AN INSTANT USA TODAY BESTSELLER! Vampires, vaqueros, and star-crossed lovers face off on the Texas-Mexico border in this supernatural western…
from the author of The Hacienda . As the daughter of a rancher in 1840s Mexico, Nena knows a thing or two about monsters-her home has long been threatened by tensions with Anglo settlers from the north. But something more sinister lurks near the ranch at night, something that drains men of their blood and leaves them for dead. Something that once attacked Nena nine years ago. Believing Nena dead, Néstor has been on the run from his grief ever since, moving from ranch to ranch working as a vaquero. But no amount of drink can dispel the night terrors of sharp teeth; no woman can erase his childhood sweetheart from his mind. When the United States invades Mexico in 1846, the two are brought abruptly together on the road to war: Nena as a curandera, a healer striving to prove her worth to her father so that he does not marry her off to a stranger, and Néstor as a member of the auxiliary cavalry of ranchers and vaqueros. But the shock of their reunion-and Nena's rage at Néstor for seemingly abandoning her long ago-is quickly overshadowed by the appearance of a nightmare made flesh. And unless Nena and Néstor work through their past and face the future together, neither will survive to see the dawnOld flames and new fortunes (Moonville #1)

Sure, I might be a low elf. But that doesn't mean I won't get up to high jinks. Daisy Carter…
knows she's not anyone special. She might be brave and resourceful. She might possess a touch more magic than your average low elf.

He's also an arrogant idiot who deliberately destroys Daisy's life. Before she knows it, she's thrust into a treasure hunting adventure that she could never have dreamed of.

Raised to be my father's weapon against the Coven that took away his sister and his birthright, I would do…
anything to protect my younger brother from suffering the same fate. My duty forces me to the secret town of Crystal Hollow and the prestigious Hollow's Grove University—where the best and brightest of my kind learn to practice their magic free from human judgment. There are no whispered words here. No condemnation for the blood that flows through my veins. The only animosity I face comes from the beautiful and infuriating Headmaster, Alaric Grayson Thorne, a man who despises me just as much as I loathe him and everything he stands for. But that doesn't mean secrets don't threaten to tear the school in two. No one talks about the bloody massacre that forced it to close decades prior, only the opportunity it can afford to those fortunate enough to attend. Because for the first time in fifty years, the Coven will open its wards to the Thirteen: thirteen promising students destined to change the world. If the ghosts of Hollow's Groves' victims don't kill them first... The Coven is book one in the Coven of Bones series and ends on a cliffhanger.
