A New England academic uncovers a dangerous world of witches in this “engrossing” thriller from the New York Times–bestselling author of The Art Forger (Mystery News). See No Evil is a supernatural thriller about witchcraft, reincarnation, and murder in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The story opens as Lauren Freeman touches the worn leather binding of The Chronicle of the Coven. She sees a flash of knives and hears a strange chorus of voices in her head. Lauren is undeterred. A newly divorced single mother, she is a graduate student in history writing a book about American witch trials with her professor Jackie Pappas. Lauren needs the money the book will bring. Its focus is a mysterious event that took place in 1692 when seven convicted “witches” vanished from their prison cells on the eve of their executions and were never seen again. Lauren and Jackie’s research begins to uncover bizarre reports. Then, suddenly, Jackie is dead, and Lauren is left to write their book alone. Lauren knows that Jackie was murdered and that if she is not careful, she will be next. Lauren’s battle to avenge Jackie’s death and save her own life takes her from Wiccan festivals to ancient cemeteries to the bowels of dark libraries. After her son’s kidnapping, multiple murder attempts, and a chase through labyrinthine subway tunnels, Lauren finally confronts the perpetrator of these horrific events and acknowledges that, even in the everyday, things are often not as they seem.
Not all who wander are lost. As Justice of the Arcana Council and an experienced artifact hunter, Tarot-reading Sara Wilde prefers to track down the missing on her own. With her latest case, unfortunately, everyone's dying to help her out. Determined to locate the Lost Queen, a witch destined to fulfill a dark and twisted prophecy, Sara finds herself corpse-blocked at every turn. Not even the electric, provocative, and deeply powerful Magician of the Arcana Council--whose newest arcane pursuits test Sara's emotional and sensual boundaries--can help her find her mark. Worse, Sara isn't the only hunter on the case. From the shadowy labyrinths of Budapest to the ancient churches of Moscow to the glittering lights of Los Angeles, the world's most powerful male witches are gunning for the Lost Queen, demanding her as their rightful consort. Right before they end up dead, each more gruesomely than the last. There's definitely a pattern here...and one Sara needs to break, before her own mercurial Magician becomes the prophecy's next target. Better hope you don't find what you're looking for when you hunt The Lost Queen.

The last thing I wanted to do was die—well, second to last. The only thing worse than being dead was being undead. Which meant - becoming a vampire. Five months after a tragic event, Maer Whisler is determined to escape the vampire town of Sanlow, where she is forced to battle in an arena as entertainment. Meanwhile, Koen Blackwood, a fellow fighter, has developed a liking to her. But when a jealous vampire takes advantage of that, soon the two are sold as slaves at a black market auction. Together—and with a few friends—they eventually manage to flee Sanlow. But as they search for a safe haven before they're pursued by the covens, Maer and Koen experience strange happenings—pentagrams that glow blue, a pattern of triangles seeming to show up wherever they are, and weapons that they're able to set on fire. Will they manage to find sanctuary? Or will they find themselves a part of a secret rebellion to eradicate all vampires?
