Revenge bites back. I am Lysandra, and my mate and I are out of options. Everything has fallen under Csar Dragomir’s domain. To survive, I must prove myself to a hidden coven of vampires, and rise to become the leader of a rebellion. Valentina has summoned an army of witches against me and cast a curse upon the wolves. If a cure is not found in time, the curse will be the end of the shifters…and the end of Lisar. Can our love withstand its greatest trial yet? Or has our romance doomed what’s left of the pack, and any kingdom that I may claim?

Do you feel like you're drinking too much or using too much, but you don't necessarily want to give it up for good? A powerful alternative to "abstinence-only" approaches, the "harm reduction" model outlined in this evidence-based workbook draws on practices from motivational interviewing (MI) to help you explore your relationship with substance abuse, and find the motivation needed to create an individualized recovery plan.

When you're working with the Roman god of chaos, things can always get worse. Bacchae, the supernatural creatures that spawned vampire lore, are real. For the last several thousand years, they’ve kept to the shadows. UNTIL NOW. When the worst and most powerful of the Bacchae murders someone she loves, graduate student Serafina Finch, now aided by the ancient god Bacchus, sets out on a journey in search of new allies. They must act quickly before Danae, the Bacchae witch claiming to be Queen, figures out a way to restore the Bacchae to their full powers.

I’m the underdog in my own pack, an outcast of the worst kind, and Shane, the cocky alpha heir, doesn’t hide just how much he despises me. Well, the feeling is mutual. But fate tricks the both of us. Shane and I share a mating bond, and there’s no denying temptation.

I’m a witch, shifter, self-proclaimed vampire slayer, and more than a little ticked off. The Soulless took my sister, and I’m determined to find where the elite group of vampires is hiding. But before I can go after her, I get a warning from a high witch. There’s a vamp after a dark and dangerous artifact, one that would allow him to control magic and sell it to the highest bidder. I must pursue him if I hope to survive my sister’s rescue.

So far, women have lost $800 billion in the pandemic. For decades, if not centuries, women have earned 75 cents to the dollar of their male counterparts, with an even bigger gap for women of color. The Science of Getting Rich for Women aims to be an antidote to this global financial gap and a catalyst for women’s financial freedom and empowerment.

I’m Rachel Collins, low witch and raven shifter in hiding. I spend my days tending the cash register at a local magic shop and my nights patrolling the streets for vampires with a death wish. Until the night I spot the mark of the Soulless on some lowly vampire’s wrist. The Soulless answer to Valkas, the original vampire and the most ruthless of them all. They’re the same bloodsuckers who murdered my parents and kidnapped my sister. I want answers—and maybe a little revenge.

I am Lysandra, and I am lost in the woods of Romania. Exiled from my vampire coven and torn from the arms of my mate, I’m searching for the elusive location of the mysterious den of wolves. I made a pact: find Lisar and his pack, or die trying. But the wolves find me. I make a fragile bargain with the pack’s leader. If I become one of them, I will be allowed to live with my mate in peace. Fail, and my execution is imminent.

Kierce sacrificed himself to save Frankie, and now it's her turn to rescue him. Whether he wants her to or not. That means venturing into Abaddon, the land of the dead, and hoping she can locate him within its shadowed depths before Dis Pater notices his favorite toy is missing. But Dis Pater isn't the only deity she has to fear.

I am the only surviving member of the Romanov family, save for my father, and now is my time to rule. My worst enemies are around every corner, hunting for a mystical item that will change the course of the war. Using clues left behind by my ancestor, Princess Anastasia, I must find a way to end this fight for good.

I’ve been kept from the truth all my life. Demons walk the earth, and I’m destined to slay them - I only wish I hadn’t lost someone I loved while discovering that truth. Now the demons are after me. The only way to stay alive is to attend an academy for demon hunters - a school where I’ll learn how to kill supernaturals and slay the underworld’s minions. But I still feel there are secrets I’m not being told....

My abilities have grown beyond imagining, and a dragon’s fire burns inside of me. Unfortunately, that same fire is burning me alive. The only way to save the people I love is to unite my dragon’s power with its missing half, which exists inside my evil father. If we can defeat Paimon, the world will be safe…even if I die in the process of defeating him.

When the god of chaos calls the shots, you can expect Hel on Earth. And maybe hell, too. Almost everything was back to normal: governments had been restored, cities were rebuilding, and the existence of the ancient gods remained a secret. Mostly. Only one thing was left to do: rescue the witches trapped in hell. When Sera discovers the only way in and out of the underworld is to become immortal—the one thing she most definitely does not want to do in life—she must make the decision of a lifetime, an everlasting lifetime.

Matty has lost his soul, and it's up to Frankie to find it before his body gives up the fight for survival. But soon his isn't the only life at risk from the soulless condition. The affliction is spreading from Thunderbolt, Georgia, into the beating heart of the French Quarter and right up to Madam Vionette Fontenot's front door.

The other family business at The Body Shop is slow after word gets out that Frankie had clients die—cease to exist?—on her watch. Considering they were dead to begin with, she understands why the news shook the spirit community's faith in her, but it's a hard hit to her bottom line. When a spirit appears in her office, ready to sign a contract, she's eager to please. Until she learns why he wants to hire her. He heard about her clients' deaths, yes, but he also learned Frankie was instrumental in bringing their killer to justice.

Magic is in a short supply for a half-witch like me, which makes things very difficult when I’m bound by a blood promise to avenge my parents. With no leads left to follow, I make a bargain with a demon for help. Bad decision. The quest the demon sends me on binds me to a vampire named Killian, a half-mad, half-naked monster who hates my guts almost as much as he longs to drink my blood.

Elizabeth Cabot is all business. She knows how to maximize her investments and cut her losses—in both her career and her personal life. So when she discovers that Jack Fairfax has deceived her, she's determined to end their relationship. Putting a stop to their budding romance is easy. But breaking up their business deal will be more difficult. Despite all her efforts, she has no luck disentangling herself from Jack's client company, Excalibur. But the situation becomes even more strained when a new obstacle emerges.

I’m sent on a mission to steal the magic of the most powerful supernatural alive, but on the way, I run into someone I’m certain I’ve met before. The pull I have toward Shane is the strongest feeling I’ve ever had, and with all the lies swarming around me, I don’t know who I can trust.

Shane and I are bonded, but we have to keep our relationship a secret. The pack is still at risk, and our rivals are lurking on our doorstep, waiting to strike against us.
