It’s the end of the nineteenth century in San Francisco’s Chinatown, and ghost hunters from the Maoshan traditions of Daoism keep malevolent spiritual forces at bay. Li-lin, the daughter of a renowned Daoshi exorcist, is a young widow burdened with yin eyes—the unique ability to see the spirit world. Her spiritual visions and the death of her husband bring shame to Li-lin and her father—and shame is not something this immigrant family can afford. When a sorcerer cripples her father, terrible plans are set in motion, and only Li-lin can stop them. To aid her are her martial arts and a peachwood sword, her burning paper talismans, and a wisecracking spirit in the form of a human eyeball tucked away in her pocket. Navigating the dangerous alleys and backrooms of a male-dominated Chinatown, Li-lin must confront evil spirits, gangsters, and soulstealers before the sorcerer’s ritual summons an ancient evil that could burn Chinatown to the ground. With a rich and inventive historical setting, nonstop martial arts action, authentic Chinese magic, and bizarre monsters from Asian folklore, The Girl with Ghost Eyes is also the poignant story of a young immigrant searching to find her place beside the long shadow of a demanding father and the stigma of widowhood. In a Chinatown caught between tradition and modernity, one woman may be the key to holding everything together.

I stopped and let them circle me, first because it was intriguing and, second, because, honestly, what could they do? Only knives, but all armed, and that made them even more interesting. Interesting. Fun. Playtime… Taking on bloodthirsty supernatural monsters is how Caliban and Niko Leandros make a living. But years ago—before they became a force to be reckoned with—the brothers were almost victims of a very human serial killer. Almost. Unfortunately for them, that particular depraved killer was working as apprentice to a creature far more malevolent—the legendary Spring-heeled Jack. He’s just hit town. He hasn’t forgotten what the Leandros brothers did to his murderous protégé. He hasn’t forgotten what they owe him. And now they are going to pay…and pay…and pay.…

Half-human/half-monster Cal Leandros knows that family is a pain. But now that pain belongs to his half-brother, Niko. Niko's shady father is in town, and he needs a big favor. Even worse is the reunion being held by the devious Puck race-including the Leandros' friend, Robin- featuring a lottery that no Puck wants to win. As Cal tries to keep both Niko and Robin from paying the ultimate price for their kin, a horrific reminder from Cal's own past arrives to remind him that blood is thicker than water-and that's why it's so much more fun to spill.

Die Dämonenjäger Cal und Niko kämpfen mit sinkenden Geschäften, während ein uralter Serienkiller nach New York zurückkehrt. Sie müssen ein Blutbad verhindern und ihren Freund Puck retten, der sich in Schwierigkeiten mit verärgerten Kreaturen befindet. Die Liste der Verdächtigen ist lang und die Herausforderung groß.

Determined to go back to the Institute and free the children they left behind, brothers Michael and Stefan must first destroy a new Chimera--one who can kill with a mere thought. Original.

Byl jsem sám a ztracený. Nevěděl jsem, kde jsem a nevěděl jsem, kdo jsem. Ztracenější být nemůžete. Při tom, co jsem věděl, a co jsem naopak vůbec nevěděl, proč bych toužil po temnotě, kde se skrývají monstra? Protože zabijáci se tam skrývají taky. Kal Leandros vždy kráčel po krvavé hranici mezi stavem, kdy se snažil zachovat svou smrtelnou duši svobodnou a čistou (více méně), a tím, kdy hrozilo, že se jeho hororové dědictví z jiného světa utrhne z řetězu. Pokaždé ho ale zachránila vzpomínka na bratra Nika, přátele, a ty, které miluje. Až doteď. Kal se probudil na pláži poseté rozsekanými zbytky ohavných stvoření, která zjevně vyhledávala potíže. Fakt, že jatka pravděpodobně způsobil on, ho nijak nerozrušil. Nerozrušilo ho ani to, že se cítil jako přirozený zabiják. Kala rozrušuje to, že si vůbec nepamatuje na Kala… a že si není jistý tím, že ho to zajímá.

When bar owner Trixia Iktomi is approached by a demon who needs her help, she and her friends go up against something even deadlier than fallen angels that has slaughtered almost a thousand demons in six months. Original.

Rescuing his long-lost brother from the Russian Mafia, Stefan Korsack discovers that his brother is no longer his brother, but a trained, genetically altered killing machine whose creators will not let go without a fight--to the death. Original.

Kdysi, když Kal a jeho bratr Niko pracovali na případu, je stará cikánská královna pořádně podrazila. Sotva se z toho dostali živí. A hádejte, kdo se najednou objevil teď, když se jejich detektivní agentuře moc nedaří, a nabízí jim práci. Stará cikánka chce, aby našli ukradenou rakev. Kal by jí raději do nějaké pomohl, ale v téhle rakvi je zavřené zlo známé jako Mor světa – a Černá smrt proti němu vypadá jako vzpomínka na nedělní piknik. Jenže zloděj už zmizel z města, a tak se bratři musí vydat na cestu. A jestli budou mít hodně velké štěstí, možná se z ní i vrátí zpátky.

Dealing information in a city plagued by soul-stealing demons, Las Vegas bar owner Trixa joins a high-stakes search for a powerful artifact that has become the object of an apocalyptic clash between angels and demons. By the best-selling author of Deathwish. Original.
