About this series
Frustrated by the sluggish progress and bureaucratic constraints at Cascade, a band of violent femmes goes rogue.
Talked into tossing out the rule book by her knife-smuggling vampire wife, chapter leader Silver Abrecan, a demon of regrettable lineage, teams up with the world's only female vaewolf, and a whirlwind-fast nephilim. Together, they stalk the men who make London unsafe for women at night.
Abel Ruskin has been building his empire for decades. He deals in two things: weapons and women. The Furies, they don't like that. But as fast as they shut down one operation, another springs up in its place. All the while, Ruskin remains elusive, pulling strings from afar.
A lucky break brings the Furies within spitting distance of Ruskin himself and the secret he's been hiding all these years.
But Ruskin is about to learn there's nowhere to hide when the Furies are at the gate.

- Secrets at the Door: Tales from the Noctuary, #1
1
The secrets aren't at the door. They're already in the house. Betsy's reluctance to lead the Merryweather coven puts her entire family in danger, and with an injured vampire showing up on their doorstep and a bloodborn harvest to resurrect, they can't afford mistakes. When the coven is targeted on neighbouring Castle land, the only reliable witness is a young girl found hiding in the family mausoleum. But the girl is not what she seems. Lotus is a secret keeper with a bind on her tongue. When one of the Merryweathers finds her unconscious in the woods, Betsy helps Lotus unravel her tongue, slowly learning the terrible truth about what her coven has been harbouring for years. *** This book features a fat, bee-keeping lesbian vampire, a pansexual well-demon in need of a haircut, and romantic elements (f/f & m/nonbinary). Although this book is a standalone, it features characters from the Not the Same River series, so reading both will provide a richer experience.
- Puddles in the Pavement: Tales from the Noctuary, #2
2
What horrors lurk in the puddles in the pavement? Archangels Uriel and Bel investigate when a distraught lady's fiancé falls into a puddle and doesn't come out. But he's not the only one to be dragged into mysterious depths. Foul games are afoot in Victorian London, where a well-demon is turned loose from his underground prison with one mission: to collect victims for the torturous games of an idle, immortal duke. When a single victim from each hunt is returned to their home, word spreads of a deadly wolf, who speaks with the voice of God, striking a new fear into the heart of London. Why was Lady Emilia's fiancé taken when he has nothing in common with the other puddle-snatched men? How can Uriel and Bel get him back? And where is that awful singing coming from? ~~~ This book features a duke with terrible table manners, a Home Secretary with a questionable appendage, and an exceptionally perky butler. This is book 2 of the historical mystery Tales from the Noctuary series, but it can be read as a standalone. It is part of the wider Cascade Apocrypha story world. Check out the Not the Same River series.
