Fabulous superpowers? Check. Strong urge to right wrongs and bring villains to justice? Check. Impulse control problems? Check. Your girl's got a brand new job. And Washington DC does not know what’s going to hit it. Okay, I might be seriously under-qualified for the job of Enforcer, I'll admit. The Enforcer is supposed to be a human, for starters. It's usually an ex-special forces guy with big muscles and even bigger balls, and a knack for sorting out petty squabbles between the witches and vampires and shifters in the city. And I'm just a technically-dead nail tech – an animated skeleton with a talent for illusion magic and gold gel manicures. But I've recently discovered that I can manifest some pretty big muscles of my own. I've already got the big balls, so I'm halfway there. It's the 'sorting out petty squabbles' part that I might have trouble with. I'm usually the one to start the fights, not finish them. But a girl has got to grow up sometime. My first job is finding a missing person – a half-pixie girl vanished from her home a week ago, and if she doesn't surface soon, the local Fae diplomat is going to raise Hell. Her uncle is blaming vampires, her boyfriend is pointing the finger at the local shifters. The clock is ticking. I'm determined to find her alive, and prove to the supes of DC that I've got what it takes to keep this town on the straight-and-narrow.

Having just escaped the clutches of her manipulative and abusive husband, Sandy's finally settling into her new life in D.C. She's got the perfect job, perfect friends, and the perfect home. Oh, and a perfectly bloodthirsty vengeance demon sharing her body, but Sandy's doing an amazing job in keeping that little secret to herself. But it's going to be a secret she'll struggle to keep. A dark force is rising in Washington D.C. – a shadowy figure his followers call Lord Seth. Rogue vampires, evil magic-users and disenfranchised shifters are flocking to him, lured by his promises of power and justice, stoked by their violent misogyny. They call themselves the Blood Kings. When Prue's niece's best friend is discovered comatose, unable to be woken after a wild sorority party, Sandy is determined to figure out what happened to her. Another victim surfaces, then another, and the brutally hot Detective Conrad Sinclair reluctantly asks for her help to figure out what is happening to these girls, and why they can't be woken. They're going undercover, hitting the party scene of Georgetown, to gather information and find out who is drugging these girls. Sinclair is a little nervous about putting Sandy in danger. Sandy is nervous that she'll eat someone's liver. Can she keep Mavka a secret? Or will Sinclair find out, and feel honour-bound as the Enforcer to destroy her?

A mysterious supernatural assassin is loose in D.C. – a man made of marble, hell-bent on murdering the most popular senator the country has seen in years. Can Sandy and Sinclair stop him in time before he unleashes complete chaos on the world? And will they finally be able to go on a normal date, without Sandy's bloodthirsty man-eating demon making an appearance like some sort of homicidal third wheel? Yeah. Probably not.

How can you catch a monster when you're running for your life? Conrad and Sandy are on the run, framed for every single vicious murder Lord Seth has ever committed. Not only are they being hunted by both the human police and some bloodthirsty rogue supernaturals, they're forced to watch while Lord Seth gains the hearts and minds of the masses during his election campaign. With the power of spin and suggestion, he's got the whole country thinking it would be a great idea if women's rights were dialled right back to the caveman days. But when Sandy finds out who Lord Seth really is... she might have a chance to pull the human world back from the brink of total chaos. The final instalment in the Foils and Fury Series.

Unfortunately for her, there’s a delinquent psychic kid, a dangerously hot Vampire King, and a power-crazed blood witch hell-bent on bringing about the apocalypse standing in her way.

To save Audrina and the stones, Susan needs to take the Fae Company to dangerous places they've never gone before - namely, through TSA to get on an economy flight to Wisconsin.

Getting possessed by a demon wasn’t on my to-do list. I was just too busy for that sort of thing. I had a fifty-hour work week, a hellraiser of a toddler, debilitating morning sickness and a husband who thought his only job was taking out the trash. I was at breaking point. I don’t remember being possessed, or attacking Terry, or my local priest pulling the demon out of me and trapping her in a banana (with the help of a stranger, a badass girl who apparently wrangled supernatural creatures for a living.) But the aftermath was wild. Terry promised he’d try harder, and give me more support. He lied. And I broke. So… I ate the banana. I absorbed the vengeance demon. She’s a part of me now, sharing my body; we’re like two people in a car. Most of the time, I’m driving. Sometimes, I let her take the wheel. She’s the rage of wronged women; the vengeance of the vulnerable, wild justice for the oppressed. She can hear bad thoughts, she can sense evil intentions. She can tell when someone wants to abuse their power, and she whispers their secrets to me. She also eats the internal organs of evil people… which is a little awkward, since I’m a vegetarian. Her methods might be a little blunt. And bloodthirsty. But she’s definitely got my back, and I need her help right now. My best friend is being blackmailed. Someone’s gotten hold of Chloe’s nudes, and is threatening to send them to her whole contact list. Together, me and my vengeance demon need to find who did this, and help bring him to justice. Hopefully, my kind of justice. The kind involving the police and a courtroom. Not the kind where I’m picking gristle and sinew out of my teeth for a week. But you never know…

Nothing ruins your day more than a bloated, stinking corpse on your doorstep. My natural optimism has taken a serious beating lately.

There’s one thing I desperately need, and that’s funding. But there’s no money to be had. Nobody wants to invest in these kids; it’s enough to break your heart. The rejection letters are ruining my morning, and that’s before I slipped on the bloated corpse at the bottom of my step. Things take a turn when I’m summoned to the Jupiter mansion to have tea with Mina, the matriarch of the Jupiter coven — my ex-boyfriend's mom. She’s offering me exactly what I need.
