After months of grueling training, her loyalty to the team is tested when she learns her target is the Network’s most wanted: the Kelch family.Revenge may course through her veins, but so does the blood of the Kelches. And opposing her family may cost her the thing she treasures most. After all, Magnolia is still a Kelch. And the Kelch are damned.

"Make way for an engaging new voice in urban fantasy! Megan Powell explores the dark and evil in her gripping debut. You won't be able to put this down, and the ending will leave you wanting more..." –Sandy Williams, author of The Shadow Reader

From Booklist

“In this supernatural thriller with a romantic subplot, the prose is a bit raw, but the story is solid. Magnolia, who narrates the book, is a nicely drawn character with plenty of internal conflicts (most of them involving her hesitation in trusting her fellow Network members, or even herself), and the action is slick and, in its fantastic context, believable. The door is left wide open for a sequel, which the author apparently is already working on.”

J.T. Geissinger, author of Shadow’s Edge

“Taut and suspenseful, No Peace for the Damned draws readers into an addictive world defined by a sympathetic, powerful heroine riddled with self-doubts and the evil forces at work against her. The action is non-stop, the bad guys truly chilling, and the characters finely wrought. A must-read for dark fantasy lovers.”
