    THERE ARE REASONS WE FEAR THE NIGHT. HE’S NOT ONE OF THEM. 
    My name’s Bill Ryder and I used to enjoy D&D, cold beer, and not getting my ass kicked by monsters. Sadly, that all came to an end the night I met Sally, a blonde bombshell with a sharp wit and even sharper teeth. 
    Now I'm a vampire, surrounded by undead pricks who are stronger, faster, and better looking than me. Worse, their leader, a douche-canoe called Night Razor, is looking for any excuse to put me out of his misery. There’s just one small catch. I'm a rare breed of vamp, one who’s immune to his control and not afraid to tell him where to shove it. 
    Good thing too because my roommates would rather set me on fire than help, while Sally's too busy exploiting me for personal gain. Talk about a freaking dumpster fire. I might be a bloodsucking predator of the night, but if I don't get my act together, I'll end up at the bottom of the food chain.

    Book 2: Psychic Visions 
     
    Celebrated search-and-rescue worker Kali Jordon hides her psychic abilities by crediting her canine partner, Shiloh, with the miraculous recoveries made over the course of her career. The Sight Kali inherited from her grandmother allows her to unerringly track dark waves of energy back to victims of violence. She's managed to keep her secret safe, until a maniacal killer challenges her to a game of extreme Hide 'n Go Seek that threatens the lives of those closest to her.  
     
    Pragmatic FBI Special Agent Grant Summers has sworn to protect her, but Grant's own honed skill of sensing what's beneath the surface goes haywire each time he's around Kali and Shiloh. He's certain there's more to both of them than meets the eye.  
     
    As the killer cinches a tighter and tighter web around Kali, there's no longer any place for them to hide. As she has so many times before, can Kali's visions allow her to trace the latest victim's whereabouts before it's too late, or will this diabolical game of Hide-and-Seek cost her everything?

    I saw my death coming. 
    It was staring me in the face through the eyes of another witch, but I was wrong. It’s an easy mistake to make, that your enemies would be the cause. Death didn’t come from the front. It didn’t even come from behind. No, my death came from the person I kept beside me for so many years. My heart-keeper, my savior, my protector, my husband, my killer… 
    Summer may have been the villain, but her story is one of survival and betrayal. Captured as a witch, she’s “recruited” to fight against the technomancers as a secret weapon. Her marriage to Donarick Thames sets in motion a vicious cycle of misfortune when her once-sweet husband starts to grow more violent, but in the meantime, she’s a badass witch who commands netherbeasts. 
    This novella contains spoilers for Sonata, book 2 of Lyra R. Saenz’s Nocturne Symphony. Readers who have not yet read Sonata are advised to pause before venturing further. 
    Additional Warnings: Mentions of rape, torture, domestic abuse, stillbirth/infanticide, and abortion.
