Neva’s goals at the 1893 World’s Columbian Exposition in Chicago are simple. Enjoy the spectacle—perhaps the greatest the United States has ever put on (the world’s fair to end all world’s fairs!). Perform in the exposition’s Algerian Theatre to the best of her abilities. And don’t be found out as a witch.

Easy enough … until the morning she looks up in the theatre and sees strangely marked insects swarming a severed hand in the rafters. Before she can scream, the bugs drop and swarm her.

And every one of them seems to have a stinger.

They strike fast—it only takes them a moment to inject her with so much venom that the same strange marks begin to rise on her skin. She’s horrified, but there’s worse to come.

Once the insects disperse, a Columbian Guard notices her rashes and warns that five people with similar sores have been murdered and dismembered.

An eye for an eye is the warrior’s way. And that wretched witch killed his father…

Jaran Saerk lets vengeful wrath guide his blade. As scarred in youth by his dad’s murder as he is by battle now, the much-feared Northman berserker has grown into a master of meting out death. But his latest victim spills more than his dying guts when he reveals clues to the deadly sorceress Jaran vowed to make pay.

Blind to the location of the mist-veiled island housing the treacherous spellcaster, the swordsman allies with both a fire-tongued escaped slave and a cunning thief. But with enemies from former conquests closing in and the conjurer summoning more foes, a fury-filled frenzy may be Jaran’s only deliverance from certain doom.

Can he avenge his tattered family before he joins them in the grave?

Blood Feud is the explosive opening to The Berserker Trilogy.

Coming back to his childhood home as an experienced agent has Hunter seeing things he’d never noticed before. Their latest patient causes a dramatic shift in everything he had thought to be true.

I turned my boyfriend into a vampire and now he won’t return my calls.

I’m operating on a low budget with a broken heart until a client makes me an offer I can’t refuse – go undercover in a sex cult to find his sister. This cleaning lady isn’t interested in getting down and dirty, but I could use the getaway.

At first the cult only seems interested in bringing humans and supes together…in bed. But I quickly discover there’s way more than just group orgies happening here. Despite preaching peace and love, I suspect their real aim is to force their own brand of sexual healing onto the rest of the world.

Complications increase when Nico shows up, worried for my safety. As the attraction that’s been simmering between the two of us threatens to boil over, will Nico and I go all the way to solve the case? Or can I save the day and keep our relationship squeaky clean?
