Hollow Ocean

Abandoned and left as an orphan, Wren Williams is on a search to find where she comes from-a difficult task since she's the only siren in The Hartlands, a city in The Upper Hollows. When Shifter Homicide Detective Kai, her friend's older brother, says he'll find her family, she jumps at the opportunity. While she's always sensed a level of attraction between them it was something Kai and Wren ignored for professional reasons because their jobs tend to overlap. When bodies with missing organs begin to show up at the morgue, Wren worries her first job as a forensic pathologist is colliding with her part-time job as a monster tracker. Then the unthinkable happens: a friend is murdered, intertwining Wren and Kai even more, taking them on a journey to solve the case. Can Wren find her family while juggling a possible relationship, solving murders, and tracking monsters? Or will she perish when the things that go bump come for her?

Vanessa Pearce has grown used to a life in poverty. After the death of her mother she had no choice but to move in with her father in order to provide for her son. Vanessa works hard at her dead-end job, one most people don't want, but in a world full of supernatural, extraordinary people, she'll never get anywhere as a human. That's the way it is, the way it's been for one hundred years, but what if it didn't have to be? The Human Lottery. A chance to win nine million dollars. The rules are simple, finish each challenge to move closer to the prize. It sounds too good to be true and chances are it probably is. But the chance to change it all is too good to pass up, too tempting not to try, not only for herself but for her son. The Human Lottery might test Vanessa in ways she never knew, but she'll do anything to win...
