Blurb: Bad dreams always end the same; eventually you wake up. But Nick is trapped in a living nightmare with no end in sight.

After his pack fails to rescue him, Nick and his friends are whisked to a new fighting pit that's bigger and deadlier than the last. Werewolves and vampires aren't his only opponents; magi, werebirds, and werecats are also out for his blood. To make matters worse, he's attracted the hungry gaze of the leader of the pit, a fae named Vesp who thrives on nightmares. His only hope rests in the hands of a vampire he once called a foe and in a desperate allegiance with the parahumans who battle against him in the ring.

Back in Chicago, Tess and Arjun join forces with a sassy Huntress to discover the location of the new pit. But the longer Tess works beside Arjun, the more she’s torn between her duty to the Hunters and her pack. Should she rush in to save the people she loves and risk losing them again, or stick to a plan that could just as easily fail?

In Wisconsin, Rozene and her son’s pack partner with a local fae and her magus wife, owners of a magical school. They may be the only parahumans at hand capable of taking on Vesp, and with students from their school falling victim to the fae’s evil plans, the fight is personal.

It's a race against time for the Purple Door District parahumans to find their friends and family before their lives are sacrificed in this game of fae.

Blurb: Tess Montgomery isn’t your typical member of the Chicago wolf pack. In fact, she’s not a wolf at all. She’s an adopted fire magus of the pack and thus doesn’t always “play by the rules.” When her father and her best friend Nick are kidnapped in what the parahumans assume is a Hunter operation, Tess’s pack is thrown into turmoil. With Alpha Paytah unable to step outside the bounds of his new position as Violet Marshall of Chicago’s Purple Door District, Tess takes the reins to plan a rescue attempt.

Meanwhile, Nick and his fellow wolves find themselves in a world of battle and bloodshed. The Hunters have set up an illegal fighting pit where the strongest survive and the weakest are traded or killed. It’s all Nick can do to keep up the spirits of his packmates and help them escape. Or survive long enough until they’re rescued.

Unfortunately, Tess’ rescue mission fails spectacularly, leading to her capture. She finds herself the unwilling guest of a local Hunter named Arjun. Handsome, charming, and deadly, Arjun tries to convince Tess that not all Hunters are the enemy. He even offers to help her find her packmates. But is he true to his word, or does he have his own wicked plans in mind?

Vampire, werewolf,avian, magus—

It's up to the parahumans of the Purple Door District of Chicago to put their differences aside to save Bianca and stop a dark threat from destroying their peaceful community.

**Reviews of The Purple Door District Series.**

“I really enjoyed this story. The cover art and design are perfect for the current trends in popular fiction and manage to convey the tone of the book really well. It will pull in the right readers who will really enjoy this tale. I love the setting of Chicago for what felt to me like a tale of urban fantasy with so many uniquely interwoven connections between Bianca and the other creatures, like vampires, magi, humans and other. I really enjoyed seeing those interactions and complexities. I like that overlap of the possibility of our world existing at the same time as this other one that “normal” people just don’t even know about. That’s a fun idea that I personally enjoy and think that this book does well with creating another world. The exploration of it is so much fun too, and the plot does a good job of traversing that space with enough action and discovery that it never felt to me that things were overwhelming or too much to navigate. Bianca, Gladus and Carlos were fun to spend time with also. As we follow along on their journey it was wonderful to have more inclusive representation than I’ve read in a while and that was refreshing to me. I would have liked to see even more opportunities for the characters to shine here, but maybe that is to be developed further along in the series. The way they confront the problems and struggle against the villains of the story is clever and interesting. Very fun to read.”

Book Review by Ashley Craig

“In a crowded fantasy market of vampires and werewolves, Casey brings a refreshing perspective in the form of a werebird protagonist, Bianca, who is on the run from paranormal operatives hunting her for her burgeoning, mysterious powers she’s only beginning to realize herself. Yes, vampires and werewolves (and magi and other magical folk) are present in the Purple Door District (PPD) (a code for safehouses for parahumans like Bianca) set in present-day Chicago, but the originality of Casey’s universe resides not only in the relationship between Bianca’s human form and the caracara she can shift into, but in the telepathic communications she has with the other avians and parahumans she (sometimes) co-exists with.
”

— Amazon Review

“The world Casey has built in The Purple Door District is full of interesting, diverse characters that are instantly relatable. ”

— Amazon Review

“For me, the book was so engaging that after I purchased the paperback, signed by the author, I also purchased the digital copy so that I could read it on the go. Author, Erin Casey, discusses having a community as being important to her and through her fiction, she creates a sense of community.”

— Brandi Parsons

“I loved the progression of the first novel, and it was interesting to experience things through Bianca’s eyes. Now, we’re looking through Tess and the Wolf Pack....There’s a lot of twists and turns, and a hefty dose of drama between the cracks.”

Feathers and Fae by Erin Casey.

We didn't often get dimensional rifts on Earth, but when they happened, they were big. Could be an invasion from a different timeline. Maybe some magic realm was in danger and in need of a secret weapon or champion. Stranger things had happened before. Either way, it usually meant a lot of overtime, paperwork, and, if we weren't careful, deaths.
