Guilty Pleasures
4.  Guilty Pleasures by Laurell K. Hamilton

As One Dead (World of Darkness)
5.  As One Dead (World of Darkness) by Nancy Kilpatrick

The Awakening (The Vampire Diaries)
6.  The Awakening (The Vampire Diaries) by L J Smith

Suckers
9.  Suckers by Anne Billson

Midnight Blue: The Sonja Blue Collection
11.  Midnight Blue: The Sonja Blue Collection by Nancy A. Collins

Lost Souls
12.  Lost Souls by Poppy Z. Brite
