[book 1 - out now]
Welcome to the world of Genevieve Taylor.
Genny is a Sidhe, one of the noble fae, and she's unusual, even in present day London where celebrity vampires, eccentric goblins and scheming lesser fae mix freely with the human population.
Genny is a rising star at Spellcrackers.com, where she finds the ‘M’ in magic - and that invariably leads to mischief, malice and - too often - murder. Spellcrackers.com is affiliated to the Witch Council, whose ancient tenets prohibit any contact with vampires. Genny also works as a volunteer at a clinic which treats victims of vampire attacks. Then there's her extra-curricular activity, extracting vulnerable fae lured by the local fang gangs. Genny certainly doesn't want or need any closer involvement with the vampire community.
But in the first novel – THE SWEET SCENT OF BLOOD - when Mr October, one of the hot calendar pin-up vamps, is accused of violently murdering his girlfriend, Genny is called on to repay an old debt and prove his innocence. And that means consorting with some of the sexiest vamps in London!
THE COLD KISS OF DEATH
[book 2] 16th JULY 2009
Genny Taylor works for Spellcrackers.com – Making Magic Safe. But her own life is anything but safe!
Genny’s being haunted by a ghost – but that’s not her only problem. There’s the witch neighbour who wants her evicted. And Finn, her sort-of-Ex – and now her new boss – can’t quite decide whether their relationship is business or pleasure. And then there’s the queue of vamps inviting her to paint the town red; how long before they stop taking no for an answer?
Just when it seems things can’t get any worse, a human friend is murdered using sidhe magic. Determined to hunt down the killer and needing help, she turns to one of London’s most capricious wylde fae and the seductive vampire Malik al-Khan.
And that’s when her life gets even more treacherous.
Now Genny’s the one being hunted, and not just by the police, but by some of London’s most powerful and dangerous supernaturals!
