Switchblade Goddess




From the author of Spellbent and Shotgun Sorceress comes the third novel in Lucy Snyder's "wildly imaginative and intensely gripping urban fantasy trilogy" (Publishers Weekly).

Hell hath no fury like a goddess scorned.

When Jessie Shimmer traveled to a nightmare underworld to save her lover, Cooper Marron, she gained magical powers . . . which soon seemed more like curses. Her beloved familiar, the ferret Pal, became a monster. Her enemies multiplied like demons. Worst of all, she hasn’t found a moment of peace to be with the man she adores.

Now a switchblade-wielding demigoddess commanding a private hell stocked with suffering innocents is after her. The blademistress’ vengeance sends Jessie and Pal on a dark journey through strange, perilous realms. Their quest for salvation will push her newfound abilities—and her relationship with Cooper—to the breaking point . . . and beyond.

Praise for Switchblade Goddess

Praise for Spellbent:

  • "Snyder combines the best of Jim Butcher and T.A. Pratt in this wildly imaginative and intensely gripping urban fantasy trilogy launch ... Threads of romance, horror, action, and humor weave throughout, serving as the perfect backdrop against which memorable characters and a unique system of magic can shine." --Publishers Weekly
  • "This fast-paced urban fantasy has a few twists that make it stand out from the pack. Yes, the plot moves quickly, but that doesn't stop Snyder from developing her characters and building her world. Fans of Kim Harrison's Rachel Morgan series should be pleased with Jessie, another butt-kicking female witch who doesn't let anyone tell her what to do."-- Booklist
  • "Spellbent is a total blast! A fun, unique, and constantly surprising contendor for the urban fantasy crown...I can't wait for book two!" --Christopher Golden
