A Frost Untimely - Blackstone Witches

My mom told me I was meant for greater things. I knew she meant in a magical sense. Being the middle child of three, born into a family whose Witchy-ness harkened back to the Salem Trials, sometimes the prospects of greatness seemed limited. I'm pretty sure when I married a Cowen, their expectations plummeted. Nearly twenty years later, in my CRV with a few suitcases and my cat, Pyewacket, I was over forty, divorced, daughter in college, no job, and no idea what to do with myself as I drove from Florida to Delaware to live with my best friend. Apparently my greater thing-twenty years later-is to bring magic back into the world. Angels (Elohim) don't want that to happen. Luckily I have my best friend's coven on my side, the last of the Fallen, and the Night Shades. In the other corner? Angels and Werewolves. Wings, claws, and teeth. Oof. Maybe I should have stayed in Florida.

Mabon Hollow - Ravenwood Hills, #1

Never make a deal with a Faerie. You won't make it out alive. Of all the races in this world, the most treacherous is the Faerie. They claim to never lie, and yet when it comes to deceit and trickery, they are at the top of their game. An old proverb says never make a deal with a dragon. I have never met a dragon, but I would trust its word more than I would trust that of a Fae. And yet I foolishly signed a contract with one. Silly me.

Native Soil - Discord & Rhyme, #1

In the enchanting heart of New Orleans, amidst the sultry humidity and the secrets that dance like shadows on the bayou, -- Ugh. Enough of that. Don't know why I thought I needed to make this so flowery. So, it's like this, I'm Janet Harper, Arden Vervain's niece. Who's that? The self proclaimed Witch Queen of New Orleans and the holder of a vast magical legacy. And for some reason--she made me her heir. Me. An Earth Witch (and Nature) from small town Georgia. I'm not interested in this legacy. What I am interested in is meeting a lot of Witches who might know how to kill The Reaper. Yes. I want to kill Death. Now don't look at me like that. The Reaper killed my best friend when I was twelve and I want her back. Her death was unjust, and her life wasn't his to take. No one believes me because everyone is stressed about this grand gathering of dignitaries from the Southern Parliament, all descending on New Orleans to celebrate...me. Something is leaving lifeless bodies with imprisoned souls in its wake. With every victim, the Reaper's presence grows stronger, and the city's enchantment wanes.
