What reviewers are saying about the BLOOD MAGIC series:★★★★★  “This is a sizzling hot book. The characters are great, the plot races and the writing is great. Humour, magic, crossbows, ferrets, mysterious men – this book has it all. I can’t wait for the rest of the books in this series.” - Amazon reviewer★★★★★  “The main character, Jax, is like if Gin Blanco (of Jennifer Estep’s Elemental Assassins series) and Harry Dresdan (of Jim Butcher’s The Dresdan Files series) had a baby. That is high praise cuz I love Gin and Harry dearly. The HighFire Crown built a world of magic, mythology and mayhem. I am super excited for the next books in the series!” - Jenny B.★★★★★  “Witty, gripping, and leaves you wanting the next book. I found myself laughing often and unable to put it down for long.” - Amazon reviewer less

A van full of handcuffed criminals speeds towards the Dark Tower. What could go wrong? A lot, apparently. Especially when Jax’s assassin happens to be in the vehicle destined for oblivion.  She uses the term ‘assassin’ loosely, of course, because Darick also happens to be a stalker, a spy, a healer mage, and her number one crush. But this is no love story. Sure, there’s a woman being haunted by her dead husband... moreA van full of handcuffed criminals speeds towards the Dark Tower. What could go wrong? A lot, apparently. Especially when Jax’s assassin happens to be in the vehicle destined for oblivion.  She uses the term ‘assassin’ loosely, of course, because Darick also happens to be a stalker, a spy, a healer mage, and her number one crush. But this is no love story. Sure, there’s a woman being haunted by her dead husband. And the new captain of the paranormal special ops force who doesn’t hide his obsession for a certain kick-ass detective of the girl wizard variety. And a magical albino ferret who has a deep and abiding affection for popcorn. (Yes, popcorn. But go easy on the salt.) So: Spells, yes. Explosions, yes. Killer sharks … maybe. And a whole lot of magic, adventure, and mayhem. But this is certainly no love story. *** A breakneck-paced mix of urban fantasy, irreverent humor and detective noir. Fans of The Dresden Files and Jessica Jones will burn through this addictive urban fantasy series. Get it now. less
