Clementine Brodeur must untangle her dead mother’s legacy
before the clock runs out.

My name is Clementine and my magic is making me lose sleep.

My two sisters and I have forty-eight hours to find someone our talented mother could not. If we don’t succeed, someone will die.

My magic allows me to see memories the dead leave behind--which forces me to relive the moment my mother was attacked by fae.

I must tell my sisters what I’ve seen, because I know what we need to do.

Except I’m afraid they’re done with my “leap now, look later” escapades.
They’ve had my back for over twenty years. Why wouldn’t they have it now?

Kidnapped to a world of magic, can Dayna Chrissie use forensic science to solve a royal murder…before centaurs and humans plunge headlong to war?

C.S. Lewis meets CSI when Dayna Chrissie, the LAPD’s best crime scene analyst, finds a golden medallion on a body that's been unceremoniously dumped at a construction site. At first, she doesn't think the find’s that unusual. Until that medallion’s enchantment transports her to the magical world of Andeluvia.

Dayna's been summoned out of desperation: Someone’s murdered the king, and if she can’t solve the mystery, human and centaur realms plunge headlong into war! But nobody wants peace when war offers chances for riches and glory. So Dayna ends up with a team of cast-offs: a centaur wizard with father issues, a brash griffin warrior, and the world's unluckiest magical deer.

And the trail leads where she least expects it...back home! When the evidence brings Dayna and her new friends back to Los Angeles, she must use all of her knowledge of forensics in order to solve the case.

The price of failure? A war that will kill millions and devastate Andeluvia.

Hope she works best under pressure.

Reviews of the Fantasy & Forensics Series:

Angel manages the nearly impossible...creating memorable characters in the midst of an intriguing mystery, action, humor and heart. -- JC Andrijeski, USA Today Bestselling Author of the Quentin Black Mystery series

This clever, humorous fantasy springs to life from page one... -- Publisher's Weekly

Fast-paced action and sly wit make Angel's writing irresistible fun. -- Rebecca Moesta, NYT Bestselling co-author of Young Jedi Knights

Q - What makes the Fantasy & Forensics series special?

A – I’ve enjoyed epic sword and sorcery types of fantasy since I was old enough to pick up a paperback. At the same time, I’ve always been a mystery fan – specifically, of those classic thriller or suspense novels that kept you up all night to finish them.

So I wrote the F&F books as a unique mix of the two genres. Crime Scene Analyst Dayna Chrissie has to solve some nefarious wrongdoing in each book using forensic science – but in a world of sorcery and mythical creatures!

Q – Why should readers give these books a try?

A – Because you’ll get to meet a bunch of memorable characters – knights, centaurs, griffins, and magical fey deer – in the midst of intriguing mysteries filled with action, humor and heart. (Yes, I paraphrased one of my earliest reviewers, but I simply can’t put it any better than that.)

Q – Tell us more about series protagonist Dayna Chrissie - what makes her tick?

A – Dayna starts out as that person you always find at the office on a Saturday. She loves solving the mysteries that everyone else has failed to crack.

Over the course of this book and its sequels, Dayna learns that ‘working’ is not the same thing as ‘living’. So she becomes attached to her group of friends, to the point that they become like family. This serves her well as she encounters wizards, dragons, phoenix, demons, wyverns, and unicorns in her later journeys!

Q – Do readers have to read each book in the series in a specific order?

A – Not necessarily! Each novel is self-contained and doesn’t end on a cliffhanger, so you could pick up a book from anywhere in the series and enjoy it.

On the other hand, it’s fun watching Dayna’s friendships and companions grow closer to her over time. There’s also a couple over-arching themes and plots that unfold in the later books. So reading in order might bring its own rewards too.

Raven's never been one for fairy tales, especially not the ones where a mischievous sprite explodes in pink goo, an imp smells of old boots and bong resin, or she ends up with a demon god's tattoos. But in the gritty, magic-soaked twin cities of Dusk and Dawn, fairy tales are very real – and Raven's just been unwillingly cast as the reluctant harbinger of the apocalypse.

As a 'gifted thief' (and a street rat, thank you very much), Raven's used to sticky situations. But a botched heist at the Malachi family manor lands her squarely in a supernatural turf war. With ancient Infernal gods vying for control, a newly awakened Fae royalty planting enchanted trees all over Dusk, and a secret government agency (headed by a detective Raven totally isn't sleeping with) watching her every move, Raven's got a lot on her plate.

Good thing she's got Mia, her sprite-summoning apprentice (whose creatures are as unpredictable as her loyalty), and Caleb, her crime boss father-figure (who always seems to be torturing someone). Together, they'll navigate a world of mind-flaying Fae, sword-wielding zealots in white tracksuits, and deadly magical artifacts like Rowan's Ravenous Maw.

Can Raven survive long enough to figure out who's pulling the strings, stop the world from ending (again), and maybe, just maybe, get these infernal tattoos to stop itching? Or will she discover that being "Ruin Marked" means more than just a really bad day?

Dive into Raven Marked for a snarky, action-packed urban fantasy that will make you question everything you thought you knew about magic, family, and the true meaning of a bad day.

Evie Manieri's Blood's Pride is the first book of The Shattered Kingdoms, an engaging, action-packed, and "highly imaginative" (Kirkus Reviews) series of fantasy novels with epic scope and "the perfect mix of romance, family ties, betrayals, and agonizing dilemmas" (RT Book Reviews).
Rising from their sea-torn ships like vengeful, pale phantoms, the Norlanders laid waste to the Shadar under cover of darkness. They forced the once-peaceful fisher folk into slavery and forged an alliance with their former trading partners, the desert-dwelling Nomas tribe, cutting off any hope of salvation.
Now, two decades after the invasion, a rebellion gathers strength in the dark corridors of the city. A small faction of Shadari have hired the Mongrel, an infamous mercenary, to aid their fledgling uprising—but with her own shadowy ties to the region, she is a frighteningly volatile ally. Has she really come to lead a revolution, or for a more sinister purpose all her own?
Set in a fictional quasi-Medieval Mediterranean region with a strong cast of male and female characters, the series "presents a striking world with civilizations similar to those of the Vikings and the nomadic cultures of the Middle East, and with the Mediterranean sensibilities of the ancient Greeks. Her characters are passionate and memorable, lending a personal touch to a complex tale of clashing cultures and philosophies. Fans of Sharon Shinn, Elspeth Cooper, and Gail Z. Martin should enjoy Manieri's approach to culture and drama." (Library Journal, starred review)

A jilted ex. An undead army. Never date the damned ...

Zola thought not seeing her ex-boyfriend Philip for 150 years meant he got the hint that they were over. Or, better yet, that he had taken her advice and dropped dead. No such luck. Not only is he back, he has kidnapped Zola and is using her as a pawn in his plan to raise an army to scour humanity from the earth.

Damian Vesik is ready to take Philip on, but he won’t be doing it alone. Flanked by a pack of snarling and snapping werewolves, they are headed to an old battlefield at Stones River to put an end to Philip’s twisted agenda. If they don’t get there in time, however, Zola’s reputation—and life—hang in the balance.
