As the broom end of her Sibyl triad, Merilee Alexander has the sacred duty as a warrior of taking out the trash. Lately, though, she’s been a little overwhelmed: Manhattan is a mess. And her prophetic end-of-the-world nightmares aren’t helped by the waking fantasies of love. Or the fact that the object of her affections, gorgeous Jake Lowell of NYPD’s Occult Crimes Unit, is playing it so cool.
Actually, Jake wants Merilee desperately, every luscious inch of her. Still, he’s holding back. He’s got secrets. Dark, dangerous, demonic secrets. But as Jake and Merilee trawl the city’s supernatural underbelly to out a demonic kingpin who, disguised as a charismatic leader, is amassing dark power, it’s make-or-break time. For their lives, their love, and the world are about to be sucked into the undertow of the tides of an unstoppable evil.

"PLAYING DEAD" by Allison Brennan SUSPENSE ISBN: 9780345502735

Dead Man Running
Sentenced to death for crimes he didn’t commit, ex-cop Tom O’Brien is now a fugitive on the run. After fifteen years behind bars, he’s determined to prove his innocence—but first he must convince his daughter, whose testimony helped put him in prison, that he has damning evidence of a plot to frame him.
Claire is no longer the naïve young teenager who walked in to find her mother and her mother’s lover dead and her father holding the gun. She’s a successful fraud investigator who figures that everyone lies. Though Claire believes in her father’s guilt, her curiosity propels her to look into the disappearance of a law student who claimed he had proof of Tom’s innocence. But the answers Claire finds only lead to more questions and reinforce her belief that there’s no one left to trust.
Obsessed with the O’Brien case, FBI agent Mitch Bianchi befriends Claire under false pretenses, convinced that Tom is not only innocent but in grave danger—and not just from the cops. As the three race toward the truth, a murderous conspiracy tightens its noose—and Claire becomes the target of an ice-cold psychopath who will kill to protect his secrets.

T-FLAC/psi operative Simon Blackthorne goes to Africa to continue the global war against paranormal terror—never expecting to clash swords with strong-willed Kess Goodall.
Kess struggles in her own desperate battle to unravel a deadly secret that has killed millions in the tiny country of Mallaruza. But Simon proves to be the ultimate distraction: his very presence takes her body to the edge of a pleasure-filled abyss, his touch superbly rapturous. Now, against a backdrop of staggering beauty and horrific violence, with danger at every turn and libidos in overdrive, a spirited woman and an indomitable wizard face a malevolent force more frightening than both can imagine.
With foes strong and numerous, Kess and Simon must forge a bond strong enough to eliminate a sadistic enemy before Mallaruza is lost to terrorist control and the world forever changed.
