Bon, soyons clairs : Ivy Wilde n'est pas une héroïne. C'est même la dernière personne que vous contacteriez si vous aviez besoin d'une aide magique, malgré ses talents. Si ça ne tenait qu'à elle, Ivy passerait ses journées affalée dans le canapé, devant la télé, paquets de chips en main, à papoter avec son familier félin jusqu'à ce que mort s'ensuive. Mais quand elle se retrouve victime d'une erreur d'identité, elle est embarquée malgré elle à la Branche Arcane, le département d'investigation de l'Ordre Hermétique du Crépuscule d'Or.

Barely recovered from her brush with necromancy, Ivy is flung once more into a world of intrigue, adventure, and potential death and disaster. It's not her fault - it just so turns out that she's now the only person in the entire world who can communicate with the dead. And they're a chatty bunch with a list of demands.

When the ghosts offer information about a witch-hating mass murderer in return for Ivy's help, she has no choice but to get involved. She might be getting herself into more trouble than she realizes, though - and that's even before she's dragged to Sunday dinner so...

Let's get one thing straight - Ivy Wilde is not a heroine. In fact she's probably the last witch in the world you'd call if you needed a magical helping hand, regardless of her actual abilities. If it were down to Ivy, she'd spend all day every day on her sofa, where she could watch TV, munch junk food, and talk to her feline familiar to her heart's content. However, when a bureaucratic disaster ends up with Ivy as the victim of a case of mistaken identity, she's yanked very unwillingly into Arcane Branch.

Ivy Wilde, the laziest witch in the West, is still entangled with the Hallowed Order of Magical Enlightenment. That's not a bad thing, however, because it gives her plenty of excuses to spend more time with sapphire-eyed Raphael Winter, her supposed nemesis. And when he comes knocking because he needs her to spy on the latest series of Enchantment, she jumps at the chance. Hanging around a film set can't be hard - or dangerous - right?

Daisy Carter knows she's not anyone special. She might be brave and resourceful. She might possess a touch more magic than your average low elf. But, when it comes down to it, she's just another delivery driver trying to make a living. Admittedly, life would be easier without her addiction to a dangerous drug called spider's silk—but she's got her reasons for that. Nobody's perfect. However, Daisy's world changes when she crosses paths with Hugo Pemberville, the celebrated high elf who's well known for being an accomplished treasure hunter.

You would think December would be Ivy's ideal time of year. After all, festivities abound and witches everywhere are encouraged to put their feet up and relax. That's not quite the case when she has various Order members attempting to finagle her into Christmas activities and a special artifact from the top of the Christmas tree goes missing. Either someone is attempting to sabotage Winter or something very strange is afoot indeed.

Helen Harper presents Book 3 in the Thrill of the Hunt series.

I should be celebrating. Hell, I should be the happiest elf in the world. Unfortunately, I can’t revel in my successes when there’s a foul fiend who is relentlessly trying to lure me to his side. He won’t leave me in peace and he seems determined to plunge the country into chaos to get what he wants, using bloodshed, fear and malevolent magic. Still, I’m no stranger to stubbornness. If I can turn the tables and become the hunter instead of the hunted, I might have a chance.

Yeah, I'm a treasure hunter. No, I'm not rich. Or busy. Or successful. Not yet. I'm doing my very best at making a living in my newfound career. I've got magic, a pair of brownie sidekicks, and enough ambition to fill every chilly corner of Edinburgh castle. What I don't have is any actual treasure to hunt. However, when a young girl asks me for help, I end up embroiled in a deeply dangerous search for an ancient magical artifact. Unfortunately, I'm not the only one who wants to find it.

Kit McCafferty has never been fond of vampires but she can't refuse the opportunity to learn more about their kind. When she is invited into the clandestine underground world of the Understream to investigate the mysterious disappearance of some giant worms, she soon discovers there is far more to the fanged creatures than she'd ever realized. Danger, secrets, and mysteries abound in every dark, twisting tunnel. Is there anyone in the depths who Kit can trust? Or will she have to rely on her wits—and her cats—alone?

Gerade als die junge Ermittlerin Emma Bellamy denkt, dass sie ihre Vergangenheit und ihre Phönix-Kräfte verstanden hätte, wird ihr Leben erneut durcheinandergewirbelt. Sie hat die Fähigkeit erhalten, kurze Momente aus der Zukunft zu sehen. Nicht nur kann Emma diese magische Kraft nicht richtig kontrollieren, auch ihr Partner, der attraktive Vampirlord Lukas Horvath, ist alles andere als angetan von dieser neuen Entwicklung. Jemand behauptet, der wahre Phönix zu sein, und wirft Emma Betrug vor.

Mairi Wallace has faced terrible dangers since she discovered her magical abilities. But she's never experienced anything as hazardous as this. An unfamiliar peril has arisen and suddenly the Mages are no longer the biggest threat to Scotland's future. A new King, with the Afflicted hordes at his beck and call, is claiming her country for his own. From the towering battlements at Edinburgh Castle to the sweeping streets of Glasgow, Mairi and her friends are going to have to draw on every scrap of power they have.

Everything is falling apart. I've been cursed with the ability to catch glimpses of the future. It's a power which Lukas despises but it's one that I can't seem to get rid of. I'm also in trouble at work. Somebody else is claiming that they are the one true phoenix and that my entire existence is built on lies. At least I have a cold case to investigate which will take my mind off my woes. Investigating the mysterious disappearance of an entrepreneurial gremlin is bound to keep me busy and focused—and surely nothing else is going to go wrong and nobody is going to get hurt.

Eine Reise in die Vergangenheit bringt nicht immer, was man erwartet... Emma Bellamy hat schon viel erlebt, seit sie zur Supernatural Squad versetzt wurde. Nach den Ermittlungen gegen Werwölfe und Vampire und der Erkundung ihrer eignen unerwarteten magischen Fähigkeiten, scheint sie nun endlich ihren Platz in der Welt der Londoner Sups gefunden zu haben. Das liegt nicht zuletzt an dem attraktiven Vampirlord Lukas Horvath, für den sie mittlerweile mehr als nur körperliche Anziehung empfindet.

A twisted killer is making his mark in London, leaving a trail of blood and devastation in his wake. It's not only humans who are being targeted. Vampires, werewolves, and pixies are in mortal danger too. I've been called in to help with the investigation but I can't shake the feeling that there's more to the murders. Someone is playing a very sick game—and it's up to me to put a stop to it.

Si quelqu'un peut comprendre ce que reposer en paix veut dire, c'est bien Ivy. Enfin, "se" reposer en paix, en tout cas. Tout juste remise sur pied après son affrontement macabre avec un nécromancien, Ivy est de nouveau plongée dans un monde de mystère, d'aventure, et de désastre imminent. C'est pas de sa faute: apparemment, elle est désormais la seule personne au monde à pouvoir communiquer avec les morts. Et malheureusement pour elle, ils ont la langue bien pendue et une grosse liste de réclamations.

Mack parviendra-t-elle à découvrir d'où elle vient ? Mack entame sa formation à l'académie des mages, en espérant que si elle se plie aux règles, ils accepteront de lever le sortilège de stase qui emprisonne sa vieille amie, Mme Alcoon. Mais une fois arrivée là-bas, elle se retrouve entourée de professeurs hostiles et d'élèves désagréables, dont la grande majorité semble bien décidée à la voir échouer.

All across Scotland, the resistance movement is growing in both strength and numbers. For the first time in five generations, the Mages are afraid—and it's all because of one woman. But Mairi knows where the real power lies and that it is the Mages who maintain control of the country. She has become the poster girl for the resistance and her magic is growing stronger by the day. That doesn't mean, however, that she has any real chance of succeeding against the might of the Mages. And yet strange things are afoot.

Ein neuer Tag - viele neue Rätsel. Endlich scheint sich im Leben von Emma Bellamy so etwas wie Ruhe einzuschleichen. Die kleine Abteilung der Supernatural Squad gewinnt langsam an Einfluss, die Vampire und Werwölfe von London beginnen sie zu respektieren und endlich hat sie das Gefühl, dass sie überhaupt weiß, was sie in ihrer neuen Position tun soll. Doch Emma hat keine Zeit, Atem zu holen, denn ein Vampir klettert auf das London Eye und drei Werwölfe entführen einen Touristenbus.

Moteur. Ça tourne... Inaction ! Ivy Wilde, paresseuse sorcière de l'Ouest et addict de la Sieste, est toujours obligée de faire copain-copain avec le Saint Ordre des Lumières Magiques. Ce qui n'est pas si mal, hein, vu que ça lui donne un prétexte du tonnerre pour passer plus de temps avec Raphaël Winter, son pseudo-Némésis aux yeux saphir. Et quand il toque à sa porte en lui demandant d'aller jouer l'espionne sur le tournage de sa série préférée, Enchantement, elle saute sur l'occasion. Glander sur un plateau télé, c'est sûrement pas difficile.
