Vampires don't get happily ever afters.Jack Valentine finally has her shit together. She has a great job, great friends (well, one at least) and a girlfriend whom she loves, even if she can't work up the courage to tell her that yet. Unfortunately, she also has an archnemesis who's about to punish her crimes in the worst possible way: by making her spend time with him.Which she could cope with, maybe, if she didn't have problems at work as well. When the body of a human judge is found in a locked library, there's no denying that she was murdered by one of the Silver – by a vampire – and the evidence points worryingly close to home. If that wasn't bad enough, some of Jack's least favourite people are opening a new blood bar in Oxford with questionable motives. For Jack and her team, it's becoming increasingly hard to separate allies from enemies.With conspiracies on every side, the simmering tensions in Silver society are about to come to a head. As usual, Jack intends to be right in the middle of it. She does like it when things get messy.Judgement Day is the second book in Josie Jaffrey's Seekers series, an urban fantasy series set in Oxford, England.

Vampires are hardwired to kill. Is it any wonder that some become experts?Jack Valentine is in trouble. The Seekers are living on borrowed time, her ex-girlfriend has gone missing in suspicious circumstances, and someone's sent her a seriously twisted love letter attached to a hanged man. It's not that she doesn't appreciate the sentiment, and sure, the guy deserved everything he got, but even Jack knows that expressions of affection don't usually involve murder.It's not the first time Jack's questionable romantic choices have caused problems. Her latest disaster ended with her nemesis, Drake, buggering off to Europe on an extended sexcation, leaving her to face the consequences of the worst walk-of-shame of her life alone. Dealing with that was bad enough, but now her fellow Seekers are poking their noses into Jack's love life in a case that threatens to be their last.Jack has two options: toe the line or go rogue. And with her team falling apart around her, rebellion's starting to sound pretty sweet.Winta's Day is the third book in Josie Jaffrey's Seekers series, an urban fantasy series set in Oxford, England.

Fire isn't the only thing that can make a vampire burn.Jack Valentine is no stranger to a manhunt, but usually she's the one doing the hunting. In retrospect, maybe her assassination attempt on the Primus – the most powerful Silver in existence – was a mistake. She probably shouldn't have murdered her ex-girlfriend either, however necessary it seemed at the time. But if Jack could take back only one thing from that awful night, it would be telling Killian Drake that she... sort of likes him.On the run from the Primus's guards and fearing retribution from at least three different directions, Jack has no option but to lie low. For a disaster-magnet like her, that's one hell of an ask, but she'd stay in hiding forever if it meant she could avoid Drake.Unfortunately, she didn't walk away from her murderous endeavours unscathed. With poison in her veins, Jack is now very literally hot-blooded, and getting hotter all the time. She needs Drake's healing kisses to keep herself from going up in flames, which forces them into just the kind of proximity she's trying to avoid.One way or another, someone's about to get burned.Valentine's Day is the fourth book in Josie Jaffrey's Seekers series, an urban fantasy series set in Oxford, England.
