An ordinary evening for this private investigator, except for the vampire. I didn't realize he was a vampire, because as far as I knew, those sorts of things did not exist. How wrong I was! No time to wrap my head around the whole 'Vampires are real' thing, because apparently one of them wants to have me for dinner, and I mean that in the most literal way. My unlikely protectors are natural enemies and could kill one another at any moment. And they're supposed to save me from a monster who's evaded capture for centuries? My number one priority is protecting the people I care about from becoming collateral damage. And that will be impossible enough without tripping over my frustratingly attractive bodyguards who insist on shadowing my every move. How does an ordinary woman survive games played by beautiful monsters without becoming one? ***If you love realistic heroines, strong, a bit of humor, tension, enemies-to-lovers, and a soft heat then this is the series for you.

I used to be a hero. Then I grew up.

I’m Kieran Thorne, the world’s only living half-fae. The gig comes with a few perks—immortality, magic I can’t control, fae assassins constantly on my heels. And the chance to protect the good and the powerless against those who are neither.

For hundreds of years, that’s what I did. Until I got tired of the humans I saved repaying me by burning me at the stake or shooting me in the heart. I traded in my white hat for a mansion on the beach, and started living by a new creed: look out for myself, and let the humans solve their own problems.

But now Winter fae are going missing, and someone has planted a trail of evidence leading right to my door. I have two choices: let Queen Mab’s feral enforcer carve me to bits, or help her find the real culprit.

Looks like I’m back in the hero business. But this time, I’ll remember the lesson it cost me so much to learn:

There are no good people in this world, and no righteous causes. Humanity is corrupt. The fae are cruel and vicious. Me? I’m a little of both.

One final chance to make it right, the thin red line of humanity against the evil that ...
