Ferryl Shayde – Book 7 – A Witch Snitch

About Ferryl Shayde – Book 7 – A Witch Snitch

The Tavern is healing after Isabel, but Abel still can’t solve the puzzle of the magical woodland walk, and until he does, he won’t get any nearer the mysterious Gryphon at the centre of Castle House. At least a mystery something draining protection glyphs, and Rachel’s campaign for a Life-spark companion, take his mind off his birthday and magical inheritance. Though he can’t avoid it, and then the inheritance is like most things magical; huge, frightening, not quite what he expected and not totally under his control.

Abel needs time and peace but a magical creature traps Kelis, one that frightens even strong sorcerers and should be extinct. The Taverneers are still recovering from that when their enemies send an assassin. A Hellhound gate-crashes Rob’s biggest ever practical joke and gotcha, and the accepted solution doesn’t banish it, leaving the Tavereers fighting for their lives.

A mix of drained magic and plotting has Abel and the Taverneers on the defensive and even with a bloody-handed, scarlet cloaked sorceress descending on the battlefield, it may not be enough.

About Bloody Hell: A Dark Urban Fantasy Story (The Legacy of a Vampire Witch Book 1)

Because you can’t stake a heartless vampire…

They tried to cut out my heart. But before I was a vampire, I was a witch.

They couldn’t get rid of me that easily.

It had been almost a century and a half since I last encountered anyone from the Order of the Morning Dawn.

They were religious fundamentalists with the dual goal of eliminating vampires and witches.

Being both a vampire and a witch I was the embodiment of everything the Order hates.

Their first attempt to eliminate me failed. But they’re coming for me again. They’ve found a way to eliminate me once and for all.

Can I thwart the Order a second time ?

I only have one chance, one way to stop them and save my own vampiric life.

I have to go to bloody hell.

Meet Mercy Brown. She’s a vampire. She’s a witch. Don’t let her name fool you. She’s merciless. Bloody Hell is the first book in Theophilus Monroe’s Legacy of a Vampire Witch series. Fan’s of Anne Rice’s Vampire Chonicles, or the Sookie Stackhouse series (True Blood) will appreciate Monroe’s revival of the conflicted, broody, and mysterious vampire.

Broomstick

About Broomstick

I used to not believe in witches.

Until I enrolled in Dr. Alondra Johansen’s metaphysical history class. Bryce, Alondra’s super cute teaching assistant, told me my element sign is Earth. I am, in fact, a pragmatic sort of girl. My name is Cadence Hawthorne, but you can call me Katie.

Darkness fell over me and my family during my sophomore year. I thought maybe Alondra could help me with my grief and visions of ghosts. But there was this guy working with her, with a goatee and sardonic smile, who looked more like the devil than a professor. He did terrible things to my best friend, threatening my growing love for Bryce.

Do you believe in ghosts? How ‘bout witches? I do. See, it was at Hawthorne University that I learned all about them. Come take a look in my grimoire. I wrote it all down here in Broomstick.

Broomstick is available on sale for $0.99 this week!
