A hunted portrait. A twisted duke. An embarrassing crush. When a hunted portrait arrives at the priory for safekeeping, I make a disturbing discovery or two about my immortal neighbour. And an unwelcome one about myself. As my resourceful family tries to figure out what’s so special about the painting, a sinister duke makes a bold move in his bid to claim it. But the painting is not the only thing he’s after. Can we outwit the duke and bargain our way to victory? Or will we learn that we’re not the only ones with betrayal in mind? *** Of Blood and Oil is book 3 of Not the Same River, which follows Violet as she goes from gobby orphan to gobby warrior in this complete six-book series. This book features a stray nephilim, judgemental goats, and a vampire who doesn’t know where his trousers are.
The Archangel Gabriel has quite enough on his plate with a murderous vampire on the loose, the enigmatic Lord Hallam’s return to parliament after a ten-year absence, and the near riots at London’s notorious Thirteen Club. But when Gabriel and his faithful sidekick, Jelly, investigate the murder of a woman found in a cemetery with a sooty stain spreading beneath her body, and a curious note impaled on a stake beside her, they find the most troubling omen of all. The woman has the mark of Selene—a long-dead vampire-hunting guild—tattooed on her wrist, marking her as both a witch and a werewolf. Selene’s grimoires were destroyed decades ago, along with the guild itself, so how did the...
A romantic well-demon. A tenacious trans man. A love story for every bloom. On the run from an arranged marriage, Bram escapes London with his best friend and a vampire protector. But in order to make sure nobody follows, Bram resorts to drastic measures to erase his past identity. Oliver is mystified when the one he loves disappears without a trace, but when he meets Bram, he's certain the young man will help him overcome his heartache. In fact, there's something very familiar about the way Bram feels in his arms. *** This is a companion tale to Two Souls & a Pocket Watch (AKA Victorian Vampire Daddy) and follows approximately the same timeline. It's NOT a standalone, and Two Souls & a Pocket Watch should be read first. This book features a pregnancy, romantic pining, and fun times in the folly.
The secrets aren't at the door. They're already in the house. Betsy’s reluctance to lead the Merryweather coven puts her entire family in danger, and with an injured vampire showing up on their doorstep and a bloodborn harvest to resurrect, they can’t afford mistakes. When the coven is targeted on neighbouring Castle land, the only reliable witness is a young girl found hiding in the family mausoleum. But the girl is not what she seems. Lotus is a secret keeper with a bind on her tongue. When one of the Merryweathers finds her unconscious in the woods, Betsy helps Lotus unravel her tongue, slowly learning the terrible truth about what her coven has been harbouring for years. This book features a fat, bee-keeping lesbian vampire, a pansexual well-demon in need of a haircut, and romantic elements (f/f & m/nonbinary). Although this book is a standalone, it features characters from the Not the Same River series, so reading both will provide a richer experience.
What if the ordinary family you crave finds you? Only they’re not ordinary, neither are you, and neither are the vampire neighbours raising your twin sister. An accident is all it takes to turn my mundane life in a London children’s home upside down. Power and magic lurk at the priory, my new home in the Oxfordshire countryside, and I learn fast that nothing is ordinary around here. Not my newfound family—the Penhaligons. Not my long-lost twin sister. And not the hostile new neighbours—a coven of vampires, vaewolves and demons. As I grapple with family secrets, four powerful new brothers, and latent abilities of my own, my sister and the man who raised her find themselves in mortal d...
A badly behaved plague. The Serpent Girl. The Bloodborn King. As I wrangle my latest bequest into behaving itself and come to terms with Albert’s fate, Cascade finally comes knocking. And after making an unfortunate first impression on my new boss, I’m forced into facing down my nightmares. But as the archangel clans build, so do Fane’s forces, fulfilling prophecies old and new, and leading the way into a battle foretold long ago. Because like Michael says, the truth will come for you whether you believe it or not. And sometimes, it will fall into the palm of your hand. Cadence of Truth features an abandoned prison in a cursed chair, a nightmare in the London Underground, some atrocious artwork, and the wedding you’ve been waiting for. This is the final book of Not the Same River, a series in the Cascade Apocrypha storyworld. This series should be read in order.
When the river rises, there’ll be blood on my hands. My family is tracking the coven as they wreak havoc abroad—creating new vaewolves, attracting wraiths, building an army. I know this: an attack will come when the river rises. What I don’t know is why. The tree tapestry Mara spent a century seeking is the key, but we’re running out of time to discover what it unlocks. When the coven returns to England, bigger and stronger than ever, it’s not long before allegiances are tested, throwing my tentative relationship with my sister into doubt. When the river rises, I must fight for my life, but in the midst of battle, sacrifices will always be made, and my best friend will be changed forever. Hell is here, and she brought friends. From Tangled Roots Come Twisted Wings is Book 2 of Not the Same River, a complete six-book series that follows Violet as she goes from lost orphan to treasured warrior, finding the clan she would die for along the way. This series should be read in order. This book features sibling banter, petty goats, a message from the dead, and an unexpected resident cavorting in the garden.
Frustrated by the sluggish progress and bureaucratic constraints at Cascade, a band of violent femmes goes rogue. Talked into tossing out the rule book by her knife-smuggling vampire wife, chapter leader Silver Abrecan, a demon of regrettable lineage, teams up with the world’s only female vaewolf, and a whirlwind-fast nephilim. Together, they stalk the men who make London unsafe for women at night. Abel Ruskin has been building his empire for decades. He deals in two things: weapons and women. The Furies, they don’t like that. But as fast as they shut down one operation, another springs up in its place. All the while, Ruskin remains elusive, pulling strings from afar. A lucky break brings the Furies within spitting distance of Ruskin himself and the secret he’s been hiding all these years. But Ruskin is about to learn there’s nowhere to hide when the Furies are at the gate. *** This standalone story is set in London in 1979, in the Cascade Apocrypha storyworld. It also has an epic soundtrack. Check out the Not the Same River series for more set in this storyworld.
A clumsy nephilim. A vampire necromancer. The best pickpocket in all of London. Vampire daddies are all the rage, but Armando Rose really doesn't want one. He's always been too pretty for his own good, but when a friend inconveniently dies, leaving him with a child to take care of, he assumes he'll suddenly become less desirable to the undesirable men of the underground—a fact which would've suited him eminently, thank you very much. But he assumes wrong. His new charge is already the best pickpocket in London at seven years old, and there is no shortage of men willing to exploit her. Now, the Thames is alive with corpses thanks to the vengeful machinations of Jack Wish, who wants Cecilia'...
A missing archive. A list of potential bloodborns. An assassin who’s finally stepping into the light. In the aftermath of Fane’s vicious games, I'm in desperate need of training. But I get more from the nephilim tasked with my training than combat skills. Between the training warehouse, the recovered portrait of Radnor Harding, and the acid-laced tales of a takeaway owner, an intricate tapestry of secrets unravels—the kind of knowledge the archangels keep me in the dark about. Like the location of the coveted Bloodborn Archive, Fane’s list of potential bloodborn vampires, one of whom lurks closer to home than anyone expected, and the identity of the mysterious assassin with the red sleeve—his grace, the ghost in the mirror. What does he want with me? And why is he coming for me now? *** This book features the worst possible audience to Violet’s love life, a Ford Capri with a mind of its own, and that fancy archangel you’ve all been waiting for. This is book 5 of Not the Same River. This series is complete and should be read in order.
