But it seems the king may have fallen from his throne when he disappears--along with $73,000 of the youth soccer association's registration fees. Original. (Read my review here.

Jaine Austen is looking
forward to an indulgent spa getaway--until she learns it's more about
deprivation than relaxation. Between miniscule meals and a deadly brush
with fame, surviving this vacation will be no piece of cake. (I have recently reviewed Levine's Death of A Neighborhood Witch, book #11 in A Jayne Austen Mystery series, and it was outrageous! Her backlist is like a bag of mini chocolate bars...cannot have just one! Delicious!!!)

In Lydia dare's debut trilogy, Regency England has gone to the wolves "He gets crankier and crankier as the moon gets full..."
The rules of Society can be beastly-especially when you're a werewolf and it's that irritating time of the month. Simon Westfield, the Duke of Blackmoor, is rich, powerful, and sinfully handsome, and has spent his entire life creating scandal and mayhem. It doesn't help his wolfish temper at all that Miss Lily Rutledge seems not the least bit afraid of him, and in fact, may be as untamable as he is...
"A woman whose charm is stronger than the moon..."
When Lily's beloved nephew's behavior becomes inexplicably wild, she turns to Simon, the boy's cousin and guardian, for help. But Simon's idea of assistance is far different than hers, and Lily finds herself ensconced in his house and engaged to the rogue.
They both may have bitten off more than they can chew when each begins to discover the other's darkest secrets... (I loved this Westfield Wolves series! Read my review here.)

Ever since The Big
Uneasy unleashed vampires, werewolves, and other undead denizens on the
world, it’s been hell being a detective—especially for zombie P.I. Dan
Chambeaux. Taking on the creepiest of cases in the Unnatural Quarter
with a human lawyer for a partner and a ghost for a girlfriend,
Chambeaux redefines “dead on arrival.” But just because he was murdered
doesn’t mean he’d leave his clients in the lurch. Besides, zombies are
so good at lurching.
Now he’s back from the dead and back in business—with a case load that’s downright unnatural. A resurrected mummy is suing the museum that put him on display. Two witches, victims of a curse gone terribly wrong, seek restitution from a publisher for not using “spell check” on its magical tomes. And he’s got to figure out a very personal question—Who killed him?
For Dan Chambeaux, it’s all in a day’s work. (Still, does ***everybody*** [delete: the media] have to call him “Shamble”?) Funny, fresh, and irresistible, this cadaverous caper puts the P.I. in R.I.P….with a vengeance.
