Hate. Retribution. Revenge. It burns in my veins and keeps me awake at night, hunting Crown City’s streets like the ones who took from me. But it’s not these streets where I want to spill blood. It’s over there, across the bridge. Where the shadows of this world cloak their sick, foul secrets…and where they trade magic for mortal lives. I can’t get across there. Can’t walk in their world. If I could, I’d take this knife and shove it between his ribs. But I doubt I’d find a heart. None of them had hearts. Not their leader, Shrike, or Mojin, the one I see the most, or Honor and Ruin, the ones I don’t see. The ones no one sees. They’re the ones who corrupt. They’re the ones who kill. They’re the ones who took my brother from me… Only I found a way to get to them now. This new seductive club the Wolves opened called Dark City needs mortal women to entrance these beasts and I’m the one they’ll want. The one who hides the truth behind her smile. And a knife against her thigh. Only when I take my chance I’m the one taken instead. But my enemy doesn’t want me dead…they want something else. Something those dark Unseelie eyes promise…and I might never sleep again. Note: Each Mafia Monster series can be read as a stand alone in the same world. There is cross over of your favorite characters to help you understand underlying motivations better, but it's not necessary to read from book one.

“I’m going to kill you,” I promised. “Keep saying that, my little Venatrix,” Mojin urged. “I enjoy the sound of fury on your lips.” Fight. Fight them. Fight this… I’m trapped in an existence deeper than Hell. The need for revenge entwined with lust. It’s all centered on them…the Fae. I attacked with daggers and fists. Swinging a baseball bat when I could. Still they caught every blow. Worse, they pulled me closer, taking me into a place I couldn’t escape. A place that pulsed with Unseelie green. A world of the Fae. Where I lost myself. And found them. But something is crawling from their Unseelie realm into ours. Something powerful, and it’s bringing with it terrifying creatures of the dark. Beasts, the Unseelie call them. Our city is under siege from these infernal creatures. It’s up to us to defend it. All of us. Vampires. Wolves. Fae. And now me. I had the rest of my life planned out, what little there was left of it anyway. Find those responsible for my brother’s death and seek revenge. But the longer I stay with these Fae the more I realize the truth. Maybe we’re all monsters…deep inside.
