A Slayer's apprentice in peril. A deadly tournament. Roxy and her crew will risk it all to emerge victorious.

Roxy just wants her old job back, but destiny has other plans. The Slayers made their wishes clear, and now she's back to hustling repair jobs while dodging job offers from a certain prince. But her peaceful life doesn't last for long. O'Malley is still out there, and this time, he's pulled Roxy's old apprentice, Finn, into the Pit for a deadly tournament.

When Roxy's sensei tells her to get back in the game, she knows she can't say no. Joined by Cordelia and Dario, they set out to fight their way through the Pit to free Finn and claim the prize. But the stakes are high, and failure is not an option. The life of a Slayer trainee and the soul of the Drowned City Pack are on the line.

As Roxy and the gang enter the Pit, they quickly realize that they're in for a wild ride. They must battle fierce opponents, face dangerous challenges, and Roxy must tap into the heart of her Breaker magic to win the day and risk revealing her secret to all.

But Roxy is not one to give up easily. She and her friends are determined to succeed, no matter the cost. Will they be able to free Finn and take the prize, or will they fall to their enemies?

Join Roxy and the gang as they fight for the soul of Seattle. Get ready for more action, more magic, and more secrets.

Review

Praise for the Seattle Slayers series:

"...the world building is top notch. ... I recommend it to lovers of hard UF, supernatural action, and post apocalyptic themes. This is a winner!"

"I can't wait to read the next book on her journey!"

"If you love a strong female protagonist, action adventure, political machinations, you are in for a treat."

"It didn't take long for me to be immersed in this interesting world."

From the Inside Flap

The building had once been a school. A crumbling monument had long ago eroded to illegibility but the overgrown field and rusted playground equipment were a sure sign. Once I got inside, I could narrow the Renfields down through chokepoints and take them on in bite-sized, manageable portions.

Thor made quick work of a rusted chain holding the doors closed and I ran inside, slamming the door behind me. The linoleum floor of the hallway was half covered in slimy moss and half peeling up at the seams. The building smelled like stagnant water and rot. Above me the ceiling bowed in, ceiling panels swollen with water. Goddess this place was a death trap. What was I thinking?

The floor seemed to tilt under me and I clutched at the wall for support. My pulse pounded through my temples, the impact of the recoil still echoing in my brain. I had to keep moving. I pushed off the wall and staggered down the hallway.

I'd barely gone halfway down when the door behind me slammed open, the sound like a gunshot. The sound ignited a spark of pain in my ears that forced me to my knees. A Renfield entered the doorway and roared when he saw me. At the end of the hall, a set of double doors beckoned. On hands and knees I crawled for the door. I managed to get on my feet and slam my shoulder into the push bar and pop the door open. I ducked inside and pushed the door shut, bracing my feet on the slippery floor and wedging my shoulder into the door.

I looked around and quailed. I'd stumbled into the gym. A wide open space with skylights, windows on every wall, and worse, at least four other sets of doors. The Renfield in the hallway slammed into the door and my shoulder exploded with pain. I scrambled to get my feet back under me and hold the door before he could hit it again. As I was setting my shoulder I noticed dark shadows gathering at the windows, and one at the skylight.

Darkest night, I was going to die, surrounded by Renfields and all alone.

I had to get out of here. The door slammed into me again. The impact wrung a cry out of me but I bit it back and slammed the door closed again. I didn't wait for the Renfield to get himself reset. I bolted for the far door, praying I could make it outside.

Glass and metal splintered as windows caved in on all sides of me. Renfields burst in from either side and I poured on the speed, running for the opposite set of doors. The vampires howled and closed in for the kill.

The skylight shattered and glass rained down on me from above. I skidded to a stop as a shadow landed in a crouch in front of me. Splinters of glass dug into my legs as I tried to backpedal.

The dark form leapt at me and I ducked, even as I knew it would be useless. I braced myself for the feel of claws and fangs sinking into my flesh, and the bitter taste of failure. All I wanted was to go back home, and hug Ava and Jasper. And tell mom that I was sorry I'd failed her, failed dad.

5.0 out of 5 stars Roxy is back again - hammers and all!
Reviewed in the United States on April 5, 2023

In book three, we find Roxy trying to get herself back together after the major (to me) shock at the end of book two.

Kotori comes around to make sure Roxy isn’t shirking her duty to Finn, as something hasn’t been right with him since the end of book two. Knowing she can’t leave him on what seems to be a path of self destruction, she sets out with Kotori to see how they can fix things.

Throw in a tournament in the Pit, a psychotic vampire and his army of suped up Renfields, a dark Prince, and Kotori’s knowledge of her father’s past, and Roxy has herself an adventure.

Once again I’m left with so many questions - what really caused Samuel to leave the Slayers? What does Eloise forcefully try to get Tyee to share with Roxy? What is Roxy truly capable of? And where did O’Malley really get all his supplies/experiments?

What I love most in this book is the development of Roxy’s character. She really delves into what motivates her and where her heart lies - in Seattle or in Boston. She has to discern when friends become family and what is worth fighting for or leaving behind. We also see some growth of the side characters and I can’t wait to see even more of them!

I love the budding friendship/camaraderie between Kotori and Roxy, as well as Roxy learning how important she has become to Mrs. Chu and the shifter crew. I’m a little wary of Tanner and the Tarim, but we’ll see what happens next!

The major curveball at the end of this story makes me even more eager to dive into book four!

Now that Roxy is no longer a Slayer, she's adrift. It takes a surprise visit to get Roxy thinks about what she really wants and get her back "in the game." The plot continues to be interesting and moves along well.

5.0 out of 5 stars Can’t Wait for Book 4!
Reviewed in the United States on June 11, 2023
Ok this is my favorite installment yet and I am anxiously counting down the days until Book 4 is out! This book delivers more of the same we’ve come to expect from the series: page-turning action, great characters, and a deepening/widening mystery. It ties it all off with an incredible ending and I can’t wait to see what happens next!

5.0 out of 5 stars Oh, dear! Want the next one now!
Reviewed in the United States on April 3, 2023
I was excited to get this third book in the series as it, in a way, reminds me a little bit of the Ilona Andrews’ series with Kate Daniels. This third book in the series is an excellent addition. Roxy is torn with what to do with her life after the end of book two. In this book she does explore what her heart most desires. Add in Finn up to something not very good for him, her deepening relationship with her friends including a certain hunky vampire, and learning more about the past, I was engrossed until the end…where there was a shocking twist that is sure to play out in the next addition to the series. I can’t wait to see how this is going to change Roxy’s world. Highly recommend. I was provided a complimentary copy which I voluntarily reviewed.

She’s been thrown out and is resentful of the whole experience. However, she still has family and friends who belong and they aren’t willing to let her go. As she’s trying to figure out how or if she still fits in Seattle, a new problem lands at her door. Her former apprentice is in trouble and her sensei convinces her that’s it’s her duty to save him.
