Keeper of the Dawn by Heather Graham
The Keepers: LA, #4 (Published 7/1/13)
  Keeper of the Dawn (The Keepers: L.A., #4)In their new Keeper roles, these extraordinary women must balance the fate of the world with their desires… Alessande Salisbrooke has been warned about the legend of the old Hildegard Tomb—how human sacrifices are being carried out by the followers of a shape-shifting magician. As a Keeper, Alessande understands the risks of investigating, but she can't shake the nagging feeling that the killings are tied to a friend's recent murder, and she can't turn her back. With the help of Mark Valiente, a dangerously sexy vampire cop, Alessande narrowly escapes becoming a sacrifice herself. But as the bodies continue piling up, completely drained of blood, one truth becomes all too clear: life is an illusion, and no one—not even those you care about the most—is who they seem.

A Beauty In Chains Seized for the auction block, Chloe Todd is forced to enter a terrifying new world of monsters and lore as a bound slave.

A Full Moon On The Rise With enemies circling, MacRieve spirits Chloe away to the isolated Highland keep of his youth. But once he takes her to his bed, his sensual mate becomes something more than human, evoking his savage past and testing his sanity.

  A Cursed Embrace by Cecy Robson Weird Girls, #2 A Cursed Embrace (Weird Girls, #2)

But fame comes at a price, and being “weird” isn’t always welcome. To make matters worse, Celia desires the love of Alpha werewolf Aric, but his pack is bent on destroying their relationship to preserve his pureblood status. And once weres start turning up dead—with evidence pointing to the vampires—she must face the prospect of losing Aric forever. But the chaos only masks a new threat.
