Blood Magic

2017

An alternate cover for this ASIN can be found here. Turned into a vampire at the age of two, Alyssa has spent the last 14 years pretending to be human in a society who hates "Abnormals" like her. She's done just fine gossiping with the other girls, wearing pink, and becoming an expert sword fighter in order to vent her killer instincts. But then the Mage Xavier shows up at her school and introduces her to a whole other reality under her feet—Abnormals Underground, an entire society of supernatural beings hiding under the city of Cumberland. Alyssa can ignore his pleas for her to join them as a warrior—for about two hours. When her father goes missing, Alyssa will have no choice but to become a part of the world she's fought to avoid her entire life if she's to get him back from the mayor of Cumberland. That wouldn't be so hard, except that it turns out he's a demon bent on world domination. But joining Abnormals Underground means more than just facing her true nature. Alyssa will have no choice but to draw close to Xavier and share his magic if she's to have any hope of rescuing her father. Both she and Xavier hold secrets, and Alyssa has only begun to discover that she's far more Abnormal than she thought... Blood Magic is the first book of the Abnormals Underground series. It is a teen urban fantasy with plenty of action, a strong heroine, and of course, teen angst.

Fire Magic

2017

Alyssa's a rare mix of supernatural according to Thoreau, the demonic mayor, and she was every reason to believe him. She's already got a rare gene that turned her into a vampire and now her enemies burn from the inside out whenever she stabs them. On top of that, biting her hot Mage battle partner, Xavier, will strengthen them both and bring her one step closer to becoming the "Dark Pentagram," who will merge Earth with the Infernal world. Therefore, it's best to stay out of Thoreau's clutches unless she wants to see Hell on Earth. But then Thoreau steals the secret to destroying the Underground, the society of supernaturals that Alyssa now calls home, she and Xavier have no choice but to go after him. Demons? No problem. Crossing the world? No sweat. Finding out whether or not Xavier likes her? That's tricky, along with learning where her strange powers came from. But none of that compares to her growing thirst for Xavier's blood, a thirst she may not be able to resist. Alyssa just might have to become the monster she's vowed never to be...

Death Magic

2017

Alyssa is now faced with an impossible choice. Save her battle partner and her love, Xavier, or save the world. After defeating the Thoreau and the dragon Gaozu in Turkey's most ancient ruins, Alyssa and Xavier return to Cumberland with nothing left to do but to rescue their parents from the dreaded Infernal Dimension. But not only is Thoreau, the demonic mayor, a lot less defeated that the two of them hoped, there is something terribly, terribly wrong with Xavier. Alyssa's always dismissed him as confusing and moody, especially since he's just pushed her away AGAIN—but when Xavier goes over the edge and sinks into a despair that makes him helpless, it's clear to Alyssa there's more than teen angst at work. Xavier's kept a little secret from Alyssa this whole time. He's cursed to turn into a horrible creature soon and only Alyssa, who is descended from the most powerful Abnormals ever to live, can save him from his past. Easy, right? NOPE. Saving Xavier means that Alyssa must go to Thoreau and let him awaken another terrifying part of her, a part from a distant and terrifying relative she has no interest in meeting. And if that happens, she's one step closer to becoming the being who can help Thoreau enslave the world. Things are bad enough now that Alyssa is a vampire with a fire magic. This will make Alyssa even less normal. It will make her face the fact that she may be the most horrible monster ever to live. And it may force her to give up the chance to have anything close to a Normal life ever again. It's an impossible choice. Death Magic is the third book of the Abnormals Underground series, a young adult urban fantasy with vampires, shifters, mages, demons and other creatures of the night. It is the third book of what will likely be a five-book series.

Vile Magic

2017

Alyssa has just done what Thoreau wanted by waking up the Death Magic inside of her—and Xavier's not happy about it. But that's the least of their problems. Now that Thoreau shares a body with the former leader of the Underground, he now knows where she and her friends are hiding and the days of the Underground are numbered. As he closes in, Alyssa and Xavier now have no choice but to find a way into the Infernal Dimension to rescue their comrades, but the price might be too high. By saving her father, Alyssa may be forced to awaken yet another terrifying piece of herself, one that will bring Thoreau that much closer to ending the world.

Demon Magic

2017

This is the fifth and final book of the Abnormals Underground series. Alyssa is now only one step from becoming the Dark Pentagram, the being the demon Thoreau will use to merge Earth with the Infernal Dimension, and she's seriously freaking out. Since she has the touch of Death, the fire of a dragon, deadly War Magic, and the curse of having to drink blood, Alyssa's done her fair share of bad things lately. It really puts a damper on the fact that she and Xavier are finally free to be a real couple. The worst is yet to come. The most horrible part of Alyssa remains to be awakened, and it's darker than anything she's faced so far. She vows to avoid it at all costs. As if. When she and Xavier learn that Thoreau has enslaved the only beings in the world capable of killing him, there's no choice left—Alyssa must venture into the Infernal Dimension to free them and save the world. But doing so will awaken the darkest part of her, completing the Dark Pentagram, and it just might rip Alyssa and Xavier apart and destroy everything she knows.

In short, she doesn't feel any better than the useless human she once was. But when an error she makes gets her werewolf cousin captured by the ATC and dragged to the facility that Bathory is planning to attack in a few days, Janine has no choice but to try the dumbest thing yet: the only way inside is to turn herself in. Janine's the only one for the job with her enhanced senses and strength. And it's the only hope of stopping Bathory from building a powerful army and turning the city of Cumberland into a blood farm. Secrets will be revealed. Pain will be unmasked. And the danger will be higher than ever. This is the second book of Janine's Story and the seventh book of the Abnormals Underground series.

Freed By Blood

2018

This is the eighth Abnormals Underground book and the third book in Janine's Story. After narrowly escaping the ATC facility and discovering a shocking truth about her past, Janine's getting terrified of, well, everything. Not only is her mother about to find out she's a vampire, but Bathory is on the march, forcing the military to her side. Soon, she's going to march into the city and end Janine along with almost everyone else. And her new crush, Brendan, is still tricky to figure out. And the only hope of stopping her might be the man she just rescued, Richard Grimes, Head of the Abnormal Treatment Centers and supernatural-hater by default. But is he? It turns out Janine's former enemy is not as simple as he seems, but waking him will force Janine to face her deepest fears of not measuring up. Time is running out. Can Janine face the dark and save the City of Cumberland? The Abnormals Underground series is a young adult urban fantasy series suitable for ages 13 and up. While Books 6-8, Janine's Story, can be read alone, they would be best enjoyed after reading Books 1-5 of the series, beginning with Blood Magic.
