What is evil? Is it something supernatural that seeps into our world… or something far more human, lurking just beneath the surface?In The Evil Edition, Kevin J. Kennedy assembles a relentless collection of dark tales that blur the line between monster and man. A grieving mother finds comfort in an artificial version of her dead child—until it begins to whisper deadly ideas. A detective uncovers a cult harbouring an unspeakable, otherworldly parasite, forcing him into an unthinkable act of mercy. Elsewhere, brutality is dressed up as ritual in a harvest of blood and bone, while a supposedly cursed object reveals a far more disturbing truth: sometimes the evil was there all along.Across these stories, cruelty takes many forms. A petty thief learns the cost of betrayal. A seemingly harmless old woman steals something far more valuable than possessions. Obsession, revenge, and warped ambition spiral into violence as a musician turns on his critic, and a young girl conducts her own horrifying experiment to understand the nature of evil itself.But darker forces are always waiting. Forgotten people become devoted to an ancient cryptid god. A desperate dancer unknowingly bargains with the devil. And one man, trapped in a night that endlessly repeats, discovers he is nothing more than a plaything in a far greater game.Bleak, brutal, and unflinching, The Evil Edition asks a chilling question: when everything is stripped away, what truly defines evil—and how close are we to becoming it?

I have to work for AfterLife Enterprises, a shady celestial corporation that made one teeny-tiny mistake back in Y2K—accidentally sending thousands of souls to the Underground City instead of Heaven.Guess who gets to retrieve them?Armed with a sword I can barely lift and an alcoholic, useless "guardian angel" named Bill, I’m now officially a soul retriever essentially navigating the circles of hell, but this hell goes by the name of The Underground City.And this is by far the worst job I've ever had.I would’ve been demon chow by day two… if not for Tallis Black (the immortal Scottish dude mentioned earlier).A brooding, Celtic warrior with a deadly past and a body carved by the gods themselves, Tallis is all sharp edges, burning glances, and that voice—deep and rough like molten steel.

And for some reason, Alaire's got a thing for me--a thing that could cost me my life...The deeper Tallis, Bill and I go into the Underground City, the more I realize Tallis is hiding things—dangerous things. Secrets that could unravel everything I thought I knew about him, the afterlife… and myself.Somewhere between trying to dodge Alaire's advances, learning how to use my sword, the soul-stealing demons, and the scorching tension between Tallis and me, I begin to wonder if the real danger isn't surviving the Underground City... it’s falling for Tallis.Perfect for fans of spicy urban fantasy, brooding immortal heroes, laugh-out-loud banter, and reluctant heroines who find their strength in the darkest places.This series is your next must-read if you love: enemies to lovers, antiheroes with dark secrets, fated mates, forbidden love, found family, and Druid magic wrapped in a really sexy package.What's Inside:BETTER OFF DEAD (Book 1)THE UNDERGROUND CITY (Book 2)TO HELL AND BACK (Book 3)PERSEPHONE (Book 4)THE BLADESMITH (Book 5)REBIRTH (Book 6)NO GOING BACK (Book 7)DEVIL IN DISGUISE (Book 8)MARK OF THE BEAST (Book 9)DAYLIGHT FADING (Book 10)LORDS OF ILLUSION (Book 11)FIRE DOWN BELOW (Book 12)THE FINAL BATTLE (Book 13)Click BUY NOW or READ FOR FREE today!Check out my other boxed sets and $ave:The Witch, Warlock, and Vampire Box SetThe Midlife Spirits Box SetThe Lily Harper Box SetThe Dulcie O'Neil Box SetThe Happily Never After Box SetThe Shadow Guardians Box SetThe Midlife Mysteries Box SetThe HP Mallory Collective

I didn’t mean to unleash hell. But here we are.I was born into the Byrne bloodline—pure witch royalty. Too bad the universe skipped me when it handed out actual powers. No spells. No spark. Just attitude, fists, and a resting witch face sharp enough to cut glass.With zero spells to my name, I became the coven’s best demon-slayer just to prove I wasn’t useless. Spoiler: no one was impressed.My grandmother looked at me like I was a broken heirloom. The other witches either pitied me or wanted me gone. Only Sissily—my loud, loyal, batcrap best friend—stuck by me.I’m Hazel Byrne, and magical disappointment was kind of my thing.Right up until I blew up the coven library.That little disaster woke something inside me. Turns out I wasn’t powerless—I was sealed. Bound by blood pacts and buried secrets. And now that my magic’s out, every supernatural creep with a grudge wants a piece of me.Now demons are circling, the coven’s in chaos, and I’m not sure if the magic inside me will save us—or tear everything apart.If fierce witches, feral magic, and unhinged best friends are your thing, you’ll love Resting Witch Face. It’s the explosive first book in the Chronicles of Forbidden Witchery, a paranormal women’s fiction and urban fantasy series packed with chaos, heart, and hexed high drama._________________________________Praise for the Chronicles of Forbidden Witchery series:?????
