From the comic genius behind CHET GECKO comes a new kind of fairy tale hero -- and a big, bad, crime-solving adventure! The houses of all Three (not-so-) Little Pigs were broken into and ransacked, and the Pigs are squealing for justice. So Prince Tyrone, ruler of Fairylandia, drags in the obvious suspect: Wolfgang. The lone wolf has big teeth, sharp claws, no alibi -- and a single day to find the real culprit and clear his big bad name. When Wolf (reluctantly) teams up with the fourth Little Pig to crack the case, the Big Bad Detective Agency -- and an adventure way funnier than your average fairy tale -- is off to a howling start!

A fallen fairy godmother finds refuge in the arms of a wolf—until a series of murders threatens to break the spell—in this gritty paranormal romance. Thanks to a spell mis-cast by Lavender Seelie, Cinderella's former fairy godmother, Make Believe characters have been cast into the ordinary world. Now that the Tales are flesh and blood, their storybook lives aren’t so simple. But fortunately for Lavender, she's about to get a second chance at a happy ending. The Refuge, a sanctuary for wayward Tales, seems like the perfect place for Lavender to start a new life—especially when she discovers an unexpected ally in Seth, the brooding werewolf who's been typecast as a villain ever since his run in with Little Red Riding Hood. But when humans from nearby towns start turning up dead, their bodies mutilated with archaic Tale symbols, Lavender wonders if Seth's deep sensuality has blinded her to a deadly reality.

Book Description

For Kylie Hood, dreaming of Trevor Grimm is a fantasy, a way to escape her cruel reality. So, when he asks for her help with a school project, sparks will fly and they'll fall madly in love, right?Not in this fairy tale.Enter Logan Grimm, Trevor's mysterious and sexy older cousin. He's going to lure Kylie into his world and make her question everything she has ever known. She'll learn all about first kisses, first loves, and true love. She'll witness the most damaged friendships as they try to mend, and drown in a darkness she tried so very hard to hide. Worst of all, the cruelest of bad boys will be there to drag her through the most unspeakable truths. Then, before she can run, he'll throw her down the rabbit hole that is the very heart of her fairytale town. This fairy tale is a trap. This is not a sweet story. This is the brutal truth of what really happened when the girl under the red hood met the big bad wolf.*WHO'S AFRAID OF THE BIG BAD WOLF? is the fourth Gods & Monsters Novel but can be read as a standalone. If you'd like to embrace the depth and magic that made this fairy tale possible-and meet some irresistible immortal men-it's recommended to read the entire Gods & Monsters trilogy first. It won't seem these stories are connected, as G&M is an epic paranormal romance set in a different Earth, but I promise it makes sense once you join them together. Then . . . you'll see my magic.*Contains triggers, rape, abuse, sex, strong language, dark themes

"Charlie Adhara once again delivers a clever, fast-moving, intriguing and twisty mystery." —All About Romance Don’t miss this thrilling installment in Charlie Adhara’s suspenseful paranormal mystery series, Big Bad Wolf. Agent Cooper Dayton never thought anything could be harder than solving murders. Until he had to plan a wedding. After taking down an old adversary, Agent Cooper Dayton of the Bureau of Special Investigations has earned a break. Not that planning a wedding to his sexy shifter partner, Oliver Park, is necessarily stress free, but it’s better than worrying about the ominous warning, delivered months ago, that Cooper’s life is in danger. When he’s dragged to an event by his family, Cooper braces for an awkward evening, but instead finds himself in the middle of an ugly feud between Park’s ex and a rebel pack leader. What was supposed to be a quick outing turns into a full-blown murder investigation after the pack leader ends up dead, Park’s ex goes missing, and Cooper and Park are sent a series of disturbing wedding gifts that are somehow connected to it all. The list of potential suspects is long, and with the bodies piling up, Cooper must turn to the one person he trusts the least: the villain he’s already put behind bars once and who has nothing to lose by lying and everything to gain if Cooper is out of the picture—for good.
