About the author
Angiechu Moonloux is a thirtysomething bestselling author from Louisville, KY. She writes character-driven urban fantasy tales that all include found families of disasters, badass female heroines, alpha roll heroes, chaotic whimsy, and a slew of magical beings that delight and bite. Her works also include suspense and sleuthing. She can’t help it. She blames her mother for raising her on Dateline Mysteries.
Moonloux completed her first novel in the seventh grade. It was a horrendous mess and a crime against humanity, but it was fabulous practice. Especially when she continued on to write three more of them. Since then, she’s lived her life with a mix of kindness, pettiness, and general mischief as a sparkling, morally grey, shot of serotonin, and it shows in her books! When she’s not swamped by day with the Social Media Marketing world, she’s busy releasing revamped versions of several of her smash-hit series, as well as penning beloved new prose.
Moonloux currently resides in Louisville, KY with her husband, their son and daughter, their four cats, and their two Australian Shepherds. Visit http://theangiechu.net/ for more information!

Urban Fantasy
Chomped At The Fandom Fest
Sem Van Dijk is a Dutch, not-so-hardworking Momma's Boy who enjoys light snacks and Kanye West songs. When he is carjacked by a gang of vampires, his life goes from meh to YIKES in a matter of seconds. Cyr, Grand Vampire of the Illusionists, enlists Sem into his questing business, tasking the frightened human with finding the roots and herbs necessary to make the special medicines that he and the vampires need to survive. The options are simple: cooperate or die. And with the angsty Anya and the oh-so horny Lily-Rose watching his every move, Sem has no choice but to play along.

Hexed & Buried (Cybermagic #1)
The Washington family has three rules: protect each other, keep the magic quiet, and never talk about what's buried in the woods. They've kept two out of three. Edwin is a Technomancer, running on bloodletting rituals and too much coffee. His brother, Nathalian, is an Echo Mage, staging a theatrical comeback while barely holding his life together. And Nathalian's wife, Blythe, is a Cajun Noirmother, running a magic practice and an online fitness business and absolutely not spiralling...no matter what anyone says. They are a coven of morally grey, modern-day witches. A found family of disasters who are very, very good at keeping secrets. Until the secrets start keeping them. The messages keep coming: texts and letters signed as though sent from their cousin Georgia…who vanished two years ago. They arrive on phones, laptops, and systems that shouldn't be possible without magic, making the Washingtons realize that someone has gotten inside of their defenses. Someone who knows exactly what they buried past the treeline. And someone who has no intention of stopping. Spanish Creole techno-magic meets French Cajun blood magic in this urban fantasy series opener, featuring a cast of wonderfully chaotic witches, slow-burn romance, and a paranormal mystery that goes deeper than any of them are ready for. The Washingtons buried the truth years ago. Someone else just started digging. — “A very refreshing plot without predictable “twists” like your typical mystery/detective novels” -- Britt, Eyes Open Reviews “As soon as I finished, I immediately wanted to start over from the beginning and watch the pieces of the puzzle fall into place.” -- L.E. Wright, author of Other Realms

Hexed & Hunted (Cybermagic #2)
The Washingtons are trying to rebuild. It is not going smoothly. Edwin has a new girlfriend, a surprise child, and a cyber investigation that he absolutely should not have started. Nathalian has a broken nose, a pregnant teen daughter, and the growing suspicion that his house has become a Way Station for everyone who has ever been adjacent to a catastrophe. Blythe has nerve damage in her left hand, a coven that keeps acquiring strangers, and a cousin who may or may not be slinking around her property at night. The Washingtons hit the trail in search of answers, but that trail leads to somewhere worse than a grave. They become consumed by encrypted files and cryptic photographs, a Dark Web operation with no bottom, and a blackmailer who's been watching the Washingtons for far longer than is comfortable. And it still all points back to Georgia Savoye: missing, presumed dead, and apparently not. To find her, the family has to decide how Dark they're willing to go. Because—even in a fit of emotion—some acts outlast morality and legality both. Some bind you to worlds that you can never leave, magic be damned. Urban fantasy at its messiest and most found-family-forward, Hexed & Hunted is the second book in the Cybermagic series. More magic. More chaos. And more people in the living room who weren't there last week. The Washingtons are not a safe family to know. They are, however, the best when it comes to protecting your tribe at all costs. — “Hexed & Buried was a solid read, but Hexed & Hunted has hooked me onto the rest of this series for sure! Moonloux’s mastering of dialogue on top of a chilling atmosphere makes this a clear pageturner!” -- ARC Reader “Hexed & Hunted dives deeper into the mystery and drama surrounding the Washington family. Interpersonal conflicts, relationship growth, and mystery building all drive the story forward!” -- L.E. Wright, author of Other Realms

Hexed & Cloned (Cybermagic #3)
Somebody is leaving daisies on the Washingtons' porch. One fewer every morning. Nobody wants to find out what happens at zero. This family has survived stalkers, buried bodies, and two years of thinking that Cousin Georgia is dead. Now, they're sharing space with a woman who has Georgia's face. Georgia's voice. Georgia's magic. And not one of Georgia's scars. She says her name is Sienna. She says she's never heard of them. She could be a twin. A fraud. She could be Georgia herself, running the longest con of all. ...And the Washingtons can't decide which answer gets them killed. Nathalian tries holding his fracturing family together with crutches and a new Twitch career, while thirteen-year-old Jaxyn has started running reconnaissance that nobody asked her to run and fraternizing with the enemy who nearly ended them all mere weeks ago. The daisies keep coming. The number keeps dropping. And whoever's counting knows exactly what's buried on the Washingtons' property. And exactly what's buried that even they haven't yet uncovered. Hexed & Cloned is Cybermagic’s third installment in the series, featuring Spanish Creole techno-magic, French Cajun blood magic, and a found family of gorgeous disasters learning that the most dangerous face in the world is one that you already love. Count the daisies. You're running out of time, too. — “I didn't expect this series to get so techy, even with Edwin as the technomancer. We're going full Dark Web now!” -- ARC Reader “As soon as you think you know where this series is going, Angiechu Moonloux throws you for an enjoyable, chilling loop!” -- Sara Prentiss, contributor to Shameless Shelf Promotion
