This book started out with the idea of a trilogy but it is becoming more apparent to me every day that three books just won't do. There will more than likely be 4-5 main books in the series but I'm also kicking around the idea of at least three novellas and a full novel based on Mace's former life. Oh, and a possible spin-off series revolving around characters you'll meet in book 2. (less)

There Can Be Only One

I’m excited to finally be able to announce an event my team has been creating for months; the biggest contest we’ve ever done.My readers are always claiming their allegiance to one of the four factions in my books: The Reapers, The Shifters, The Fae or The Witches.

Quotes by Martina McAtee  (?)

“In Kai’s defense, it was hard to forget a six-foot-six slab of muscle that shadowed your every move. It was especially hard when they wore their shirts tight enough to count their abs and smelled like rain and sex and poor life choices. He closed his eyes, attempting to regulate his teenage hormones and wildly thumping heart before Rhys smelled it on him.”
Martina McAtee, Children Shouldn't Play with Dead Things

“Stay out of my closet.” “No problem,” he said. “It’s not like there’s enough room for both of us anyway.”
Martina McAtee, Children Shouldn't Play with Dead Things

“She could write a book on daddy issues.”
