A Clockwork Siren Series Spinoff WHAT IF YOU WERE MEANT TO BE SOMETHING ELSE? Chicago is a muddy, monster-infested city, home to the both the penniless and the filthy rich. Levi Cannon is among the latter, but he doesn’t quite fit the mold of the upper class. His reputation says it all—from unsuitable women to unseemly weapons to an inappropriate attitude toward the family business. Worse, he secretly wants to hunt monsters, an occupation filled by lowlifes, outlaws, and bums. His brother, Amos, has always been the respectable one, and Levi’s father won’t let him forget it. It seems no matter what Levi does, he’ll never win his father’s favor. When Amos is taken by sirens, Levi has reason to worry; these water-creatures devour men’s tongues to make their song sweet. Levi is suddenly thrust into the spotlight, giving him a chance to become the man his father wants him to be. The question is, will Levi do what is proper, or what is right?

Lure it out. Catch it. Kill it. Melusine Doré knows exactly how to handle monsters. Love, however, is another matter. Though she is doing her best to live her happily ever after, Melusine begins to doubt Levi’s devotion and worries the curse that once made her a siren will return. When Melusine and Levi go hunt a beast down South, Melusine’s deepest fear becomes a reality as she finds herself in exactly the place where all her troubles began: home. There, Melusine must face the dark secrets and lies of her family’s past—and the very real possibility that she is more monster than maiden. Novella number two in the Immersed series, Submerged by Katie Hayoz takes us from the muddy trenches of steampunk Chicago to the sticky swamps of Louisiana to the slippery side of love.

What if love meant exposing your darkest secret to the world? Melusine Doré, monster hunter extraordinaire, has finally figured out what she is: half lethal mermaid, half-human…and completely in love. She’s doing her best to live her happily-ever-after. It seems, for once, that nothing will destroy her fairy-tale ending. Fellow hunter Levi Cannon loves her for who (and what) she is and the two of them have been able to hide her tails from the world. But when she and Levi discover that someone is trapping and torturing monsters, they're led on a journey to a traveling freak show. A simple investigation quickly turns into a tangled mess and the hard-won happiness the couple has earned begins to crumble. Levi goes missing and Melusine must tap into all her unusual talents to find and rescue her lover. This time though, Melusine won't be the deadliest fish in the sea. It seems the demons, or, in her case—monsters—from her past, are angry and unwilling to let go. Adventure number three in the Clockwork Siren Series, Surfaced by Katie Hayoz brings much more than clowns to the fading tents of this steampunk traveling circus. Despite the danger, Melusine and Levi prove that the show must go on.
