How to Werewolf #37You can try and outrun your problems but you can't outrun the full moon Someone, or something, is preying on the good people of Carlsbad, New Mexico. Rivers of blood, piles of corpses, that sort of thing. Freshly-sired werewolf Jason Harrison suspects he's the aforementioned one, or thing, responsible. Which would be a great reason not to stick around...only there's a guy. And not just any guy. Zach Holtz is struggling with his own problems. True, they're strictly of the non- supernatural variety, but they've forced him out of college and put his life on hold. The last thing either of them expected was to meet, fall in love, have to survive vampires, a prophecy, parents, an ex-boyfriend, and well...each other. Running away from problems is never the best course of action. Stopping to face them is good, but running toward someone is even better.

The accords are poison. A treaty that exists in name only. The witches have retreated. The vampires are a starving underclass. And the wolves. Well...they've been all but house-trained. But these are monsters. Creatures who thrive on destruction. On chaos. On death. Offensive and unnatural. Much like this festering agreement and the man who made them a reality. Time to tear them apart. The accords and their pathetic peace. ______________________________________________________________ Following the ordeal with the Cult, a new evil rises intent on destroying the Pack War accords, With the Pack Lord a shell of his former self, a wolf turned traitor, and McLachlan in love, the destruction will be glorious. Destruction is healthy after all. It cleans out the weak, does away with the old, and allows for a fresh start. No one ever sees it coming. That's the best part. The surprise in their eyes when delivering a killing blow. Destruction is necessary. Destruction is coming.

It all comes down to this. Run and hide? Or turn and fight? Thing is, does he tell Rebecca about the dead body, where her shot friend is being hidden, why his friend is decidedly more hirsute than normal...or save that *for* a second date. That is if they all live long enough for a second date. And time isn't on his side. With the Cult hunting him, McLachlan is left with few options. Especially if he wants to play hero and stop them using someone else as a vessel for the demon Mammon. "The Space Between" is the third book in The Cups Triptych and starts immediately at the close of the previous book - "How to be Dead" (five stars on Amazon - little generous but not complaining). "The Space Between" follows Rebecca as she finds a better sense of herself in a very strange new world amid new people. All the while McLachlan heads for a confrontation that's been 23 years in the making. So grab your robe, light your best demon-summoning scented candle, and hunker down for the final installment. If you haven't checked out the previous books in the triptych, do you yourself a solid and jump in.

That could have gone better, McLachlan thought. With the Cult of the Eighth House once again in possession of the Cups, all looks lost for our caustic hero. And that's not all McLachlan has on his mind. Matteo's angry about the showdown with the Cult henchmen, vampires are prowling, he has a first date later in the day...and there's a dead body behind his favorite coffee shop. Meanwhile, Rebecca is unsure whether agreeing to said date was such a good idea. She was just getting to a good place in her life - a new role as college teaching assistant, closure on a couple of major chapters, finally regaining her voice...and somehow there's a dead body behind her favorite coffee shop. Haunted by the failures of their previous relationships, self-doubt gnaws at them. How can he involve someone he cares about in his life when there's a demonic cult, surly vampires, charming werewolves, a dead body, and he pretty much offends anyone and everyone he comes into contact with? And how is she blindly going on a date with a guy she met over the phone who doesn't sleep, keeps odd hours, and knows way too much about soap opera plotlines? "How to Be Dead", the second book in The Cups Triptych, picks up shortly after the first book - "Building a Mystery" (out now, pretty good, tell your friends) - ended. "How to Be Dead" follows both McLachlan and Rebecca as they (finally) come together while charting his estrangement from Dylan some 12 years ago.

New wolf. Dead wolf. Loose wolf. Undead wolf. The Accords have failed. Colton has won, his merry band of miscreants growing around him, an age of destruction at hand. Meanwhile McLachlan's staring down the barrel of another Pack War, Matteo's on the back foot with his greatest secret exposed, Jason's adjusting to his new hirsute lifestyle, and Rebecca's...heading to Whole Foods?

The Pack Lord is dead. Blood flows like water. Tears like rain. With the death toll soaring, the madness threatens to spread to the mortal world. A motley band of outsiders is all that stands against the threat of werewolf domination. Waseme, a vengeful vampire, Dominic, a werewolf pariah, and Daniel, a recovering dark mage, lead the rebellion against the bloodshed. If they hope to survive they'll have to rely on former-demon vessel, McLachlan, to unite the supernaturals. An impossible task given centuries of hatred and death.

Werewolves and witches and vampires, oh my! There are some stains you just can't get out - coffee, red wine, demonic possession*. It's that last one, you're about to discover, leaves the worst mark. As a child Russell McLachlan was kidnapped by a secret cult to be the vessel for their demon lord. Stained by the demon, McLachlan has been after the cult ever since. Now several years later an artifact from that ritual surfaces has surfaced...he wants it. Despite the better judgment of his friends, Matteo - the werewolf Pack Lord, and Rowan, a pure of heart Wiccan. Meanwhile, Rebecca Miller is working the midnight to dawn shift at NYU's college station trying to get her life back in order. Which would be great if she hadn't developed an interest in one of her audience members. That being the mysterious yet funny Russell McLachlan. Building a Mystery follows both of their stories, introducing friends and enemies as McLachlan tries to recover the artifact and Rebecca struggles to regain a healthier sense of herself. Their stories are intercut with flashbacks of McLachlan's youth, and his journey through adolescence as a troubled boy. All the while, keeping up a steady stream of banter and urban adventure, as McLachlan protects modern day New York from things that go bump in the night.This is the first book in The Cups Triptych where the Cult of Eighth House re-enter McLachlan's life at the same time as he wants to start living properly. Feeling like she has lost her voice in the world, Rebecca wants to be heard. And not just by those who tune into the radio show. *Please note: this book is not a domestic guide to stubborn stains and the perils of misunderstanding those laundry symbols on clothing tags. Just thought I should clear that up.
