Sloane Beaumont has pitted himself against ancient gods, murderous
cultists, and cursed magic. Now he’s facing off against the most
powerful threat yet: one of his own friends. Elliam Sturm
has always had mysterious abilities. Most recently he’s used them
to bring new life to his ghoul boyfriend’s rotting body. However,
the true source of his power has been finally revealed and may
drive him to destroy the universe in an eons-old cycle of violence
and death. For the first time since his parents’ murder, Sloane
is happy with his husband, Loch, their daughter, and their growing
extended and immortal family. He can’t let Ell destroy that... or
himself. Desperate to save Ell from his own fated corruption and to
prevent the destruction of existence as they know it, Sloane will
have to travel to new worlds, raise a magical army, and fight to
protect the life he and Loch have worked so hard to build in one
final epic battle.
It’s hard to have a love life when you don’t have a pulse. All
that changes for Fred Wilder when he meets Elliam Sturm a few weeks
after Sloane Beaumont first becomes a Starkiller and kills a god.
As a ghoul, Fred Wilder needs very specialized medicine to combat
his constantly rotting body. As a thief, Fred needs that body in
good condition. Fortunately for him, Ell does the impossible:
brings new life to Fred’s dead flesh. Just being around Ell makes
Fred feel alive for the first time since his untimely demise.
He’s so charmed by Ell’s bright personality and shared love of
obscure fantasy that he doesn’t think twice about the source of
Ell’s power. But this is Archersville, so their blossoming
romance is threatened by a dangerous painting that could awaken an
ancient god who could destroy the world. Now the fate of billions
hinges on Fred completing a daring heist. But as Fred and Ell work
together, the true depth of Ell’s power becomes impossible for
Fred to ignore, and he’s forced to accept that perhaps the
biggest mystery—and the biggest threat—has been with them all
along….
Es passt einfach alles zusammen: als Ted die Liebe seines
Lebens kennenlernt, ist er von oben bis unten mit dem Blut eines
Mordopfers bedeckt. Ted Sturm arbeitet fÃœr ein
Bestattungsunternehmen. Er hat ein loses Mundwerk, ein großes Herz
und die zweifelhafte Gabe, mit Toten kommunizieren zu kÖnnen.
UnglÃœcklicherweise sind Tote keine guten Freunde, und sein
einziger lebender Freund, mit dem er auch die Wohnung teilt, hat
gerade eine streunende Katze aufgenommen, die Ted das Leben zur
HÖlle macht. Und diese Katze - eigentlich ein Kater - hat es in
sich. So kommt es, dass Ted sich plÖtzlich in einer anderen
Dimension wiederfindet. Auf einer Leiche. Ted wird des Mordes
angeklagt und sein einziger VerbÃœndeter in dieser merkwÃœrdigen
Welt voller magischer Wesen und Unwesen ist KÖnig Grell, ein
sarkastischer, geiler, katzenartiger Unsterblicher mit
beeindruckenden FÄhigkeiten. Und einer beeindruckenden Anatomie.
Die beiden werden in eine kosmische VerschwÖrung verwickelt,
umgeben von gefÄhrlichen Feinden. Mit Teds spezieller Begabung und
Grells Magie mÃœssen sie versuchen, der Sache auf den Grund zu
gehen, um Teds Leben zu retten. Es gibt da nur ein Problem: Ted
muss Grells unzweideutigen Avancen widerstehen. Und er ist sich
nicht sicher, ob er das Ãœberhaupt will.
People talk about the marriage of true minds, but Alexander
doesn’t think this is what they meant. After a cruel experiment
binds him to the soul of Rota, an old god, Alexander has one
mission: find Rota’s body. Having a godly boyfriend is great, but
it would be better to have one that he could actually touch.
Unfortunately, even Alexander’s ability to command Rota’s
divine power hasn’t helped. A rare book of poetry may finally
provide the answer. The expertise they need translating it brings
them to Oleander Logue, a young man with plenty of problems that
seem at odds with his cheerful nature. Ollie is happy to help, but
he’s in trouble with a gangster who demands that Alexander and
Rota solve a series of murders first. Desperate, Alexander and Rota
accept the case… but it’s not that simple. The gangster’s
threats to Ollie’s safety disturb them both, but is that because
they’re both growing more attracted to Ollie… or because he’s
a potential host for Rota? If they can’t solve these murders,
they may never find out.
Newlyweds Sloane and Loch are eagerly expecting their first child,
though for Sloane that excitement is tempered by pregnancy side
effects. Carrying a god’s baby would be enough to deal with,
especially with the whole accelerated gestation thing, but it’s
not like Sloane can take maternity leave. He works for himself as a
private investigator. Which leads him to his next case. At least
this strange new mystery distracts him from the stress of constant
puking. When two priests are murdered within hours of each other, a
woman named Daphne hires Sloane and Loch to track down the prime
suspect—her brother—before the police do. Between untangling a
conspiracy of lies and greed, going toe-to-toe with a gangster, and
stealing a cat, they hardly have time to decorate a
nursery….Â
Rien ne rapproche aussi bien deux hommes – ou plutÔt un homme et
un immortel – que la vengeance. Sloane, dÉtective privÉ, a
sacrifiÉ sa carriÈre dans les Forces de l’Ordre pour traquer le
meurtrier de ses parents. Comme eux, il croit en des dieux
oubliÉs, il pratique leur magie et leur offre ses priÈres… sans
jamais obtenir de rÉponse. Jusqu’ici. Azaethoth le Petit, dieu
des voleurs et des escrocs, prend soin des siens. Il vient sur
terre pour venger le meurtre d’un de ses favoris et peut-Être
sÉduire le trÈs tentant dÉtective que le destin a mis sur son
chemin. S’il rÉussit dans ses projets, il ne s’agira pas
seulement d’attraper un tueur pour le remettre À la justice. En
fait, Azaethoth est sÛr d’avoir enfin trouvÉ celui avec lequel
il aimerait passer sa vie Éternelle. La rÉsistance initiale de
Sloane cÈde devant la tendresse inattendue d’Azaethoth, et les
tentacules qu’il aperÇoit parfois sous l’apparence humaine du
dieu enflamment son imagination. Mais leur enquÊte devient de plus
en plus Étrange et dangereuse. Pour survivre À la bataille
finale, le couple aura besoin d’un peu de foi… et beaucoup de
lumiÈre mystique.
Detective Elwood Q. Chase has ninety-nine problems, and the
unexpected revelation that his partner is a god is only one of
them. Chase has been in love with Benjamin Merrick for years and
has resigned himself to a life of unrequited pining. But when they
run afoul of a strange cult, Merrick's secret identity as Gordoth
the Untouched slips out… and so do Chase's feelings. The timing
can't be helped, but now Merrick thinks Chase only cares about him
because he's a god. Even more unfortunately, it turns out the
cultists want to perform a ritual to end the world. Chase's mission
to convince Merrick his feelings predate any divine revelations
takes a back seat to a case tangled with murder and lies, but Chase
doesn't give up. Once he finds out there's a chance Merrick feels
the same way, he digs in his heels. Suddenly he's trying to court a
god and save the world at the same time. What could possibly go
wrong?
A Sucker For Love Mystery Private investigator Sloane Beaumont
should be enjoying his recent engagement to eldritch god Azaethoth
the Lesser, AKA Loch. Unfortunately, he doesn't have time for a
pre-honeymoon period. The trouble starts with a deceptively simple
missing persons case. That leads to the discovery of mass
kidnappings, nefarious secret experiments, and the revelation that
another ancient god is trying to bring about the end of the world
by twisting humans into an evil army. Just another day at the
office. Sloane does his best to juggle wedding planning, stopping
his fiancé from turning the mailman inside out, and meeting his
future godly in-laws while working the case, but they're also being
hunted by a strange young man with incredible abilities. With the
wedding date looming closer, Sloane and Loch must combine their
powers to discover the truth—because it's not just their own
happy-ever-after at stake, but the fate of the world….
A Sucker For Love Mystery It's just Ted's luck that he meets the
love of his life while covered in the blood of a murder victim.
Funeral worker Ted Sturm has a foul mouth, a big heart, and a knack
for communicating with the dead. Unfortunately the dead don't make
very good friends, and Ted's only living pal, his roommate, just
rescued a strange cat who's determined to make his life even more
miserable. This cat is more than he seems, and soon Ted
finds himself in an alternate dimension… and on top of a dead
body. When Ted is accused of murder, his only ally in a strange
world full of powerful magical beings calling for his head is King
Grell, a sarcastic, randy, catlike immortal with impressive
abilities… and anatomy. The two soon find themselves at the
center of a cosmic conspiracy and surrounded by dangerous enemies.
But with Ted's special skills and Grell's magic, they have a chance
to get to the bottom of the mystery and save Ted. There's just one
problem: Ted's got to resist Grell's aggressive advances… and he
isn't sure he wants to.
Nothing brings two men--or one man and an ancient god--together
like revenge. Private investigator Sloane sacrificed his career in
law enforcement in pursuit of his parents' murderer. Like them, he
is a follower of long-forgotten gods, practicing their magic and
offering them his prayers... not that he's ever gotten a response.
Until now. Azaethoth the Lesser might be the patron of thieves and
tricksters, but he takes care of his followers. He's come to earth
to avenge the killing of one of his favorites, and maybe charm the
pants off the cute detective Fate has placed in his path. If he has
his way, they'll do much more than bring a killer to justice. In
fact, he's sure he's found the man he'll spend his immortal life
with. Sloane's resolve is crumbling under Azaethoth's surprising
sweetness, and the tentacles he sometimes glimpses escaping the
god's mortal form set his imagination alight. But their
investigation gets stranger and deadlier with every turn. To
survive, they'll need a little faith... and a lot of mystical
firepower.
