There's a new monster in town.I'm so grateful Jellyfish Beach has preserved its small-town charm, despite the new residents who constantly arrive here. Especially when many of them aren't human.Case in point: a species of ogre from Venezuela and Colombia called the munuane. Known as the "Grandfathers of Fishes," legend has it that these ogres don't take kindly to humans who over-fish or otherwise abuse the environment. So, when fishermen and hunters start turning up dead around town, my handlers from the Friends of Cryptids Society suspect a munuane is to blame.Who is assigned to investigate? Yep, yours truly. With help from Matt, naturally, along with all the magic I can muster.The police don't suspect a hairy ogre from South America. And their "usual suspects" are surely innocent in my eyes. But, like most of my life, the investigation gets weird.And dangerous.Then, wouldn't you know it, my black-magic sorceress mother has to turn up and make my life even more complicated.Will evil prevail? Ogre my dead body!Dive into a wacky world of murder, magic, and mayhem with the "Monsters of Jellyfish Beach."

New York Times bestselling author Dianne Duvall brings readers the next stand-alone novel in a thrilling new sci-fi romance series full of action and humor. Simone has hunted and slain psychotic vampires night after night for hundreds of years and desperately needs a change. When the leader of the Immortal Guardians offers her an opportunity to guard ten mortal women who are venturing to another planet, she dives right in and finds traveling into space and meeting amazing alien races just as exciting as she'd hoped... until an enemy attacks. Simone saves everyone she can before she's thrust into an escape pod and the ship explodes. Alone, fearing some-if not all-of her friends have been killed, she vows to seek vengeance. Despite his fierce reputation and propensity for violating the law, Janwar has formed a friendship with strait-laced Prince Taelon of Lasara. When the prince's ship is destroyed, Janwar joins the massive Aldebarian Alliance-wide search and rescue mission and soon locates the Gathendien ship that launched the attack. An odd thing happens, however, as he and his crew stealthily approach it. The lifeforms inside begin to perish, two or three at a time in quick succession. Much to his surprise, someone else has reached the ship first: one of the very Earth women he hoped to rescue. Fascinatingly fierce, Simone bands together with Janwar and his crew to search for her missing friends and wreak havoc upon those who wish to harm them. She also widens eyes, drops jaws, and sparks laughter and mischief as she banishes the warriors' world-weariness and makes each day seem like a new adventure. The friendship that grows between Janwar and Simone swiftly deepens into love. But the enemy warriors they face are tenacious and boast more weapons in their arsenal than the alliance knows. Can Janwar, Simone, and such a small crew vanquish them?
