SM Reine
dark fantasy & ephemera
Welcome to my library.
I’m the writer known as SM Reine, but you can call me Sara. I’ve spent my entire life writing fantasy novels, and if you’re here, you may have already read one or eighty-two of them. If not, here’s a couple things you should know:
Most of my books take place in the same urban fantasy world called The Descentverse. (You can find a reading list here.)
My books are available on all ebook retailers and in paperback on Amazon.
Also, small print, but… if you read any three of my books, you are trapped now, and your soul belongs to me until you finish reading all of them. Sounds good? Cool.

Preternatural Affairs
Cèsar Hawke works for the bad guys.
There are scratches on Cèsar Hawke’s arms, a discharged Glock on his coffee table, and a dead woman in his bathtub. Yeah, maybe he brought
the waitress home for some fun — he was too drunk to remember it — but he knows for a fact that he didn’t kill her. He’s an agent with the Office of Preternatural Affairs. He doesn’t hurt people. He saves them.
The cops disagree. Now Cèsar is running.

In this deadly game of hold ’em, Dana’s drawing dead, and whatever happens next, there’s no changing her losing hand. Dana only knows one thing: If she’s going down, she’s taking as many vampires as possible on her way out…
