Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Beautiful and Deadly Secret is a complete duology and contains Other and Foxfire. Confessing I’m a shapeshifter could get me killed. I crave the forbidden rush of leaping from my bedroom window at night and transforming into an owl, but I could lose it all if anyone catches me. Shapeshifting can be a beautiful and deadly secret. I’m Other. A half-pooka shapeshifter, to be exact. In the small town of Klikamuks, Washington, coming out as a paranormal person means staring down the barrel of a shotgun. I haven’t even told my boyfriend, Zack, who I really am. And I’m hoping he will be the boy to take my virginity. Worse, a pack of werewolves claims the national forest behind my house as their territory. Tensions in Klikamuks escalate into murder. A serial killer is targeting Others like me. On the hunt for clues, I meet Tavian, a sexy Japanese fox-spirit who challenges me to embrace my shapeshifting. He rivals Zack and makes me question everything. Can I find the killer before he finds me, or will my secrets be the death of me? *** My own magic might kill me. One winter long ago, I watched my mother—a kitsune, or Japanese fox-spirit—leave me in the snow for the dogs. But that’s a memory buried beneath eleven years, and I’ve lived in America since then. I have my family, who adopted me, and my girlfriend, Gwen. Now I’m back in Japan. My grandparents invited us to spend New Year’s with them in Tokyo. I pretend to be happy for Gwen, but I can’t shake the nightmares. A faceless ghost haunts me, warning me that she is coming. A gang of dog-spirits wants me dead. I’m the spitting image of their enemy, a kitsune named Yukimi. Is Yukimi my birth mother who abandoned me? I never knew her true name, the key to a kitsune’s magic. I don’t even know my own true name. And soon my magic threatens to kill me, tearing apart my half-human body. I need to find the truth before it’s too late. *** “Other has it all: love, shifters, pookas, and nail-biting action. What’s even better, Kincy’s characters are vibrant, real and lovable. This is a debut that leaves you aching for more.” – Carrie Jones, New York Times bestselling author of Need and Captivate “This who-done-it is an unusual blend of mystery and fantasy, starring original characters not often featured in modern urban fantasy for teens. I really enjoyed it.” – Annette Curtis Klause, author of Blood and Chocolate “Gwen is extremely likable as the impulsive, conflicted heroine, and although Tavian is a bit perfect, their romance is a dynamic counterpoint to the suspenseful mystery.” – Booklist “The emotional turmoil of the characters is evident and will appeal to readers who have felt misunderstood or as if they don’t belong.” – School Library Journal “The kitsune legend has never looked so good. Tavian is one sexy fox.” – Julie Kagawa, New York Times bestselling author of The Iron King and Shadow of the Fox. “An enjoyable, mystical coming-of-age, complete with quick getaways, motorcycle chases and no distraction from the already-established, comfortable romance.” – Kirkus Reviews
