So first, let me introduce you to the first book in the series, I'LL BE DAMNED, by Casey Keen, published by Nevermore Press, October 2013.
A sister kidnapped.And now for an excerpt:
An impending war between Heaven and Hell looming around the corner.
A Grand Witch who has no idea what she is.
The Prince of Darkness’s obsession in claiming her.
Two sinfully gorgeous men pulling her in two different directions.
As the owner of the coffee shop Déjà Brew in Savannah, Georgia, Anna thought her life was ordinary. That is until her sister is kidnapped by a demon, prompting two handsome men to march into her life unexpectedly. Valen, the sinfully gorgeous, overprotective werewolf who is Anna’s sworn guardian and Roman, the most handsome and powerful Warlock in the entire Netherworld.
Suddenly, her world is stripped of everything she knows and replaced with frightening news about who she really is - a powerful Grand Witch. Now, it’s up to her to draw out her dormant magic, rescue her sister and stop an impending heavenly war threatening to eradicate the human race all while staying alive.
...Searing, damp
stones press into my cheek, squishing my other eye closed. I sit up, wiping the
nasty grime off my face. The slickness of it makes me wince. God knows what it
is. I try to take a deep breath, but fail. Breathing is a chore in the dense,
blistering air. It feels like I'm inhaling globs of boiling water. I stand,
allowing my limbs time to regain their balance. Suddenly, I'm running down a
passageway without any light to guide me... Thousands of butterflies take
flight in my stomach as a current of air swiftly engulfs me. I'm falling at a
high rate of speed, like the dip in a roller coaster, minus the excitement and
safety harnesses. I try to scream, but panic hijacks my voice. I hit the bottom
hard, miraculously unscathed.
I stand, wiping a
sticky substance off my jeans. I try not to dwell on it. Lifting my arms, I
extend them in front of me, searching for a doorway. My hands grope over the hundreds
of clammy bricks surrounding me like the bottom of a well. In the loud silence,
I hear my name, but Janie isn’t calling me. This voice is lower than a whisper,
almost inaudible. Am I losing my mind? Confinement in closed quarters and pitch-black
darkness have been known to do that. Again, I hear my name... Anna... It echoes off the tightly
enclosed walls, and smacks my ears. It grows louder before abruptly stopping. A
velvet voice soothes my sore ears, but makes me jump backwards. The back of my
head rams the wall, forcing me to slink onto the ground. My muscles tense and
my entire body begins to throb. I prop myself against the bricks, hoping it will
cease. I attempt to fold my legs into my chest, but they rebel in pain. I focus
my thoughts on survival, rather than the insects I know must be blanketing the
ground...

The second book in the series is SAVED BY THE SPELL, by Casey Keen, published by Nevermore Press, October 2013.
Two worlds in danger.And an excerpt from Book 2:
A Grand Witch behind bars.
A stunning Werewolf and a devilishly handsome Warlock’s pursuit for her affections.
You think you have it bad? Grand Witch Anna Wolfe awakens to find herself imprisoned by Micah, the Prince of Darkness. Micah’s on a quest for world domination—and it’s not just the Netherworld that’s in danger. The human world is threatened as well. Now, it’s up to Anna to escape from Micah's clutches so she can locate The Scholars and an ancient book before both fall into the wrong hands.
With a fiercely loyal Werewolf and immensely powerful Warlock by her side, what can go wrong?
A lot apparently.
If fighting off the Prince of Darkness wasn’t enough, Anna’s emotions are a whirlwind, as she battles between what fate demands and what she actually wants.
...His
magic continues its course through me, draining all of mine. I need to
resist... to fight him. I have to do something before he has the chance to
completely snuff me out or find The Scholars. My jaw clenches and my hands roll
into tight balls. My shoulders tense, preparing myself for the upcoming battle.
I focus all of my energy into stopping him. Bit by bit, my magic shoves its way
past his like a bully on a schoolyard. His grip stiffens. A trickle of blood
glides down the side of my forearm from his piercing fingernails.
“Go
ahead, Anna, fight me. I guarantee it will only hurt you more.”
I
throw every memory and emotion Micah has created or tarnished, tossing them
into the raging furnace of hate burning inside of me. I slam my eyelids shut
and Valen’s face pops inside my head. I need to get back to him. I squeeze my
eyes tightly, channeling all the vigor I have, hoping to push Micah out. A
fissure breaks right down the middle of his magic, allowing mine to explode to
the surface. I feel his power retreat as mine conquers his. I flip my eyes
open, stealing a glimpse of his face...
