Kasey's Books
Hello, fellow bookworms and fantasy lovers! Or so I assume since you’ve wandered into my little corner of the Internet...
​
Where human Phoenixes are reborn in fire and find love with the sexy Dragons of their dreams. Where wicked Witch Queens keep trophy rooms full of beating hearts and cast dark curses. Where fiery psychics with out-of-control powers tangle with fallen angels seeking redemption–who they are most definitely not supposed to fall in love with.
​
And that’s just the start of the twists and turns with magic that burns!

​
"A fantastic, wild ride of a debut. I couldn't put it down!" --Nalini Singh, New York Times Bestselling Author of the Psy-Changeling and Guild Hunter Series
As a Fury, Marissa Holloway belongs to an Arcane race that has avenged wrongdoing since time immemorial. As Boston's chief magical investigator for the past five years, she's doing what she was born to do: solve supernatural crimes.
But Riss's investigation into a dead sister Fury leads to her being inexplicably suspended from her job. And to uncover the truth behind this cover-up, she'll have to turn to her shape-shifting Warhound ex for help.
Book 2
[E]ngrossing sequel to 2010's Red Hot Fury...Mackenzie's writing is clean and clever; the plot is twisty and intriguing; and Riss's charm and sass elevate her above many other fantasy heroines. --Publishers Weekly Starred Review
​
​
When the bodies of cat shape-shifters start piling up in Boston's magical underbelly, Chief Magical Investigator Marissa Holloway finds one common thread that ties the victims together: all were old flames of FBI Agent Harper Cruz.
And since Marissa's lover Scott Murphey once enjoyed a one-night stand with Harper, the Fury has twice the incentive to crack the case wide open before the killer's green-eyed gaze turns in Scott's direction.
Book 3
From the acclaimed author of Green-Eyed Envy comes a tumultuous tale of unrest among the Furies...
As Boston’s Chief Magical Investigator, Riss Holloway has been responsible for solving any crimes committed by or against supernaturals. But now she’s taking a leave of absence from the Boston PD and heading home to focus on her duties as a Fury: like assisting her mother with an unsettling friction brewing in the Sisterhood, a faction of Furies sworn to serve all the Deities equally.
These days, someone is playing favorites, drawing Riss into a tumultuous civil war embroiling every god and goddess. What was once a precept, to stand as a united whole policing arcanekind for millennia, has been divided by something Riss never imagined—and choosing sides could be the most dangerous move she’s ever made.
