Lucky Rabbits Foot

Description Lucky Rabbit’s Foot by Courtney Davis


These were only the beginning of Fawn Malero’s problems, but they coincided with a vampire wedding-of-the-century coming to town and that made them a top priority. And as Logan began to take on more duties as pack Alpha, her loyalties were being tested by everyone. Could she run part of the city and part of the pack?

Then the burglaries started… of human homes, threatening exposure!

Being pulled in so many directions, Fawn feared she was failing her father and the supernaturals of Seattle leaving them open for challengers to their authority. Will Fawn’s ability to enlist the help of other supernaturals be enough? Or will they finally see that she doesn’t have what it takes to keep Seattle safe and its supernaturals hidden?

Review Lucky Rabbit’s Foot by Courtney Davis


Guest Review by BookGirl

I ate every bite of this book up like a delicious dessert! From page one of ‘Lucky Rabbit’s Foot (The Fawn Malero Mysteries Book 4)’ by Courtney Davis, I knew that it would be right up my alley. This novel has everything, romance, mystery and a supernatural detective who is trying her best to keep it all together—all with wit and heart that make it a rewarding read.

Fawn Malero is such a great main character, I found myself sympathizing with her right away, while also wondering how on earth she got herself into this crazy situation!

At the start of this book, Fawn is already in a pickle with the mysterious case of the rabbits that are attacking the city. Well, okay, “attacking” is a strong word. The rabbits are not actually doing anything, besides inadvertently causing the odd car accident. But there are thousands of them, and no one has any idea where they are coming from.

The city of Seattle was not prepared for this invasion of cute rodents, and they are even less prepared for the rash of unexplained weather that seems to be hitting the city. From heat waves to blizzards all happening in the span of a few short hours, it’s almost as if the city itself is going haywire to avoid the upcoming nuptials between two of the vampire world’s most prominent members.

At the center of all of this is Fawn Malero, private investigator for the supernatural community who is desperate to solve the city’s problems before the wedding takes place. Fawn must figure out who is behind the attacks on the city, and thus prove herself to her father, before things spiral even further out of control.

There are few things that I love more than a supernatural mystery, and this story definitely fit the bill! 5 out of 5 Stars!

These were only the beginning of Fawn Malero’s problems, but they coincided with a vampire wedding-of-the-century coming to town and that made them a top priority.

Excerpt Lucky Rabbit’s Foot by Courtney Davis

We had a plan to stake out two places tonight, luckily, they were both close to each other, so we rented a room at the hotel with a view of the Space Needle and the questionable garage underneath. If the Warlock showed up to amplify his magic again, we’d be ready, and if rabbits entered the garage in droves, we’d also be ready. I was eyeballing the street for a redhead in a yellow jacket too, sure Rusty was somehow involved in something.

The news was on in the background and talking about the heatwave, the weird storms, the rabbits, and the recent uptick in burglaries. All reminding me that I was failing. Neither Logan nor I wanted to talk about the pregnancy misunderstanding and marriage demand, which left a tension between us palpable enough that Betina, Tony, and Annabel had chosen to stake things out from the ground rather than watch with us in the room.

It was almost midnight when Logan spotted a shadow moving near the Needle. About ten minutes later rain started to fall, not just a little rain either, it was a torrential downpour and the wind picked up with it, fast and hard, hammering the rain against the windows.

“Damnit, he’s at it again,” I hissed, and we rushed out of the room. “At least this will take care of most of the rabbit poop.”

“Thank god,” Logan said, and I had to imagine his Werewolf sense of smell was particularly irritated by the scent with the heat amplifying it.

I followed Logan as we went, and I had my pepper spray and stun gun tucked into my belt in case I needed them. The little prick was not going to get away tonight.

We took the stairs and rushed out to the street. I was nearly knocked on my ass with the force of the wind, but Logan grabbed my arm and we rushed to cross the street. Betina and Annabel were already there wrestling with a shadow.

“I’m trying to fix it; I have to fix it!” The words floated to us on the wind followed by grunts as fists flew.

Then the Space Needle was struck by lightning and all four bodies were thrown across the grass with a terrifying sizzle.

The smell of hot metal filled the air, and thunder so loud I was momentarily rendered deaf, echoed off the buildings. Logan dropped my arm as we raced to our friends. Betina was closest and when I sunk down by her side, I gagged at the smell of burnt flesh and rotten fish that was coming from her. Logan pressed a hand to her neck feeling for a pulse.

“Alive,” he yelled and rushed off to check Annabel and Tony. I touched Betina’s face and prayed to whatever goddess might be listening that she’d be alright. Who did Trolls worship? I pressed my hands to her face and sent my healing senses into her. I latched onto the small spark flickering out and poured myself into it. I opened myself to the ability I was only beginning to trust I had. I welcomed its power and believed in it because the alternative was far too horrible. I felt it strengthen. I would not let her die; I would not lose someone I loved so much. I shivered as the feeling of completely giving myself over to the ability ran through me and into her. The little flicker became a flame and her head lit up with new flames as life renewed inside of her, strong and sure. It gained a footing with my help, then took on its own ability to heal her.

She was strong but damn, that had been the biggest lightning bolt I’d ever seen. The rain stopped and the wind died, as suddenly as the storm had come, it was gone. The sky cleared and as I looked around, I saw Annabel sitting up with Logan’s help and Tony stumbling my way. No one else.

“Fuck,” I hissed. We’d lost him and why the hell wasn’t Betina conscious? I turned back to her and checked her pulse as Tony fell beside us.

“Is she okay?” he gasped in fear.

Her pulse was steady, but her eyes were closed. “I think so,” I assured him and leaned close to her ear. “I’m going to be so mad at you if you don’t wake up, Betina,” I whispered and swallowed the lump forming in my throat. I loved this girl, and I was responsible for her being here. I pressed my hands to her chest, feeling her heartbeat. I could see her chest rise with her breath; she was alive I assured myself again. I laid my hands back on her head and was further reassured that it was still lighting up with life, whatever I’d done, it was working. I could sense my magic inside of her, working to support her natural healing.

I closed my eyes and steadied my breath, keeping contact with her as spectators started to stop and stare. I felt Logan and Annabel approach then heard them reassuring spectators that all was well and encouraging them to move along. No need to call an ambulance. I opened my eyes and sighed. “I think she’s okay, but we should get her dry and home to bed.” She was healing, but I had a feeling it would be a few days before she’d be really okay.

Praise for Courtney Davis

A Life With Beasts (The Fawn Malero Mysteries Book 1)

“A Life with Beasts is a story of intrigue and attraction that is especially recommended for mystery readers who enjoy more than a light dose of paranormal encounters and a touch of romance.”-D. Donovan, Midwest Book Review

“a fun adventure/mystery. Courtney Davis brings a fresh perspective to the supernatural creatures we are all familiar with without sacrificing the original ideas associated with them. She creates an exciting world of werewolves, vampires, witches/warlocks, magicians, trolls, and many others.
The book is easy to read and fast-paced. It’s a great read for the summer holidays or when you want a light, fun read. Can’t wait for the sequel!
Also, there is a healthy dose of romance, which can tend to be a bit much for those who don’t read romance (like me). However, Davis has done a great job of making the romance central to the plot, so I found it quite enjoyable.”- Writa Bhattacharjee, GoodReads

“This was a fast read and I really enjoyed it. It gave me some high school Twilight memories but brought more supernatural beings into play. There were several mysteries and problems being solved but they didn’t feel. I found the characters likeable and funny.”-Sara, GoodReads

Supernatural P.I. (The Fawn Malero Mysteries Book 2)

“a must read for all paranormal fantasy fans. From werewolves to vampires, to elves and witches this book has it all. My curiosity grew with each page. The plot has a lot of twists and turns. Magic, mayhem, romance issues, and so much more are included. Courtney Davis writes well. Her characters leap off the pages.
There was never a dull moment. I love that I could read this and dive right into this magical world. It is the second book in the series. Courtney Davis and her mystery series are now added to my favorites.”-Urban Book Reviews

a fantastic paranormal mystery/romance with a compelling and fun protagonist, and brilliant world building.  Davis’ writing is impeccable, and I enjoyed the way that she balanced the mystery, romance and comedy aspects of the novel. I also loved the way it ended! This is what all paranormal mysteries should be! _”-Bee, Book Pleasures.com

“This was a great read and one that I cannot stop thinking about!  This is a madcap adventure that you are bound to have fun reading! Five stars for Fawn Malero!”-Nora, Storeybook Reviews

Description Supernatural PI by Courtney Davis


Just when Fawn Malero was getting comfortable in her new life….

Fawn was enjoying her new-found career as a Supernatural P.I., settling into a relationship with the Werewolf, Logan, and figuring out how to interact with all the supernatural creatures living in the Seattle area. But it never occurred to her the water off the shore was also under her administration…that was until they started crawling out to beg for help.

Before she knew it, Fawn was on a quest to learn who was attempting to steal the magical properties of the ocean, where a powerful Vampire’s daughter was being held captive. And could she catch the Magician who’d been selling dangerous items to humans?

Of course, she wasn’t alone. The posse she’d collected were still with her and determined to help. If she was going to make it as a P.I. she wasn’t going to do it without backup.

Interview with Courtney Davis

TR: Please tell us something about ‘Supernatural PI’ that is not in the summary.  (About the book, character you particularly enjoyed writing etc.)

CD: I am very excited about a little journey Fawn and Logan take in this book to my town, Coeur d’Alene, Idaho! And while they are there, they visit some very popular and well-known places, like Tubbs Hill and Sander’s Beach. I am excited to hear from people who know this area and what they think of the way I wrote about our little city by the lake. 

TR: I always enjoy looking at the names that authors choose to give their characters. Where do you derive the names of your characters?  Are they based on real people you knew or now know in real life? How do you create names for your characters?

CD: I do a lot of baby name searches most of the time. For Fawn, I wanted a name that linked to her animal communication abilities but also something that would portray her as weak, as she works to find her strength of course, because she’s not really all that weak.

TR: Where did you get the inspiration for your cover?

CD: The covers for both Supernatural P.I. and the first of the series, A Life with Beasts were designed with the characters as inspiration.

TR: If this isn’t giving away spoilers, please tell us about when Fawn and Logan met and how she found out he was a werewolf.

CD: She always knew he was a werewolf, since she grew up within the supernatural world, that wasn’t a surprise. They were both children of powerful leaders in the area and so spent time around each other from time to time, meetings and boring stuff like that. But as a kid, Fawn thought she could play with the big kids, and she ended up being an inadvertent cause of some family trouble for Logan and that is an element that twists through both books. (and hint-hint even book #3)

TR: Which actress would you like to see playing Fawn from ‘Supernatural PI’ if it were optioned for a movie or series?

CD: Oh, this would be an ultimate dream come true! I think Emma Watson would be good or Lucy Hale!

TR: Who would you like to see play Logan?

CD: A young Jason Momoa!

TR: What draws you to the paranormal genre?

CD: I love the idea that there is more going on around us that what we know and see, just makes life more interesting.

TR: Describe the room you are sitting in as though it was a scene that Logan was describing.

CD: It’s hot as fuck! What are these people thinking having a fire going when it’s like sixty degrees outside. Weak humans… But at least their furniture is made for a big man like myself and comfortable too. I could take a nap if it was quiet but, kids and animals are sprawling all over the place making noise, reminds me of having the pack around, comforting but I can’t let my guard down. No one here can protect themselves so it’s my job.

TR: When did you first have a desire to write?  How did this desire manifest itself?

CD: It started in Jr. High. I wrote a short story for a class and people liked it. After that the idea sort of sat in my head. I started writing things here and there as I went through school and then, at eighteen I started writing what would turn out to be my first complete story, a historical romance. Now many years later I’m publishing urban fantasy and couldn’t be happier. I hope that someday I’m only writing and my day job will be a happy memory.

TR: What is next for Fawn?

CD: She has many adventures to come. She will continue to protect the supernaturals of the Seattle area for many books to come and keep them secret from the humans as well. I hope to keep this series going for a long time, as long as people keep wanting to read it!
