A deeply flawed one who, at every turn, makes the worst possible decision. Yet somehow, I am still alive, unsupervised, and making it everyone else’s problem. 

Yes, my older brother is always there to lecture me after every hedonistic display of poor judgment. But he drives a Dodge Stratus. I cannot take life advice from a grown man who still has a CD changer in his car.

And yes, my so-close-yet-so-far love interest does call me a “barely functional fetus” when I abuse my powers. Personally, I choose to believe that’s how she talks dirty to me.

Each episode of The Rushes Mixtape is a new reminder that I should not be trusted with supernatural abilities.

None of this should end well.
Spoiler: it never does.

Because with every poor decision, I’m getting dragged deeper into a world I didn’t know existed. A world not actually from this…world. 

There’s no redemption arc here.
No clean exit.

Just me. Shadi. Making it worse.

Trapped and alone, I am terrified I will never see my men again. The broody vampire, the adoring fae, the romantic wolf, and even the detached dragon had weaved their way into my heart. I couldn’t stand to lose them now. I wouldn’t survive it.

The truth has been revealed. I am not fully human, and that curse puts a target on my back. The coven wants me gone. The men need my special birthright to make them stronger. And I must learn how to tap into my magic before the coven finds a way to take them away from me forever.

Caught by Roman’s crew, I am terrified that I traded one lifelong debt for another. Between the arrogant wolf, the mysterious dragon, and the irritating fae assassin, the men of The House of Shadows have monsters brewing inside. They’re ruthless, frustrated, and angry that Roman dragged me into their world.

They seem to hate me, and despite the intense attraction, I don’t trust myself around them. After all, I have a deadly secret of my own. But when my life is threatened and the truth is revealed, the monsters must choose to return me to the coven or become my protectors forever. They intended to punish me. But their protective natures wanted so much more.

Except, old habits die hard. When I discover a murder scene screaming with signs of black magic ritual, I know my days of hiding are over. Any chance I had of escaping my past with my secret intact is gone. Solving the witchkin murders is going to be the hardest case of my life, and not just because every second will torture me with reminders of how much I miss my old life and my partner, who hates my guts for abandoning the department.

But it’s time to suck it up, because if I screw this up, Portland will be wiped out, and I’m not going to let that happen. Hold on to your butts, Portland. Justice is coming, and I don’t take prisoners.

Orion (Ryan) is Drakul, part demon, and a loyal servant of the Order. He doesn’t expect a motorcycle-riding librarian to be messing around with demonic forces, and he doesn’t expect her to smell so damn good. But Ryan’s got bigger problems. His partner has disappeared, and the forces of Darkness are rising. Now Chess is Ryan’s only hope of finding his partner, and Ryan is Chess’s only hope of survival, because the demons now know Chess exists—and that she is the heir to a long-lost power that could push back their dark tide. If Ryan can keep her alive long enough, she just might be the key to destroying the demons completely. But Ryan doesn’t know he’s been betrayed by the very Order he serves. And if Chess does, by some miracle, survive, he won’t ever be able to touch her again

For Riley there is really only one choice.

What would you choose?

Theodora Morgan knows she’s a little strange. Her talent for healing has marked her as different all through a life spent moving from town to town when someone notices her strangeness. Now she has a home, and she doesn’t want to leave-but she’s been found. The Crusade wants her dead because she’s psychic, the Dark wants to feed on her talent, and then there’s Dante. Tall and grim and armed with black-bladed knives, guns, and a sword, he says he’s here to protect her. But what if he’s what Theo needs protection from most?

The Watcher:

Dante is a Watcher, sworn by Circle Lightfall to protect the Lightbringers. His next assignment? Watch over Theo. She doesn’t know she’s a Lightbringer, she doesn’t know she’s surrounded by enemies, and she doesn’t know she’s been marked for death by a bunch of fanatics. He can’t protect her if she doesn’t trust him, but how can she possibly trust a man scarred by murder and warfare-a man who smells like the same Darkness Theo has been running from all her life?
