Conspiracy of Ravens (Crawford Investigations Book 1)
Blurb:
Raven Crawford knows better than to venture into the seductive world of the dark fae or agree to any of their salacious promises. She plans to pay off her debts so she can get on with her life and stay far away from the denizens of the Underworld.
Unfortunately, her numbskull twin steals from the most tempting and lethal fae of them all. Now, Raven must help the Lord of Shadows get back what her idiot brother stole. Her only weapons? Just a little ingenuity and a whole lot of snark. It’s suicide for sure, but she’ll do anything to protect her twin.

Excerpt
The strands of shadow lengthened and snapped around the doctor’s wrists.
“Cole…”
Another band of gray snaked up and wound around Robert’s neck.
Raven tugged on Cole’s uninjured arm. “You can’t hurt him.”
Cole shrugged her off. “No. I can’t kill him. There’s a distinction. The important question is whether the doctor understands the significance of the difference.”
The band around Robert’s neck tightened. The doctor’s eyes bulged.
“You will heal this shifter and you will do it now,” Cole repeated. “If you call security, you’ll never live to see them arrive. If you refuse, you won’t leave the hospital breathing.”
Well, then.
Robert trembled.
As worried as Raven was that the police would somehow barge into the room at any moment and arrest them all, seeing Robert this scared was very, very satisfying.
What was happening to her? When Robert first left, she considered finding him and taking a run at him with Jean Claude, or accepting Bear’s offer to “rough him up,” but in the end, common sense and human decency prevailed. Yet here she was, revelling in Robert’s near strangulation.
Well, no one’s perfect.
“Do you understand?” Cole asked.
Robert nodded.
The shadows instantly withdrew, and the normal too-bright fluorescent lighting of the room returned.
Nurse Jordan leaned toward her and stage whispered, “That was awesome.”
Raven agreed.
