What will happen when worlds collide?

Blurb

Maddox is just trying to get by. Navigating a world that’s not built for people like him—people who are different—can be hard, but he keeps his head down and muddles through. Until his strictly ordered life gets turned upside down by a sighting of something that just…should not exist.

Driven by their shared love of mysteries—and cryptids—Mads and his small group of equally outcast friends get pulled into the mystery of a lifetime. In this new reality, one where supernatural beings exist and the world might be ending, Mads somehow finds the confidence to throw himself headlong into the fray. Because nobody’s going to worry about how different he is when nothing is normal anymore.

Kisa has one mission: track his targets and dispense justice or rescue, depending on who he is pursuing. He was most certainly not supposed to become infatuated with the native creatures of this strange place—well, one in particular—yet he finds himself unable to stay away. When he begins to understand that Maddox and his friends have a part to play in all this madness, all he can do is go along for the ride and try to keep them all alive.

Dylan Hollie saved Christmas, not that he can tell anyone about it.

Blurb

Dylan Hollie saved Christmas, not that he can tell anyone about it.

Now all he has to worry about is finding out who killed the previous Santa and set everything in motion.

It should be easy enough. He’s got plenty of suspects. Between Santa’s ambitious relatives, who all think they could do a better job of filling out the red suit, and the impenetrable mire of Winter Court politics there were more people who wanted the jolly man dead than alive.

Right now the prime suspects are the Yule Lads. Santa’s magically contracted bodyguards; the Lads have been at this too many centuries to fail so comprehensively all at once.

Dropped into the middle of this, in a world he’d never believed in, Dylan has to try and work out who to trust, and that maybe the answer is no-one.

He’d also like to know if Santas ever retire. The benefits are good, and the health insurance is insane, but he definitely doesn’t want to be Santa this year!
