Critter wrangler rule #20: You can’t save them all.
Rage is boiling inside Kyra. Friends are dead, the world is burning, and her husband is…gone, his body and mind taken over by a demon. Death would have been kinder. But she can’t kill a demon, so Kyra must hunt down the creature wearing Mason’s face and do the unthinkable—trap him for all eternity in a bloodstone.
In between hunting expeditions, Kyra continues to rescue critters in need, including a unicorn whose rage matches her own after spending years as a frat house mascot, and the shar-lil, a creature of immense power whose destiny has yet to reveal itself.
Can Kyra stop a demon, save her growing family and still be an advocate for those creatures who have no voice of their own?
Unicorns Don’t Cry is Book 8 of the Valkyrie Bestiary, a dark and humorous Urban Fantasy series.
Being a working mom chosen to save the world is going to take practice, courage, and a whole crew of creature companions as backup.
The forest whispers to Kyra. Something is coming. The creatures are restless. Ash falls on their homestead. And Montreal ward is bursting with refugees.
But Kyra doesn’t need omens. She has a direct line to Terra, the god who put humankind in their place once before and won’t hesitate to do it again. Unless Kyra finds and destroys a deadly weapon. A weapon that will bring the end of everything. A weapon that is now in the hands of Montreal’s oldest enemy, the vampires.
Kyra and Mason have fought vampires before, but with Mason’s demonic magic threatening to push him over the edge, this time, the risk might be too high.
Can Kyra appease an angry god, face off against the vampires and protect her growing family?
Devils Don't Lie is Book 7 of the Valkyrie Bestiary Series.
Critter wrangler rule #17: even the smallest creature can be big in magic.
Kyra Greene never thought she’d return to Asgard. Not after she burned the Rainbow Bridge, the only road home. Now she has no choice. With her unborn child’s life at stake, she must find a new route to the old world, or die trying.
Asgard will bring up ghosts of her past and Kyra will have to atone for her crimes, but none of that is as important as saving the life of her child—until a ghoul infestation threatens the very fabric of Asgard itself.
Can Kyra find the source of the ghouls before Asgard becomes the next Terra and falls into a war of magic and demons?
Ghouls Don't Scamper is Book 6 of the Valkyrie Bestiary Series.
Critter wrangler rule #15: Always look a gift horse in the mouth. And if it has sharp teeth, never, never get on its back.
For ten years, Kyra Greene thought she was the only Valkyrie this side of the rainbow bridge. Until she gets a stunning message from her cousin, Gunora, asking for bail money.
But facing the ghosts of her past isn't on Kyra's to-do list. All she wants is to settle into her new home with Mason and her menagerie of furred, feathered and scaled rescues. But the many gods of Terra have other plans.
Gunora's plea for help sets a new Inbetween adventure in motion. Kyra and her crew will find themselves on the wrong side of the law and going to war with a herd of murderous kelpies. But this time, Kyra might finally set past wrongs to right.
Kyra Greene is out of this world-literally. Jacoby, her fire dervish, has been lost in the Nether for weeks. Only Kyra can find him but not without help from her estranged father. There's only one snag in that plan. Daddy is dead.
To save Jacoby, Kyra will travel between worlds with her band of misfit creatures. And this time, she won't be facing ghosts from Mason's past. She'll be going head to head with the distant dryad branch of her family and maybe digging up a few ghosts of her own.
Someone is plotting to put all gargoyles in jail . . . or six feet in the ground.
For decades gargoyles have patrolled the night in Montreal Ward. They are dubbed Guardians by the humans and fae who live on the fringes of society, those who survive in neighborhoods the police don't care about.
But when a Guardian is accused of murder, their reputation blackens. Mason promised to return from France with the one weapon capable of killing the formidable witch who was reborn from the bloodstone, but no one has heard from him in months.
Now Polina gathers forces. Without Mason or the Guardians, Kyra has no backup as she tries to solve a murder and face off against new and terrifying monsters . . . all while caring for her growing menagerie of extraordinary critters.
Sometimes you just need to hug your dervish.
Like when he protects you from brownies.
Or goes down into the scary basement with you because he's proud to be your apprentice.
Or when he saves the world.

Along with a quirky cast of misfits and unruly critters, Kyra leaves the safety of Montreal Ward and travels through the dangerous Inbetween-the land beyond the protected city states, where magic is the only rule of law.
