“Remarkable.… Gaiman has provided an enchanting contemporary interpretation of the Viking ethos.”—Lisa L. Hannett, Atlantic
Neil Gaiman, long inspired by ancient mythology in creating the fantastical realms of his fiction, presents a bravura rendition of the Norse gods and their world from their origin though their upheaval in Ragnarok.
In Norse Mythology, Gaiman stays true to the myths in envisioning the major Norse pantheon: Odin, the highest of the high, wise, daring, and cunning; Thor, Odin’s son, incredibly strong yet not the wisest of gods; and Loki—son of a giant—blood brother to Odin and a trickster and unsurpassable manipulator.
Gaiman fashions these primeval stories into a novelistic arc that begins with the genesis of the legendary nine worlds and delves into the exploits of deities, dwarfs, and giants. Through Gaiman’s deft and witty prose, these gods emerge with their fiercely competitive natures, their susceptibility to being duped and to duping others, and their tendency to let passion ignite their actions, making these long-ago myths breathe pungent life again.
Lucy Divine was born with an enigmatic and unwanted psychic ability which has become her deepest secret.
When Grant Alexander resurfaces in her life, a boy whose family moved away from hers over a decade earlier, she feels obligated to help him when one of his family’s most valuable possessions goes missing.
Lucy is torn—in doing so, she must first reveal her ability, and open herself up to the possibility that Grant could turn away from her, disbelieve her, or even worse—regard her with scorn as the people in her past have.
But Grant harbors his own secrets—secrets that did not originate with him, but instead, with members of his family, including the insidious truth about why his and Lucy’s families broke contact years earlier.
The two stand to lose a lot if they reveal their secrets, especially as they grow closer to each other.
But it's not easy to keep the truth, especially one you feel is owed, from a person you care deeply about.
Will they decide it’s worth the risk?
USA TODAY bestselling author Natasha Brown blends urban fantasy, paranormal romance and supernatural suspense in the Half-Bloods, an adventure for lovers of shifters, vampires... and more.
Jax never stays anywhere long enough to put down roots. He’s a shapeshifter—the only one of his kind, or so he thinks. While prowling on his landlady’s property, he is stunned to find a man feeding on her neck. Although he frightens away the blood-sucker, Jax leaves behind a paralyzed woman and a trail of blood in his wake.
Aerilyn teaches high school and doubles as a guardian for the Genus Society, an ancient underground shifter organization. After learning of a cougar attack in her own mountain neighborhood, she suspects a rogue shifter is to blame.
When the Society accuses Jax of the “animal attack,” he is ordered to stick around until he can clear his name. Desperate to regain his freedom, he must put his trust in his beautiful guardian. Their forbidden attraction leads Aerilyn to wonder if the blue-eyed drifter is innocent. And if he is, the Society has an even bigger problem on its hands—one that feeds on blood.

Adam is a typical nineteen-year-old guy except...he isn’t. Born with the gift of second sight, he could be a great help to people. Could be, if he wasn’t such a slacker. Instead, he’s obsessed with his nonexistent love life, trying to hookup with women too many evenings in the local watering hole after the shift at his part-time job ends.
Marked when he was twelve years old by a powerful demon, he encounters it again. It’s been waiting for him to mature and now he’s definitely ripe.
Adam is revolted by the evil succubus. Even a wannabe lothario has some standards. This enrages the demon, who strikes back. Bodies start to pile up. Making an already terrifying situation worse, the evidence points to Adam as the murderer.
He flees his small town and ends up in Saranac Lake—exactly where the demon wants him. Now it’s up to him to finally man up and fight.
All hell is about to break loose.
The Demon and Me: A stand alone novel of Paranormal Suspense in the traditions of Odd Thomas and Rosemary’s Baby.
A promise. A poison. A race to save a love balanced on the edge.
A brazen heist. A supernatural detective with a secret. A world of danger, passion, and suspense...
Eddie Vangh prefers to lay low and go about his business--and business is good. As a private investigator for the rich and elite, he’s paid to track down stolen valuables and uncover secrets...too bad he has one of his own.
Having been turned as a Vampire during WWII, Eddie is careful not to linger in one area for too long, and forming close connections is definitely out of the question.
However, when billionaire Spartak Newmark hires Eddie to unmask the persons behind a theft at Newmark’s estate, he knows he can’t turn this case down: first, because Newmark is a Vampire as well and knows Eddie’s nature almost better than he knows himself, and second, because the stolen items contain the bloodlines of the world’s oldest Vampires—which has dire consequences were they to fall into the wrong hands.
Between recovering the stolen Vampire blood and uncovering a trail of bodies, Eddie finds himself growing closer to Amelia, who also works for Newmark and is reluctant to share her own past. He questions if he could truly have a future with her, but one thing he’s sure of—if he doesn’t solve the case quickly, his may be the next body to turn up.
THEN EVIL COMES KNOCKING…
Amateur North Carolina sleuth (and psychic) Promise McNeal just can't seem to get a good night’s sleep—someone’s always haunting her dreams. Lately it's been her great grandfather, January McNeal, and who disobeys their great grandfather?
So she delves back into family history, but when she finds grave robbery in there, she has second thoughts.
Then evil comes knocking.
First someone burns her barn, then the contractor she hires to rebuild it is murdered, nearly at her back door. More fires lead her to a mysterious abandoned child who seems an unlikely arsonist. And an even more unlikely murderer. Meanwhile her flirtation with sexy fiddler Daniel has blossomed into a full-blown love affair, a good thing since she can use his help (and that of his semi-Goth daughter Susan) when the child disappears in freezing weather. So a rescue’s afoot, as well as a race towards the kind of secret that makes people kill.
North Carolina ambience, a dash of romance, and a rollicking chase through history make this cozy mystery sing!
The fiftyish Promise is an attractive new female sleuth who’s sure to appeal to fans of cozies, especially those by Julia Spencer-Fleming and Louise Penny, and those with a light sprinkling of psychic suspense; admirers of amateur sleuths and their close sisters female private investigators; readers of supernatural suspense and psychic detective fiction of all sorts; and especially to fans of other great North Carolina mystery authors like Margaret Maron, Barbara Neely, Elizabeth Daniels Squire, and Vicki Lane.
