Imagine
a
secret
world
veiled
in
fairy
glamour
and
brimming
with
unearthly
delights.
A
city
swarming
with
half-mad
fairies,
where
thieving
spriggans
rob you blind, beautiful
banshees mesmerise you with their song and big green trolls bust heads
at nightclubs. And once you're in, there's no escape...
In a city infested with
psychotic fairies and run by sadistic vampire
mafiosi, life as a soul-sucking succubus rarely involves lacy lingerie,
hot guys or great sex.
Enslaved by a demon lord,
Jade must spend her nights seducing vampire
gangsters and shapeshifting thugs. After two hundred years as a
succubus, she burns for freedom and longs to escape her brutal life as
a trophy girl for hell's minions.
Then, she meets Rajah, an
incubus who touches her heart and intoxicates
her senses. Rajah shares the same bleak fate as she, and yearns just as
desperately for freedom. But the only way for Jade to break her bonds
is to betray Rajah—and doom the only man she's ever loved to a lifetime
in hell.

Reviews
"This dark urban
fantasy is a seductive tale of alternate reality in
modern-day Melbourne. Hayes uses real settings as a backdrop as
gangsters and killers mix with well-defined supernatural characters in
an intriguing and tense first-person plot. Add in sizzling sex scenes
and dark humor and this one will take you on a wild ride."
--RT Reviews, four stars
Shadowfae
is a mind-bending blast into darkness
that enfolds and ensnares you from the first page... Pure magic from
the word go."
--Bitten By Books
"A thrilling and darkly erotic
tale of betrayal,
passion and redemption, Shadowfae
is a rich novel that will ensnare the
senses with lush prose and a deadly vision of the Fae that conjures
fairy tales of old."
--Caitlin Kittredge,
bestselling author of Street Magic and the
Nocturne City
series
"The author’s voice sank hooks in
me. The world is
vivid, yet gritty... it made me shiver and sigh. Reading this book was
like reading color straight off the page. Shadowfae has a taste I will
remember..."
--Hailey Edwards, author
of Everlong
"Erotic urban
fantasy at its most visceral, illuminating the splendor
and squalor of life on the edge. Laurell K. Hamilton's fans will enjoy
this."
