“Is that you, Blue?” The phone crackled with static. “. . . Izzy . . . there?”
“Yeah, it’s Blue,” I said. “Izzy’s asleep. What do you want?”
The phone cut in and out, and for a second I thought I’d lost him. “Peyton? You still there?”
“. . . missing ... looked everywhere ... help . . .”
“Can you repeat that?” I gripped the phone tighter. “You’re breaking up.”
A second later his voice burst from the phone. “Clayton’s missing. I’ve looked everywhere, but no one has seen him. It’s like he vanished into thin air like all those other fairies.” He paused, voice thick with tears. “Please, Blue, you have to find my brother.”

THE FAIRYLAND MURDERS
A Deadly Ever After Mystery
Not all endings are happy ...
Blue Reynolds knows the darker side of New Never City—the side
that’s hopped-up on fairy dust and doesn’t care if your house gets
blown down. Rent’s due and his PI business is all but make-believe.
But even Blue shudders at having to chase after Isabella Davis, a
freckle-nosed redhead five feet tall on her tiptoes . . . if you don’t
count the pretty pink wings.
Izzy is tough, and sneaky, and not too thrilled with the idea of being
the new Tooth Fairy. The last six have been most gruesomely
extracted. But Blue has a feeling that whoever is killing the Tooth
Fairies is worse than your standard big bad psycho. The Fairy
Council is hiding something. The Shadows are moving out into the
light. And Blue is saddled with a shocking power that could take out
half of New Never City ...
CURSES!
I’m no hero. In fact, up until a couple of days ago, I was the villain.
Kidnapped maidens, scared kids, stole magic tchotchkes—until I
got into a little scrape with the union. Now I’m cursed with the
worst fate in New Never City—no matter what I do, I gotta be nice.
So when a head-case princess named Asia barges into my apartment
and asks me to find out who whacked her stepsister, Cinderella, I
have no choice but to help her. And I’m more than willing to head
back to her parents’ castle and do some investigating if it means I
can get into her black leather catsuit. Except this twisted sister has a
family nutty enough to send the biggest baddest wolf running for
the hills—and a freaky little curse of her own ...
“More than f***ed-up. Demented. Hilarious.”
—Mario Acevedo, author of Werewolf Smackdown
“Forget everything you know about Cinderella. J.A. Kazimer sets the record straight with humor and a hell of an imagination!”
—Jeanne C. Stein, national bestselling author
“A thoroughly fun read.”
—Nicole Peeler, author of the Jane True series
FROGGY STYLE
It ain’t easy being green ...
Jean-Michel La Grenouille has a lot going for him. He’s a prince.
Handsome. Filthy rich. And definitely charming. But he also spent
his first few years as a fly-catching, pond-dwelling frog. All that
saved him was the kiss of the One, the girl who saw nobility through
his slimy form and fell into True Love. Okay, fine. Technically she
was a toddler who tried to eat him, but whatever. The curse broke,
and as long as he finds and marries her by his thirtieth birthday, he’s
a free man.
Trouble is, he’s going to be thirty in ten days, and he’s getting some
seriously cold-blooded feet. He’s pretty sure Princess Sleeping
Beauty is the One. But his best man has some villain issues, his
in-laws-to-be belong in a really special castle, and a smoking-hot
lady biker named Lollie Bliss has him rethinking all this
happily-ever-after stuff. Oh, and he may have accidentally put
out a hit on his blushing bride. Oopsie.
