Enter the zany, hilarious world of the Magical Romantic Comedy (with a body count) series with this seven story collection. From a fire-breathing, meat-eating unicorn to a sphinx with a devil problem, what can go wrong will go wrong, nothing is as it seems, and there’s magic around every corner.Warning: these stories contain magic, mayhem, and mythology splashed with humor, romance, and a body … and a body count.
In Playing with Fire, Bailey Gardener doesn’t need Manhattan’s Most Wanted Bachelor breathing down her neck, but when she’s targeted with a cell phone bomb capable of transforming her home into a stone tomb, she’s tossed headfirst into a mess with her sexist enemy. She definitely doesn’t need to fall in love with the smoking hot police chief. Saving Manhattan will be tough enough.
In Hoofin’ It, Shane Gibson’s trip to New York takes an unexpected turn when three corpses and a miniature llama with a spitting problem and an attitude tumbles into his life. Facing off against a sex trafficking ring targeting the woman of his dreams, ancient vampires, murderous criminals, and his parents is only the beginning. Some days, it isn’t easy being an ex-cop.
In Hearth, Home, and Havoc, Dakota had never intended to become the single mother of a goddess, but after her abusive ex storms back into her life, she’ll do anything necessary to protect her family.
Snakes eat fish, and the mer love tearing apart their serpentine nemeses with their hands and teeth. As for the gorgons… Tulip would rather not think about them at all. In Serial Killer Princess, a serial killer of serial killers must come to terms with her unique heritage while dodging the advances of a wily bodyguard with an unhealthy interest in her and her secrets.
Kanika regrets naming her business Whatever for Hire. Fetching a cat out of a tree should’ve been a quick, easy fifty bucks in her pocket. Instead, following one stray thought, the Devil pays her a visit and leaves her with a debt to repay. Owing the Devil a favor is bad enough, but her life is turned upside down when it’s time to pay the piper.
After a wildfire took everything from her, Emily Hall made do surviving as a homeless human by day and as an owl at night. In Owl Be Yours, when one of the men responsible for infecting her with lycanthropy comes winging his way back into her life, she must choose between revenge or resuming a normal life. Until Daniel’s return, she never dreamed she might be able to have both.
In Fowl Play, the last thing Emma Sansaul needs is to become the next victim of a crazed serial killer. Left with no other choice, she joins forces with Agent Kenneth Bernard, the one man on Earth capable of making her hissing mad one second and in need of a cold shower the next.
This collection contains over 500,000 words (1,800+ pages) of magic, mayhem, and hilarity.

The world that R.J. Blain has created is a wonder. The earth is in the latest emergence of magic (this occurs every few hundred years). All the stories are set in the current timeline. The characters she has created are wonderful and the ‘talents’ of each character are so different, but it all hangs together. I would really like to get a hold of some grade A++ Pixie Dust.
This entire series of novels and novellas are wonderful. I fully recommend this series.
I loved each book in this collection. Especially the first one.
I loved all the books in this set. I hope I can afford the rest of the books in each series.
Enjoyed them all.
Great deal. Love the fast pace, outrageous characters and unique paranormal slant. Blain has a huge imagination. All the stories in this set are good and I have every intention of devouring the whole series.
Finally, almost all of them in one place <3
Everyone of these stories is outstanding. They are terrific, fun escapes. You truly cannot be sad or down while reading them. You may be crying but that is ’cause you are laughing so dang much!
I really enjoyed this book. I wanted a book that would entertain me and keep me laughing. and let me escape to another reality. This book met all of those requirements. If you want a fun, irreverent fantasy, this is the book!
Every one in these books is insane and I love it!! I have recommended this to at least 3 people! I know I will read more of this world. The details of the AU where these take place is seriously impressive. Not at all what I expected but ended up being everything I didn’t know I wanted!!
If you are looking for something different, this is definitely it!
I love this series. Hilarious characters. With just enough snark to keep you giggling.
Love this author, everything I have read has been awesome.
Love these books! Laugh out loud funny without being stupid.
These books in this pack are a great read. These books are entertaining and humorous.
The characters were great. Story was fun and funny. I didn’t want to put it down I was so entertained. I will be purchasing the next book!
Highly entertaining. Lots of laughs. Fun.
Very good deal for all these books. Very enjoyable with great characters and fast moving plots.
I liked it so much that I frequently reread.
Envy anyone who is starting the Magical Romantic Comedies with Body Count for the first time. So much fun and separation from reality await you. Cindercorns, Gorgons, Angels, Alpacas, Elves, employees of the Center for Disease Control, Divines, Devils, Cindercorns, Shifters. Magic …. It all comes together in an over the top, got to find out what happens next series of stories.
All of these stories are 5 star favs that I constantly re-read. Having a bad day, indulging in one of these stories definitely improves my mood.
