Fangs so bright & deadly

Book - 2024

"Marie Xiao lives a double life, moonlighting as a freelance consultant in corporate Seattle even as she dedicates herself-and her powers as a witch-to chasing down objects of myth and magic before they can be used to harm humankind. She carefully guards the bridges between worlds and has never once been tempted to stray. Until she catches the eye of a pair-bonded kitsune and gumiho. Japanese and Korean fox demons Yamamoto Kuro and Joseph Choe have been hoping to cross paths with Marie since their first chance meeting at an artifact retrieval gone decidedly wrong. They may work for the chaotic Babel-enemy to Marie's own Darke Consortium-but they don't see any reason why they can't mingle a little work and play...especial...ly when a (literal) dead man waltzes into their impromptu reunion, raising intriguing questions about a deeper magic that may be afoot. Temporarily teaming up, the trio investigate the unusual unrest...but as loyalties begin to shift and lines blur. Kuro, Joe, and Marie may find themselves at the precipice of something none of them are prepared to face...or deny"--

Review by Library Journal Review

This follow-up to last year's Wings Once Cursed & Bound continues the adventures of Seattle's Darke Consortium, made up of supernaturals dedicated to taking mythical and mystical objects out of the hands of clueless mundanes and evil creatures alike. Green witch Marie Xiao is on the trail of a mysterious Egyptian artifact capable of gaining information from beyond death. So are Joe and Kuro--and for the wrong side; at least, until the curse brings these mythical foxes to Marie's door in hope of help, healing, rescue, and perhaps the love they've all been waiting for, if they can get the curse and the villains off all their backs. The urban fantasy element of the "Mythwoven" series introduces readers to a host of less-frequently explored myths, magic, and monsters from Asian mythology. Then it adds in treasure hunting, the dangerous storage aspects of Stargate and Warehouse 13, and a sweet, hot romance that gives its protagonists an unexpected but elegant triad HEA. VERDICT Recommended for readers who like their urban fantasy to explore new magic or paranormal romance readers looking for something magical in their happy-ever-afters.--Marlene Harris
