Praise for the Mageverse novels
MASTER OF SMOKE
Knights clever and comedic seventh Mageverse paranormal... follows a passionate romance between an unwilling female werewolf and an amnesiac Sidhe warrior containing the spirit of a great cat, set against a complex series background incorporating vampires, witches, alien spirits, and the legend of King Arthur... Eva and Davids fight for survival is leavened by plenty of snappy humor as well as Evas hilarious ongoing dialogue with her horny werewolf subconscious. The result is a successful mix of magic, romance, humor, and mind-blowing sex.

A fantastic book... The story was fresh and new and exciting... Sure to keep the reader on the edge of her seat. Ms. Knight has outdone herself... [She] has created some of the hottest sex scenes known to man. The sexual chemistry between Logan and Giada is out of this world...
