The New York Shade Series by D.N. Hoxa

Welcome to the New York Shade! We’ve got the stuff made out of dreams in this little slice of Hell on Earth. We’ve also got the stuff made out of nightmares. Supernaturals are free to be who they are in the Shade. That’s the whole point of its existence—just not for me. My name is Sin Montero, hellbeast mercenary, and the best liar you’ve ever met. I’ve spent my whole life lying about what I am, until it all comes crashing down on me with a single bite... moreWelcome to the New York Shade! We’ve got the stuff made out of dreams in this little slice of Hell on Earth. We’ve also got the stuff made out of nightmares. Supernaturals are free to be who they are in the Shade. That’s the whole point of its existence—just not for me. My name is Sin Montero, hellbeast mercenary, and the best liar you’ve ever met. I’ve spent my whole life lying about what I am, until it all comes crashing down on me with a single bite. Turns out, my blood can’t tell lies, not to a vampire. Damian Reed is achingly beautiful the way a lion is breathtaking—right until he rips your throat out. He claims my baby brother is in trouble, and if I don’t help him find what he’s looking for, he’s going to turn me in to the authorities. Now that’s a big problem for me. You see, if the Sacri Guild caught wind of what I truly am, they would kill me without hesitation. But if I do what Damian Reed asks, there’s a good chance I’ll die in the process. So many great options, right? Good thing I’m not as helpless as I let people think. I’ve got a few tricks up my sleeve, and a crazy familiar who may or may not really be a squirrel. My brother’s life is on the line so I’ll take my chances with the vampire. Let’s just hope I survive him with my head—and my heart—intact. less

Bad smells at every turn, empty bags of food on my face, and you can forget all about shortcuts. I don't even know what I did wrong, but that's about to become the least of my problems.When a hellbeast mercenary like me asks for my help, I can't refuse.

Damian Reed is back, and he demands I tell him what I have that the Uprising wants. After four months of not hearing from him, I want nothing to do with him. But all alone, I have no chance against his crazy ex girlfriend.Accepting his help means going right back to where we started, but if I don't, I won't be able to help my new friend. This time, though, things between us just might end up worse than before. less

The New York Shade is completely invisible to humans, because humans can't see magic. That's how it was supposed to be. But when a powerful spell is unleashed outside of the Shade, nobody knows where it came from or who made it. Nobody except Damian Reed. I'll admit that using my Talent on one of my best friends might not have been one of my smarter decisions, but it all goes to hell when the same people who spelled the humans almost kill her... moreThe New York Shade is completely invisible to humans, because humans can't see magic. That's how it was supposed to be. But when a powerful spell is unleashed outside of the Shade, nobody knows where it came from or who made it. Nobody except Damian Reed. I'll admit that using my Talent on one of my best friends might not have been one of my smarter decisions, but it all goes to hell when the same people who spelled the humans almost kill her. Now, if I don't find what they took, the chances that my best friend goes to jail for life and I die, increase by the second. Unfortunately for me, the only person who can help me is Damian. Working with him always ends up in a disaster but Malin's freedom is on the line this time. I'll do what it takes to make sure the Guild never finds out about what we did. But the more time I spend with Damian, the easier it gets to convince myself that we could make it work. I just hope I can make sure that Malin doesn't go to jail first, before it all comes crashing down on me again. less

My whole life, I’ve kept the secret of what I really am far away from the entire world. It was safer that way, but I always knew that the day would come when the Sacri Guild would finally find out about my existence.The Uprising doesn’t intend to leave me alone. If I don’t do something about them, they are going to kill me. That was the reason I gave to myself when I decided to go after them. But things rarely go as planned, especially for me... moreMy whole life, I’ve kept the secret of what I really am far away from the entire world.
