“Action, romance, suspense, love, betrayal, sacrifice, magic, and sex appeal to
the nth degree! [McCray’s] heroines kick butt and run the gamut from feminine
to tomboy, and her heroes…well, they’re all 200% grade-A male. YUM! Her
love scenes left me breathless… and I’m surprised I have any nails left after the
suspense in this last book.”

denied.”

FORBIDDEN MAGIC
“Wildly erotic and dangerously sensual, this explosive paranormal thriller
sizzles. McCray erupts on the scene with one of the sexiest stories of the year.
Her darkly dramatic world is one readers won’t mind visiting again… McCray
knows how to make a reader sweat—either from spine-tingling suspense or soul-
singeing sex… McCray cleverly combines present-day reality with mythological
fantasy to create a world where beings of lore exist—and visit the earthly
realm.”
— Romantic Times BOOKreviews (Top Pick, 4 1/2 stars)
“McCray will thrill and entrance you!”
—Sabrina Jeffries, New York Times bestselling author

“McCray’s paranormal masterpiece is not for the fainthearted. The battle
between good and evil is brought to the reader in vivid and riveting detail to the
point where the reader is drawn into the pages of this bewitching and seductive
fantasy that delivers plenty of action-packed sequences and arousing love
scenes.”
—Rendezvous
“Forbidden Magic is a spellbinding, sexy, superbly written dark fantasy. I
couldn’t put it down, and you won’t want to either…[a] fabulous plot…
[Cheyenne McCray has an] incredible skill at keeping readers engaged in every
moment of the action. Longtime fans and newbies alike will be enchanted and
swept away by this enduring tale of courage, love, passion, and magic.”
—A Romance Review
“If one were going to make a comparison to Cheyenne McCray with another
writer of the supernatural/sensuality genre, it would have to be Laurell K.
Hamilton…Forbidden Magic definitely puts McCray in the same league as
Hamilton. The book is a very sexy work… Forbidden Magic is dark and filled
with danger at almost every turn. Magic and mystery abound in San Francisco,
with a major battle between the forces of good and evil, and the outcome is
always in doubt when it comes to demons.”
—Shelf Life
“Cheyenne McCray has written a sexy adventure spiced with adventurous sex.”
—Charlaine Harris, New York Times bestselling author

WELCOME TO NEW YORK
CITY’S UNDERWORLD
Present Day
Dark Elves / Drow: coming right up.
Demons: eh, got rid of the loose ones a while back.
Doppler: a paranorm who can shift into one specific animal as well as their
human form. You should see muscle-bound Fred turn into a golden retriever.
Way cool.
Fae: sigh. We could be here all day if you want to go through every single
species. Your choice.
Gargoyles: live inside statues. You so do not want to get in their way if
something wakes them up.
Light Elves: how art I better than thou?
Magi: delicate, frail beings who forsee the future and vision the past. If an evil
force were to possess a Magi, the Magi’s abilities, used for evil, would be
beyond catastrophic.
Metamorph: paranorms who can mirror any human. And not in a good way.
But when it comes down to facing a Tracker’s blade, they’re all big wusses.
Shadow Shifter: a paranorm with the ability to shift from human into shadow. If
your shadow looks like the Incredible Hulk and you’re the size of Pee-Wee
Herman, hide. Behind a door with at least a dozen bolt locks and tape any
cracks with duct tape. Most importantly, make sure you have the space under
the door blocked. With something made of steel.
Shifter: can transform into any animal of their choosing as well as take human
form. Apparently they have one weakness, but they’re not telling. Well, I’m
not sharing my version of kryptonite with anyone, either.
Vamp: bloodsucking, waxy-faced… They have the ability to mask themselves
in an illusion of beauty or handsomeness. Stay away if you want to keep
your blood. And your life.
Werewolves: can take normal wolf form almost any time. However, during the
full moon they become dangerous creatures that resemble neither man nor
wolf. Creatures that are not self-aware and would rip a non-Were to shreds…
so not good.
