About this ebook

Abby Whitmore's life changed forever when she lost both of her parents as a child and had to start a new life with her aunt and uncle. Years later, it would change again in a way she could never imagine.

When she headed out to celebrate her college graduation with her spitfire of a best friend, Phoebe Blake, she expected to have a fun night at her small town's pub. Instead, she met the man of her dreams, Kieran Bernard, and tumbled into a supernatural world that lived in secret right under her nose.

Abby discovers she is a member of a family of Patrons, the ancient rulers of all supernatural beings, and the secrets she uncovers change the course of who and what she believed herself – and her family – to be.

Vampires, demons, and fae are just the start of what she encounters as she tries to navigate a world where the things that go bump in the night are not only real… sometimes they're family.

Complete collection of The Patrons Series, including the novella Phoebe Blake: Boy-crazed Banshee, which tells the story of the first two books from Phoebe's sassy and foul-mouthed point of view!
