing what I know is right, but the greatest danger I ever faced was never losing my life … it was opening my cursed heart.

Lucifer's Daughter (Queen of the Damned, #1)
Kel Carpenter
We’ve all heard the story of the Four Horsemen. Harbingers of the apocalypse. Destruction given form. Four of the sexiest—wait no—forget that. You get my point.
So imagine my surprise when I find out everything I’ve ever been told, is a lie.
But we’re getting ahead of ourselves here. Let’s start from the beginning.
My name is Ruby Morningstar. I run a tattoo parlor in Portland with my bestfriend, have a pet raccoon, a crazy ex that stalks me, not to mention this one little thing… I’m a demon. Half-succubus, to be exact. For the last twenty-three years of my life, that’s the story I believed, but on the day a handsome stranger bails me out of jail my world is turned upside down, and suddenly I don’t know who I am anymore.
Because the Four Horsemen aren’t the bringers of the apocalypse.
I am.
Talk about never catching a break.

Kel Carpenter

But unfortunately for me, failure is not an option with these guys.
Combined, they have enough power to end the world—and they will.
Unless I find a way to stop them first.

Touched by Fire (Demons of New Chicago, #1)
Kel Carpenter
For a decade, I’ve hated the supernaturals who owned my world.
I hunted them.
I killed them.
And now, in the most grand twist of fate—I am bonded to one of them.
Oh, the irony.
Being a supernatural bounty hunter isn’t exactly a popular job. But after the magic wars, there aren’t many things a human can do that will put food on the table.
Thankfully anything my right hook can’t handle, my guns can.
Or so I thought.
When a demon summoning runs awry, the being that comes into this world changes everything.
I’m not sure if he’s truly a demon or a god, but one thing I do know is that he’s after me. I’d like to see him try.
I’ve got a promise to fulfill, and I’m not backing down.
The only way out of this is his death or mine, and I’ll do anything to survive.
Even if that means making a deal with the devil.
If you can’t get enough of books by Ella Summers, Annette Marie, Shannon Mayer, Deborah Wilde, K.F. Breene, Jeaniene Frost, Kelly St. Clare, and Linsey Hall then dive right in to the dangerous depths of New Chicago. Beware of headstrong heroines with snark. These ladies don’t bark. They bite.
Black Swan (A Demon's Guide to the Afterlife #3)
Kel Carpenter

Especially when it sets off a series of events that will end the world. You know, the catastrophe I was sent to prevent in the first place.
Fate has a funny way of doing whatever it wants.
In trying to change the future, I’m now the catalyst for destruction.
I should have known it was a bad omen when I shifted into a white raven instead of a wolf.
Our enemies may be more powerful than we ever imagined, but I’ve got a talking crow and Bloody Mary on my side.
I have friends now—and family. Not to mention, one hell of a love life I have no intention of giving up. I would die for any of them, but that’s not the plan.
It’s time to see if I can stop this black swan.
Tick. Tock.

Kel Carpenter
An alpha wolf, a seductive vampire, and a dominant fae all walk into a bar. What do they have in common?
Being mated to me, apparently.

Dark Horse (A Demon's Guide to the Afterlife #1)
Kel Carpenter
My husband killed me.
Instead of spending my immortal Afterlife pissed off and angry, I moved on. I became someone.
Sure, that someone was a demon with the highest track record of reform, AKA punishment, in Hell. But who’s bragging?
I’m right on my way to retirement behind the pearly gates. Everything was going fine . . . until the Risk Witches saw a terrible vision.
Three men. Each scarred in their own way, born with powers that haven’t been seen in eons.
Upper Management sent the best to correct their path. Angels. Poltergeists. Nothing worked.
These men were too stubborn. Too bad. Too untamed...
So they sent me.
Roman. Ezra. Dorian.
Combined, they have enough power to end the world—and they will.
Unless I find a way to stop them first.
Breaking people is my job. But this time...my job might break me.
Kissed by Chaos (Magic Wars: Her Immortal Monsters, #1)
Kel Carpenter
Coming from a powerful line of black witches doesn't mean anything if they've abused you your entire life.
I'm a broken witch.
Born with weak chaos magic, I exist on the fringes of society as a fixer of people and their problems.
Until I tried to save the Devil.
Instead, I accidentally created a blood bond between his soul and mine.
Whoops.
Lucifer whispers filthy promises of all the things he'd do to me if I brought him back, but I won't sacrifice another life to restore his playboy throne.
What’s worse, my ex-fiance won’t stay away.
He broke off our engagement. It was his choice. So why won't he leave me alone?
You'd think I'd have learned not to trust my taste in men by now, but when a one-night stand with a sinfully arrogant stranger turns into something more, the only thing I know for certain is that I'm screwed.
Love almost killed me once, and I'm determined to keep my distance from them.
But as they say... the road to hell was always paved with the best intentions.
Authors' Note: This is a devil(ish) paranormal romance with three possessive love interests that fall first for one strong independent witch. All relationships are completely consensual. This is the second series in the Magic Wars Universe. You do not need to have read Demons of New Chicago to proceed, but there will be spoilers.
Infernal Desires (Queen of the Damned, #3)
Kel Carpenter
ACE for ASIN B07CRSR372
They say there’s no rest for the wicked, and New Orleans never knew how true that was until I came to town.
Nobody told me that when I entered the transition, the very gifts of my demonic lineage would be used against me. Nobody warned me that the flames of Hell would burn from within. Or that I’d be driven to lust and madness, my chaotic magic becoming more wild and unruly than ever before.
The only way to save myself—and the world—was to give the beast what she wanted: control.
As if transitioning wasn’t enough, my presence was now known, and my enemies were mounting. While the beast was intent on claiming our Four Horsemen, there were things to be done. People to find. Demons to kill.
And when they make a deal with the devil—let’s just say that neither world will ever be the same again.
Long live the Queen.
If I can survive becoming immortal, that is.
Hunting Werewolves and Other Bad Dates (Reapers of the Grimm Brotherhood #1)
Kel Carpenter
Dying is supposed to be the end of the line. Not for me, though. I'm just not that lucky.
When my twin brother dies, I return home knowing life will never be the same. I just didn’t expect to die in a supernatural car crash on my way there. Plot twist: I’m not actually dead-dead, and I have no idea why.
As if things aren't confusing enough, my late brother’s bad-tempered and sinfully attractive best friend finds me in the woods in all my recently deceased glory.
He claims that half of my hometown are actually monsters; that people like he and my brother exist to keep them in line, and--cherry on top of this crap sundae--my brother didn't die in an accident.
He was murdered.
Now it's up to me and his brooding best friend to find answers before whoever, or whatever, killed my brother cuts the last branch off my family tree and sends me into the afterlife--permanently.
Wish someone would have prepared me for hunting werewolves and fending off sex vampires, but apparently that’s too much to ask.
The Grimm Brotherhood is a completed series with slow-burn romance and a sassy heroine that tells it like it is. This series contains material intended for mature teens and adults. Fans of Kelly St. Clare, Leia Stone, K.F. Breene, Annette Marie, and Audrey Grey will love this action packed, cupcake-filled adventure!
Reaper Reborn (The Grimm Brotherhood, #3)
Kel Carpenter
Just when I think things are finally starting to calm down, I come face-to-face with my long-lost twin.
Turns out, being a Daughter of Death is a whole lot more than just kicking ass and taking names.
There are things like rules...and responsibilities.
Oh yeah, and let’s not forget the monster that’s killed me in all my past lives. That’s a thing, too.
There’s also this teensy little problem: James may be gone but the distrust he created in the supernatural community is still very much alive. With the tensions between Council members bleeding into Farrow’s Sqaure it’s only a matter of time until someone does something crazy.
Now I gotta figure out what my twin wants, learn about my super badass death powers, kill a monster, and stop a war. Sounds like a piece of cake. Speaking of cake...
This whole thing started over a Hostess cupcake. Do I dare hope it can end with one?
You bet your ass, I do.
This is the last book in the Grimm Brotherhood series. This series must be read in order.
Wicked Games (Queen of the Damned, #2)
Kel Carpenter
So…as it turns out, I really am Lucifer’s Daughter. Hell’s Heir. And—you guessed it—the next Queen of the Damned.
But what if I don’t want to rule?
With the imp in hiding, and Josh gone from this world, I still wasn’t safe. Not by a long shot. Dear ol’ Dad didn’t just pass on his legacy and mark. He also passed on all of Hell’s problems, and that means his enemies, are now mine.
Fortunately for me, I have the Four Horsemen, my banshee best friend, and a pissed off raccoon on my side.
But now I have the beast to contend with. My psychotic, possessive, and downright scary alter-ego was dead set on having the Horsemen, not only at my back, but in my bed. As if learning to control the flames of Hell wasn’t a hard enough job by itself.
Would it have been too hard for Lucifer to write a handbook before he died?
Reaping Havoc (The Grimm Brotherhood, #2)
Kel Carpenter
I found my brother’s murderer, by becoming his next victim.
The asshat killed me, too. But little does he know—I came back. Again.
Now he’s going down.
But before I can destroy him, I need to resolve the little issue of me not dying. That’s twice now I’ve cheated death. Something’s not right.
Graves doesn’t think I’m a reaper, and the ghosts seem to agree with him. They say that I’m different. That I’m more.
All I know is that things are getting real weird in Farrow’s Square and dying is hungry work.
Where’s a truckload of Hostess cupcakes when a girl needs them?
This is the second book in the Grimm Brotherhood series. This series must be read in order.
Vessel of Destruction (Daizlei Academy, #4)
Kel Carpenter
If there is one truth that I hold to in my life, it is that when it rains, it pours.
Perhaps that is why I built myself not for the everyday storms most experience.
But for the hurricanes I have had to learn to withstand.
I know what it is like to feel your heart crack in half like a tree that snaps under too much pressure.
I know the bone-deep, all-consuming, numbness that sets in when the wind and the cold and the water become too much.
I know the desperation that claws under the surface as you try to wait through the night, and hope that come the dawn, the storm has passed.
But perhaps, most importantly, I know how to survive.
Or really, I am too spiteful to die.
Either way, my world is falling apart around me. Death and destruction are knocking on my door. And a storm is coming. One unlike anything we have ever encountered before.
This time it is not Anastasia I will face on the battlefield, but the one who calls to me. The one I cannot face.
This is one storm I don’t know if I will survive . . . or if the price of living is too high.
**This is the final book in Selena's journey. Daizlei Academy is a completed series intended for older teens and adults.**
Bonded by Death (Magic Wars: Her Immortal Monsters #2)
Kel Carpenter
I’m torn between three men that I swore I wouldn’t get involved with. I know it’s wrong, but part of me loves it. Craves it.
Everyone thinks I’m the good girl, but what they don’t see is that my carefully crafted persona is crumbling around me.
My ex taught me that love isn’t sweet, patient, or kind. It’s cruel and it hurts. He’ll do anything for a second chance, but I can’t forget the flames that burned me from the inside out three years ago.
My liar is forbidden, but I’m haunted by his slate blue eyes and wicked mouth. He’s gotten under my skin, and I don’t know how to remove him without tearing my heart apart in the process.
My devil may be bad, but he makes promises that sound so good. I wish I could say he tricked me with honeyed words, but really, I did it to myself. Bonding to him was a mistake, but bargaining with him? It might be my undoing.
My mask is cracked. I’m hanging on by a thread.
We all have weaknesses.
Mine just make me a glutton for punishment.
Note: Bonded by Death is book 2 of 3 in the Her Immortal Monsters trilogy. You can start the story with Kissed by Chaos now!
Reaper's Blood (The Grimm Brotherhood #1)
Kel Carpenter
I died for Hostess cupcakes.
I know. Tragic, right?
Even worse, after I came back I still didn’t get any cupcakes.
What I did get, however, is a six-foot-something reaper with eyes like blue fire to guide me into the world of the supernatural. Which, as it turned out, wasn’t quite like the fairytales little girls are told growing up.
Not only is magic real, more importantly, so are monsters.
And apparently, I’m one of them.
But I’m getting ahead of myself here.
You see, four years ago I left my hometown and swore to never come back.
Now my brother is dead and I have no choice but to go searching for answers. Except finding them isn’t easy when the secret society he belonged to is covering it up.
I gotta find out who killed him while watching my own back, because if I’m not careful I might be next—and this time, there’s no do over. Luckily for me, Mr. Single and Hot as F*ck is determined to help me keep my ass alive.
I’m a lucky, lucky girl.
Some days.

Queen of Lies (Daizlei Academy, #3)
Kel Carpenter
Alternate cover edition of ASIN B07BLRSLDP
Here's the thing about secrets: the only way to keep them between two people is if one of them is dead. If you're not willing to pull the trigger yourself, you best be prepared to have it pulled on you. I learned that lesson the hard way. My ignorance got her killed. Everything I once was died with her. From the ashes, something new was born. Something wicked. My soul was carved out by grief, molded by power, and brought forth from limbo for one reason. Revenge. I'd been down this road before, with Anastasia always one step ahead. I was blind then. I am no longer. The best revenge wasn't instant. It was planned. You studied your enemy, learned every secret they kept, every fear they held, understood them so intimately that you began to pity them. It was then that you struck. I wanted her to suffer. And I would settle for nothing less.
Heir of Shadows (Daizlei Academy, #1)
Kel Carpenter
Alternate cover edition of ASIN B01MSJ5QST

Instead, she finds herself struggling with insanity and the pull of darkness, because, even among her own kind, she’s a prodigy.

Trickster's Hunt (Three Tricksters #1)
Kel Carpenter
This is an alternate cover edition for ASIN:B07CTL4JP7
Have you ever had a feeling like something bad was going to happen?
What about a gut reaction to someone you had never met?
You know what I’m talking about. The times where something just doesn’t feel right so you turn and walk the other way only to find out someone got robbed down the same alley you decided not to turn down.
I get that feeling a lot.
I thought it was normal, I didn’t know it was a warning. I didn’t know it was there to keep me alive. There’s a lot of things I didn’t know, but what I do…it’s got me scared senseless.
Turns out, the Gods are real. Destiny is real. Fate is something that we can’t always control. And me? I’m just a human caught up in a game of the Gods. Except—I’m not. Not really. I’m someone else entirely, according to the three genies who have sworn to protect me. From what?
Well to explain that we’re going to have to go way back to Ancient Egypt. A land of monsters and Gods and wars.
Where do I fit in? Smack bang in the middle by the looks of it.
This is a full-length novel with adult themes and language.
Haunted by Shadows (Demons of New Chicago, #2)
Kel Carpenter
I used to hunt witches. Now I live with one.
To further complicate things, my past as a supernatural bounty hunter doesn’t exactly make me popular in these new circles I’m running in.
Shocker, I know.
Someone wants me dead.
Unfortunately for them, I’m pretty good at keeping myself alive. Not that it stops Ronan from being an alphahole.
He wants me to stay in Nathalie’s apartment and be safe while he handles the threat, all while holding Bree’s future over my head.
Not gonna happen.
To say I’m fucked is an understatement. But I’ve been in worse spots before.
