Synopsis
Eight books and over 1400+ pages of magic and mayhem, action and humor fill this snarky urban fantasy boxed set. A demonic hedgehog, a homicidal tooth-fairy, a Phoenix with multiple personality disorder...and Francis. They're on the run from the Paranormal Mob. What could go wrong? My name is Frances. Not the name you’d expect from someone on the run from the paranormal mob. You know, ogres with machine guns, kind of mob. But when the unborn ashes of the Phoenix ask for help, well, what’s a girl gonna do? I stole her urn from the mob and went on the run. Now I'm hiding in small town Indiana, where I work as a medic for fantasical beasts. I should be safe here, right? But the mob aren’t the only ones looking for the Phoenix. An ancient evil is searching for her in hopes to usher in Armageddon. Now I have a choice to make: abandon the Phoenix and run, or stop these supernatural bullies and beasts from harnessing the Phoenix’s magic for evil. Like I said, what’s a girl gonna do? Meet Frances, the latest hero in the GoneGod World. Frances a paranormal medic, treating the mythical creatures who now walk among us. If you love Mercy Thompson, Buffy or Katrina Darling, then you’ll absolutely love this unexpected heroine.
