About The Book
In this third and final installment of The Council Trilogy, political consultant Olivia Shepherd has scarcely had time to unpack after returning home from a harrowing assignment overseas when she’s offered a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity: help elect a woman president. Knowing the assignment will put her squarely in the path of an old nemesis, Olivia is resolved to refuse—until she learns the stakes are much higher than they seem.
Reunited with William, Josef, and the rest of her inner circle, Olivia soon learns that her opponent’s use of ancient, dark magic to capture the White House is threatening the very fabric of the universe. But it’s only when her father falls victim to an unspeakable attack that she realizes she must put an end to Stoner Halbert once and for all.
With no time to spare, Olivia assembles an elite supernatural advance team and sets off on the campaign trail. Along the way, she encounters a new mentor, family she never knew existed, and a band of deadly supernatural mercenaries she thought she’d left behind. Meanwhile, politics take a deadly turn inside the Council—making Olivia wonder if everyone in her inner circle, including her, will survive this trial.

Raves and Reviews
Praise for The Gift: Book 2
“A thrilling global mystery ... In the fantastical thriller The Gift, a woman in a rich paranormal world works to understand her mother’s death.”—Foreword
“Sharp, pacing, engaging dialogue ... Davis balances supernatural intrigue with wry humor and emotional depth, making The Gift an easy recommendation.”—Independent Book Review
“The Gift is a goldmine of contemporary relevance as it tackles the dynamics of hierarchical power, corruption, and family betrayals with a sharp, feminist lens. ... Davis's ability to balance these weighty themes through a fast-paced Gothic drama ensures the novel remains entertaining while also deeply thought-provoking.”—BookLife, Editor’s Pick
“Love triangles (or squares) can be hit or miss, but Davis approaches it by linking the love interests to different parts of Olivia’s identity: the half-human, the half-witch, and the woman. ... The enemies-to-lovers banter [Olivia and Josef] develop in Serbia is electrifying ... This passion and 'will they, won’t they' energy in their relationship stems from the evocative writing. Davis’s prose helps readers imagine what Olivia and her friends are facing, as well as the stakes in their personal relationships.”—Indie Reader
“…an immersive adventure filled with romance and supernatural intrigue from cover to cover. Davis's vibrant world is brimming with diverse and compelling characters… a captivating read that left me eagerly anticipating the next installment, and I’d certainly recommend it to fantasy fans seeking a new accomplished author.”—Readers Favorite, 5 STARS
Praise for The Others: Book 1
“Her knowledge of the fantasy genre is evident, as she skillfully weaves fantastical elements with politics, society, and history. The result is a love letter to San Francisco and fantasy—a city where the culture thrives and hides a darker and more mysterious underbelly. ... Evette Davis’s The Others showcases her deep passion for storytelling and the enchanting world of the supernatural.”—IndieReader
“A rollicking supernatural jaunt through time that leaps out of the famous San Francisco fog and right onto our latest news pages. Davis combines her inside knowledge of Bay Area politics with a gripping tale of vampires and shape-shifters that leaves us never quite looking at the city the same way again.”—David Callaway, former Editor-in-Chief, USA Today
“. . . a paranormal romance and thriller for the intelligent reader. It has it all: political issues, social issues, family issues, witches, vampires, demons, time-walkers, fairies, werewolves, empaths, romance, violence, danger, and espionage. Davis does a laudable job by weaving an intricate storyline around a well-developed, blossoming romance. She ties storylines together and introduces backstories to explain complicated characters. Moreover, the protagonist is extremely likable and easy to relate to. This may have been a paranormal book, but I found her story to be motivational. Who hasn’t wanted to turn their back on the world and throw in the towel? When Olivia begins her training sessions to get her life back on track, the book becomes nearly therapeutic.”—Rebecca Skane, book reviewer at Seacoastonline.com
