The Eldritch Files Books 1-3 - The Eldritch Files

Phaedra Weldon

Sinopse

Eldritch means eerie, weird, or spooky. Perhaps, all three. Come to New Orleans where the Witches rule and the weird just keeps getting weirder.  
This is an omnibus of the first three books of The Eldritch Files, together in one convenient volume.  
Book I - Elemental Arcane 
Samantha Hawthorne lives a rather curious life in New Orleans running a magic and herb shop. As an Elemental Witch in the Big Easy and owner of a wolf Familiar as well as the head of a former Faerie Queen, curious is as quiet as it gets for Sam.  
Until children start turning into blood-thirsty Changelings and attack their parents.  
When one of these children shows up in front of her shop, Sam and her friends are determined to find out where they’re coming from and where the exchanged children are being kept and put a stop to it. But will they succeed when they find themselves pitted against ninja ghouls, one of the oldest and darkest enemies of the mortal world, and a secret from Sam’s childhood that could unravel her magic? 
Book II - Elemental Shadows 
How do we tell the good from the bad when they look the same?  
Elemental Witch and Magic Shop owner, Samantha Hawthorne, faces her future with the knowledge she was raised, taught, and groomed by the very evil responsible for the disappearance of her mother. Threads of Arcane Magic linger alongside the guilt Samantha endures for killing an innocent in her failed pursuit for revenge.  
Now Clerics, the Witch’s Judiciary Branch, appear and request her aid in proving the self-appointed Witch Queen of New Orleans possesses the rumored Malleus Maleficarum, The Witch’s Hammer. They believe her command of the book’s Arcane power is responsible for the death of three Witch Elders.  
But something else is rising in the city as reports of ghost sightings and evil shadows increase. Faced with a lingering fear her own use of Arcane Magic has tainted her in some way, mounting pressure with the threat of a warlock from the Clerics, and suspicion that the evil that escaped her is still influencing her decisions, Samantha calls upon her friends to weave their unique magic together to stop the rampage of Elemental Shadows.  
Book III - Elemental Moon 
Adjusting to the news her wolf is more than just a Familiar while lobbying the Witch's Parliament to remove her recent warlocking, Samantha Hawthorne is approached by an Alpha Werewolf. Two of his pack are missing and he asks Sam to help find them.  
Before she can answer, the Alpha marks her with a bite in order to guarantee her assistance, and to declare her his mate should she fail.  
Now it's a race against the Alpha’s venom to find the missing pack members while battling Ceremonial Magicians, revenge-seeking Clerics and Sam’s Arcane power that has suddenly acquired a voice of its own!  
Other books in the series not included in this box set. 
Book IV - Elemental Flame 
Book V - Elemental Soul 
Book VI - Elemental Storm

The Turning

Jennifer Armintrout

I’m no coward. But after my life turned into a horror movie, I take fear a lot more seriously. I finally became Dr. Carrie Ames just eight months ago. Then I was attacked in the hospital morgue by a vampire. So now I’m a vampire—with an unbreakable blood tie to the monster who sired me. 
 
The tie works like an invisible leash, binding me to one of the most depraved vampires on earth. While he’s hell-bent on turning me into a soulless killer, his sworn enemy is determined to exterminate me. Things couldn’t get much worse—except that I’m achingly attracted to them both. 
 
Drinking blood, living as an immortal demon and being a pawn between two warring vampire factions isn’t exactly how I’d imagined my future. But as my father used to say, the only way to conquer fear is to face it. So that’s what I’ll do. Fangs bared.
