“Women should fight at my side as Shield-maidens, or warm my bed. What they should not do is shoe my horse, because that takes real skill.” Isla Sinclair is celebrating becoming a blacksmith on the remote Scottish island she calls home when a mysterious stranger steps out of the misty night and sends her hormones racing. Isla and sex have been strangers for too long. She’s more accustomed to working hot metal than a hot man, and when this hard-muscled individual demands she ease his aching limbs with extra services, Isla’s not impressed. But…twenty-first century hospitality surely dictates she offer him a bed for the night. Ragnar Rask, King of a Viking settlement in 800 A.D., has taken Viking wanderlust to new levels in his hunt for a suitable queen to fight at his side, bear his children and continue his line. Strong, resourceful Isla may be his chosen mate. But luring her back to his own times leads straight into danger. An evil priest’s magical powers have increased in Ragnar’s absence, threatening everything he holds dear. Does a time-travelling Fire Witch possess powers to defeat a dangerous warlock and claim her rugged mate?

An ancient battle of the sexes has raged for centuries, but a strange calm has befallen the age-old conflict as of late. How were the witches subdued, and what will happen when they remember how to wield their true power? "The women are too powerful. They must be tamed." For hundreds of years a war has been waged between a coven of perpetually reincarnating witches and the all-male conspiracy known as the Architects. After the death of the lead Architect in 2005, it seemed the witches had finally defeated their foes. Now, 13 years later, waking up in a perfect cookie-cutter home at the end of a cul-de-sac in a sunny corner of suburbia, Isadora has no recollection of her past life as the leader of a witch coven, nor her soul mate Nadiya, let alone the centuries-old war she has waged in defense of the soul of America...

This book addresses the pervasive representation of women with unique visionary abilities in postfeminist television series and films from the 1990s to the present. These women mediate between the living and the dead or between different worlds of experience, redefining what it means to be "normal" and challenging the traditional boundary between science and the inner world of visionary, mystical experience. Part 1 includes a discussion of modern-day Cassandra figures, including the witches and other "seers" of the television series Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, Firefly, Charmed, Hex, and Tru Calling. Part 2 discusses modern television shows whose main characters represent a contemporary spin on Joan of Arc, including Joan of Arcadia and the short-lived Wonderfalls. Finally, Part 3 investigates female mediums and other "psychic detectives" in reality television series such as Psychic Investigators and Rescue Mediums; the popular television dramas Medium, Ghost Whisperer, and Afterlife; and contemporary films such as Ghost, The Gift, and Premonition.

So apparently my mom was a witch. And not just a witch, but a witch who turned bad. My poor, sweet, normal dad wanted me to have a good college experience. Instead I get a magical offer I literally can’t refuse, from the world’s most elite school for warlocks. WARLOCKS. As in GUY WITCHES. Even though I definitely have lady parts, somehow I ended up at a warlock school to learn the gentlemanly arts (which are a lot more badass than, ahem, lady magic). Did I mention the witch world is stuck in the 19th century? Unmarried witches and warlocks barely see each other outside of society balls, which are still a thing. No one knows how I ended up here. I’m thrown into a whole new world where I am outcast and friendless, except for: —Firian, the enigmatic fox shifter who has been watching over me since I was born. —Alec, my new roommate, a sexy-as-sin incubus enchanted not to lay a hand on me. For safety. Or cruel and unusual punishment. —Montague, the black sheep of the school since he got turned into a vampire on spring break. —Harris, an arrogant ass from the most elite of all magical families. Okay, he’s not my friend but he’s Montague’s. I’ll work on him. My existence here breaks all the rules. Am I here for the right reasons? Or am I the pawn meant to destroy the very world I’m starting to love? When my magic proves stronger than anyone expects, and the school is attacked by a demon, I’ll need help from the four gorgeous magical men who are willing to break a few rules with me. They’re each forbidden to me in their own way, and the greatest danger of all might not be demons, but falling for them. All of them. This is the first book in A Witch Among Warlocks, a medium burn reverse harem paranormal magic academy university series.

A shifter serial killer is on the loose, and Chavvah Trimmel appears to be the next target. ***** The past year has been seriously craptastic, and all I want to do is focus on the future and forget about the past. I’d also like to forget about a certain sexy werewolf doctor who only sees me as a patient and a victim, not a potential mate. Whatever. Running a restaurant with my best friend Sunny is all the medicine I need. Besides, I’m a coyote-shifter, and coyotes and wolves don’t play well together. At least, that’s what I’ve always been taught. So, when the Tri-State Council of Therianthropes decides to hold their annual Jubilee in Peculiar, I welcome the distraction from my troubles. But trouble has a way of finding me. With an influx of new shifters in town, a murder behind Sunny's Outlook has everyone on high alert, and we have a big mystery to solve if we want to stop a killer in his tracks. To complicate matters, the wolf shifter doc is acting strange around me. He’s protective, territorial, and annoyed (okay, the annoyed part isn't that strange), and that has me worried more about my heart than my safety. Peculiar Mysteries series from USA Today bestselling author Renee George are laugh-out-loud, grip the edge of your seat, and swoon as you fall in love tales of mystery, humor, and romance that take place in the small (fictional) Ozark shifter town of Peculiar, Missouri.
