Publisher Description
A sentient sword. An artifact collector. A whole world of trouble.
My name is Harlow Fletcher, and I'm a charm collector.
As the daughter of bounty hunters, I know more about the criminal underbelly than the average citizen of Luma, California. But when Dad's work got him killed, and Mom went on the lam, I swore off the profession for myself. Instead, I use my knack for finding rare artifacts—namely illegal magic-laced weapons—to sneak into criminals' homes after the police have carted them off for their latest infractions. Once I've helped myself to the contraband, I sell it to the highest bidder.
While looting my latest victim, I find a gorgeous sword. I immediately regret my decision to steal it. The weapon is alive. It's lightning-quick, has an anger management problem, and refuses to be left behind. Days later, I count my lucky stars when it takes off on its own.
In less than twenty-four hours, the police are at my door accusing me of murder. While pleading my case, the diabolical sword floats into my apartment, covered in blood. Now we're on the run, with bounty hunters and government-trained feline shifters hot on our trail. Proving my innocence is going to be a hell of a lot harder with the sentient murder weapon by my side—especially when I might be next on its hit list …

Kept Me Up Past Bedtime
Rarely do I discover a book so intriguing that it keeps me reading long into the night. I received Veiled Threats as a free book and immediately purchased Diabolical Sword upon completion of the free book. I couldn’t put it down! I often figure out the plot of the book I’m reading early on and finish reading it out of the need to prove myself right even though I’m bored with the tale. This one kept me guessing! I loved it! Melissa Jackson nailed this! So many twists and turns, I didn’t know and couldn’t guess what was happening next. I’m so looking forward to reading her next book in the series, Wicked Treasure. Thank you Ms Jackson for creating such a stimulating series!!!
