Description from the publisher:
She's the Outcast no one wants - until they get into trouble.
 
Raine’s a Fae with no magic. Banished to live among “Mundanes” in the Human world she works as a Private Investigator for Otherworlders. But when she, Jordan, and Sam wake up on the stage, in the main tent of a mysterious, magical traveling Carnivale they can’t leave- she has some work to do.
 
Raine is tasked with figuring out what is wrong with the Carnivale. Why have women gone missing? Who is stealing from the Carnies? And most of all- why has the Carnivale not been able to move out of the secret grove for over two months.
 
Time is short for Raine as provisions in the Carnivale are down to the bottom of the barrel, and the carnies are ready to turn on her if she can’t figure out the problem fast. But it's not easy for Raine to concentrate on the problem when a sexy hot tigeress shifter has her sights on Jordan- and she's willing to go to any lengths to get him for herself.
 
Hoodwinked at Halloween is a fun, lighthearted Paranormal Mystery for those who love Kristen Painter's Nocturne Falls and Jayne Frost Series.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

HOODWINKED AT HALLOWEEN is the fourth book in the Otherworlder series.  They will each stand on their own, but I highly recommend reading them all and in the order of release.
 
This series gets better with every book.  I love Jordan’s devotion to Raine and the way it is emphasized when a were-tigress is presented, but he still has eyes only for his Raine.

  The snarky dialogue between the chihuahua sized dragon, Sam, and his “parents” is adorable and belly-laugh-able. The situations are unique.  This series never feels like the same old, same old and I enjoy every page of reading.
 
Our next holiday adventure will be New Years Eve.  I hope we never run out of holiday ideas for Raine and her family of loveable misfits.

MASSACRE AT MARDI GRAS by Rebekah R. Ganiere

Description from the publisher:
She's the Outcast no one wants - until they get into trouble.
 
Raine’s a Fae with no magic. Banished to live among “Mundanes” in the Human world she works as a Private Investigator for Otherworlders.

Mardi Gras is the annual blood drive for the Vampires of the East Coast. But when Mundanes are found slaughtered in the streets, Raine is hired by the head Vampire family to discover who is behind the murders.

The Vampires think it's the Shifters. The Shifters think it's the Vampires. And the Voodoo Priestesses say it could be zombies. But is it something else entirely?

As Raine investigates, she finds the case more complex than expected. Between every creature wanting a taste of her, Sam having to walk around in disguise, and Slade showing up dressed like a Fairy Godmother, she thinks she has her hands full- until a new ally becomes more trouble than they are worth.

Time is running out, and Raine must stop the murderer before Mardi is canceled. Because if she doesn't, when the blood stores dry up for the Vampires, the entire United States will have an even bigger problem than a dozen dead partiers.
 
Massacre at Mardi Gras is a fun, lighthearted Paranormal Mystery for those who love Kristen Painter's Nocturne Falls and Jayne Frost Series.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

MASSACRE AT MARDI GRAS is the third book in the Otherworlder series.  They will each stand on their own, but I highly recommend reading them all and in the order of release.
 
A wonderfully interesting take on why vampires are drawn to Mardi Gras and how voodoo plays a part.
 
I love Raine and the family she has made in the Mundane world.  Of course, everyone who reads these books falls in love with Sam.  He is the teenage, chihuahua of dragons and, oh-boy, do I know about demanding chihuahuas!  I can just imagine mine breathing fire and making little dragon ultimatums.
 
Rebekah Ganiere is a perfect example of why I believe authors are rock stars!  I recommend this story for anyone who loves to laugh, enjoys a bit of cozy mystery, and wants a feel-good romance with fun, flirt, and a fantastic familiar.

Publish Date:  04.20.2022
Category /Genre:  Paranormal Romance

Description from the publisher:
Since becoming a shifter, my life has turned upside down. Gone are my days of solitude, enjoying an empty nest while my daughter is off at college. Instead, I'm juggling a new job, a new pack of friends, and a hot dragon shifter making eyes at me. That's enough to drive me crazy, but now I'm also worrying about my daughter accidentally swearing an oath to an evil Alpha of her own.
 
My friends and I have a plan to free her from the alpha’s ruthless control, but the process might be a little reckless. We can use both magic and death, right?
 
I sure hope so.
 
As a mom, I was prepared to let my daughter live her own life. But I'm not about to lose her forever to a pack of shifter miscreants.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

ALPHA MALES AND OTHER SHIFT is the second book in the Shifting into Midlife series.  This series is best read in the order of release.
 
I love the characters and the world of this book.  Beth has a few surprise revelations that move this story along – like finding out that she and her daughter are unique among the shifters because of the father she doesn’t know.
 
There is great suspense and intrigue as Beth and the Fascinators are working to free Beth’s daughter, Tilly, from the rival alpha’s gang.
 
The story is exciting, suspenseful, and heartwarming as well.  There’s also a bit of romantic interest heating up.
 
I’m hanging on the edge of my seat until the next book in this series is released!
