Cat Fantasy

Sixteen-year-old Whisper, who has a cleft palate, lives in an encampment with three other young rejects and their caregiver, Nathanael.

When she dies, she leaves Whisper a violin, which Nathanael teaches her to play. Whisper’s father comes to claim her, and she becomes his house slave, her disfigurement hidden by a black veil.

Ali and her parents have moved at least once a year for as long as Ali can remember. She’s attended six different schools, lived in dozens of apartments, and never really felt at home anywhere.

Ali wants to believe it will be their last move, but everything seems too perfect to be true.

Camille has exhausted the last of her nine lives. Under strict cat law, she must depart this earth for the eternal tenth life. Pioline and Poulet, her eight-week-old kittens, are left behind.

Earth died, but even in death she’s still got a lot to offer. She’s not going to hand those gifts over easily, though.

The room turned a crimson red. "Waait…his time is not near…Waait." Whispered the echoing voice of a woman unseen. Sarah had been hearing it ever since her father began abusing her and now wanting nothing more than to kill him for what he is doing, it would be the mysterious voice having her waiting until it is seemingly too late. Now the man she wants dead more than anything in this world is gone. Abandoned and left to fend on her own.

College is supposed to be a time of discovery, but Danielle Vaughn never imagined it would be like this: Heightened senses, supernatural powers, and a sudden craving for human blood. Dani is a demi-vamp, the daughter of a human psychic and a vampire noble, a living secret kept hidden for 21 years. As Dani’s heritage manifests itself, her thirst for blood is matched only by her hunger for Chase Diedrick.

Is the conspiracy unraveling, or is it spinning itself into a more dangerous web? That becomes the constant question as Damien Stone and his crew are caught in a race against time. Old alliances are tested as new rivalries grow into something neither side expected. Friend or foe? Ally or double agent? The lines become blurred as the crew are pulled deeper into the intrigue. Has Damien really learned his lesson? Or is he just making the same mistakes in new ways and putting his trust in those who will hurt him? There’s only one way to find out.

Dante Slate struck down those who wronged him and revealed a far more sinister conspiracy in the process. This new evil is not something he can face alone, so it is time to rebuild. This time he’s going to do it right. Three new apprentices come under Dante’s tutelage. With the help of Nasreen, he plans to see them join him in his efforts to root out the corruption that tried to claim him as a casualty. But they have to be more than just a means to an end … don’t they?

Revenge may be a dish best served cold, but things are heating up for Dante—and they don’t look like they are settling down anytime soon. He’s dug deeper and deeper in his pursuit of justice, and he’s had to push himself harder and farther to stay one step ahead. How far will he go? How far is too far? The enemies he’s pursuing are powerful, ruthless, and motivated to see their interests take priority over the needs of everyone else.
