our years ago, crime beat reporter Riley O’Rourke changed the world. To be fair, it wasn’t entirely her fault.
Her mentor, a 3,000-year-old vampire, accidentally destroyed the Tucson police headquarter’s building during a fight with a sorcerer. After footage of the fight went viral on the internet, Riley changed into a black jaguar on live TV during a press conference. The existence of Preternaturals—vampires, witches, and other were-animals like Riley—was revealed, and humans went a little crazy. The cats—and dogs—were out of the bag and only an act of Congress stopped the chaos.
Not all the Preternaturals are happy with this new world order, however.The Queen of the Winter Fae worries that exposing her hidden world will destroy it, and sends the nastiest storybook characters imaginable to kill Riley before she can out the Fair Folk, too.
The Summer Queen, Winter’s arch-rival, promises to protect Riley if she does her a teeny-weeny favor: break into Winter’s castle, sneak past creatures straight out of Riley’s nightmares, steal a magical mirror, and return it. All without Neve noticing.
Riley agrees to the favor—what choice does she have? But dealing with the Fae is always a double-edged sword, and the Summer Queen neglected to explain that if Riley successfully pulls off this heist, the entire world might end up on the edge of destruction.

She counts Diana Gabaldon and Jim Butcher as her favorite authors and biggest influences.
Faerie Tales: Revelations Trilogy: Book One (Volume 1) Paperback
I've been told that I'm beautiful, exotic-looking even. I have all the advantages of a mixed heritage—my father's Irish blood had given me height, reddish tones in my dark brown hair, and the freckles across my nose and cheekbones. From my Japanese mother, I'd inherited almond-shaped eyes, tawny skin that rarely burned in the sun, and a willowy grace. In my line of work, I'd met plenty of beautiful women as well, but the woman who entered my office on Danny's heels was so stunning, so flawless that it hurt to look at her. She was angelic, really, with raven black hair, porcelain skin, and large, expressive dove-gray eyes. And yet, despite her beauty, she seemed cold and unforgiving, like winter above the Arctic Circle.
