A Poo Poo Kind of MorningI tried not to look down the mouth of hell staring back at me from inside the glaringly pristine outer ceramic shell of the white throne, my throat catching, stomach doing half flips and a rather impressive rollover routine that would have gotten at least a 9.5 even from the Russian judges. Instead, I forced myself to smile and swallow and remind myself the elbow length yellow rubber gloves grasping the handle of the standard issue plunger were all that stood between me and Pooageddon. Suck it up, Fee. Big girl panties and adulting and all that."At what point," I waved the dripping plunger, wincing as droplets of yuck flew, "did I think owning a bed and breakfast was going to be glamorous and romantic?"Fiona Fleming hasn't lived in Reading, Vermont in over a decade, her escape from small town living leading her to New York City and a life of adventure. An adventure that has left her with no career, an ex who cheated on her and zero plans for the future. Her grandmother's death grants her a new chance--inheriting Petunia's, Iris Fleming's bed and breakfast, seems like the ideal fresh start. But when Fee finds out ownership of the property Iris willed her might be in question, she's drawn into the seedy underbelly of the cutest town in America after being singled out as the main suspect in a murder

The story behind the epic Hayle saga is finally here. Welcome to the life and times of Ethpeal Hayle. Banished from her coven by her malicious mother at almost eighteen, Ethpeal chooses action over despair. Alone but determined, with her next steps already thought out, she sets her sights on becoming one of the elite protectors of the North American Witches Council. Surely, there she can make the kind of difference she's always longed for. What she hadn't counted on was the animosity held by the headmistress of Coven Hall, the only training facility on the continent. When that resentful witch refuses Ethpeal admittance thanks to an old grudge and even older law, she faces the fact all of her carefully thought-out plans, hopes and dreams have been for nothing and that her future is now more uncertain than ever. But when a dark magic infiltrates Harvard and the order she longs to join, Ethpeal does what Hayle witches do best-she throws all concerns about her own fate aside, knowing taking action might mean the end of any chance she has to be who she really wants to be. An Enforcer.

Grandfather from Hell "I can assure you, with the utmost confidence," Henemordonin gestured with grand arrogance, "our people, our planes, are safe and secure under my rule." Oh, he so did not just say that out loud, Ahbi snarled. "Very well," I said in as bored a tone as I could wrangle while my grandmother raged in my head. "Thank you for your little update, Henemordonin. Was there anything else?" My grandfather didn't comment as all the work he'd put into his speech unraveled in a tittering wave of amusement from the court. "I do hope not," I said, looking away from him with a slow eye roll. "We have more important matters to deal with than yet another long-winded explanation why you are the center of the Universe." Meira's troubles are far from over. While her grandfather, Henemordonin, continues to undermine her power and authority, the Planeless sweep across Demonicon, recruiting more and more demons to their control. What's worse, parts of the Node holding the demon planes together seem to be disappearing without a trace. With the help of some unlikely allies, Meira must find the source of the decay of Demonicon's Node or risk the total destruction of her world.

Trials and Errors "You call this a trial?" Liander Belaisle spun around, glaring with his light yellow eyes, teeth flashing a cunning smile. "Arrest them both." Piers's own voice shook, his power snaking out, aided by the white sorcery at his command, slamming into a wall of magic to be dispersed in a puff of smoke. "Nice try," Belaisle said, bowing from the waist in a mocking salute. "Now, if you don't mind, I'd like a moment with my client." "Your what?" Piers's normally polished tone was harsh with shock. "That's right," Belaisle said, bright and shining. "As his legal representation, I'm here to defend Jean Marc against all comers." Creator's statue is so close to completion, the Universe crumbling around her while Syd tries to balance worrying about her friends and family while knowing her time as Doombringer is coming, that ultimately her choice will decide the fate of everyone she cares about. Including the handsome enemy soldier who swears he's on her side. And her son, the Gateway, who isn't telling her everything...

An old kind of newCrew closed the distance between us, my head suddenly tucked under his chin, hands pressing me to him, rocking me gently, softly while he whispered my name in my ear. "Fee, I love you. I stayed for you, from the first time we met. I knew it was you."Damn it, Crew Turner. Stop that right now.He turned me slightly, still holding me, and went on. "For better or worse, this place is home, now." He nodded to Vivian who nodded back. "No matter what happens, I guess I'm about to become a Fleming."I laughed at that through my tears, while Dad chuckled and Mom tsked. But, knowing Reading? That was exactly what everyone would think.Poor Crew.With a fresh death in none other than her beloved Petunia's, and her wedding hanging in the balance, Fee must accept a role she never expected while doing her best to catch a murderer, all while realizing there's a very good chance someone has it out for her...Don't miss a single volume in the Fiona Fleming Cozy Mysteries!

Losing Demonicon "I wish I had better news," Jabuitcabron said, making my insides sag with further defeat. "No matter what we do, how hard we fight, we are losing by the hour, my Ruler." I nodded. "So much for Xeoniteridone's declarations of peace and love." Jabut shrugged as Sassafras snorted next to me. "Peace and love my furry butt," the Persian snapped. "More like lie and cheat and steal until there's nothing left." Demonicon is coming apart at the seams, the Node holding the planes together separating with barely a complaint, and there is nothing Meira or her friends can do about it. Even the mighty drach, the first race, are at a loss to stop the Planeless leader from tearing her world apart. And though the young and worried Ruler faces defeat, losing Demonicon might be her only hope.

Help me Syd please help they're taking it and I can't stop them and I don't know what to do please help they're dying-- A single image made it through, from Mia's perspective, a slow tumble to the right as she fell onto polished marble stairs, dark shapes looming over her before she slipped away from me.
