In the middle of America, Amy Lewis is on her way to her grandma’s house. She's being chased by a very bad wolf. Galaxies away Loki is waking up in a prison cell, strangely without a hangover, and with no idea what he’s done wrong — this time anyway. But he does know Thor is hiding something, Odin is up to something wicked, and there seems to be something he’s forgotten...

In this urban fantasy tale that is equal parts “Dresden Files” and “American Gods,” a very nice midwestern girl and a jaded, mischievous Loki must join forces to outwit gods, elves, magic sniffing cats, and nosy neighbors. If Loki can remember exactly what he’s forgotten and Amy can convince him not to be too distracted by Earthly gadgets, Earthly pleasures, or three day benders, they just might pull it off...

This first installment of "I Bring the Fire" is for anyone who suspects chaos and mischief makers might have their own redeeming qualities, and anyone who just wants a good fantasy romp through modern Earth, ancient Asgard, and beyond!

Some things are only meant to exist in nightmares, but now I know the truth. Vampires are real. And I'm one of them…

When Amelia is trapped in a nightmare and killed at the hungry fangs of a monster, she doesn’t expect to survive. But then she wakes up and everything has changed. Her whole life has been a lie. What she thought he was—human—is nothing more than a disguise she never even knew she was wearing.

Sixteen going-on-forever, Amelia’s violent hunger could quiet a classroom in seconds. It could expose her family and lead to her death. Again. But then she meets Ty, a guy who is strangely familiar and hides a dark and dangerous secret of his own, and everything changes.

But Amelia’s not the only one keeping secrets as her telling dreams turn into warnings. Her destiny has already been decided, and in it, her untimely death is set in stone—along with that of all vampires and shifters. Her survival will come down to help from her best friend, her twin brother, the guy she’s falling for, and the raw and untapped magic that resonates deep inside of her if she can learn to harness the power.

Vampires, shifters, ghosts, and the undead…can Amelia save them from an enemy that is more powerful than all of them combined, or will supernatural life as they know it cease to exist forever?

If you love heroines that kick butt, heartthrob heroes with a bad streak, and villains with motives, then you’ll love the Blood Bound Series. Immerse yourself in a world where Twilight meets Underworld.
