I'm just another girl who survived foster care. Nothing special. Oh yeah, except for my earth shaking magic…But I've kept it under wraps, working in a restaurant, minding my own business. Until a frightened boy runs into the dinner shift followed by three fanged psychos.Imagine my surprise when I find out I'm not the only one working in the restaurant with magic. Together, we manage to help the kid, who turns out to be a very rare, pureblood vampire.Which would be cool if his father, Masera, wasn't a power-hungry megalomaniac.Now my magic is spinning out of control, and I'm wanted by both Masera and the paranormal government.With the help of Ash, my vampire coworker who is too pretty for his own good, I'm trying to get control of my magic. I would much rather be cuddling up in a coffin with him, but I doubt I'll get the chance.Because if Masera gets to me before I'm ready, I can kiss my not-so-normal life goodbye…

Dying every day sucks. As a phoenix, I'm no stranger to the cycle of death and rebirth, but there's nothing normal about this curse.It sure does make bounty hunting a bit easier though. If I die on the job, I come back after just a few seconds good as new, something I'm definitely going to need now that I've taken on this new mark.Max is charming, smooth, and like all bounties, insistent on his innocence. More frightening is the kindness I'm sure he's using to manipulate the situation. He's starting to see me, the real me, and I'm catching feelings when I'm supposed to contain him.I'm all set to deliver him up to a powerful member of the Paranormal Tribunal, who might be able to help me remove this curse. When I realize Max is definitely telling the truth, however, I have to decide whether to help him clear his name.If I don't, Max will die for a crime he didn't commit, but if I do, I'll lose my place in the Bounty Hunter's Guild, and possibly destroy my last hope of breaking my curse.Cursed: Out of Ash and Flame is an addictive YA urban fantasy!
