H&W Investigations Series 1-5, and more by Jess HAINES

This is in response to a torrent I tried to download here. For 3 days I tried to download that torrent, with no luck -- it continued to sit at 0. So I went in search of these specifically, because I was very interested, as were several others, in obtaining these to read. Luckily, I was able to locate them, and a couple more that I have added. Each file is in both epub & lit format. Contents:

But it may not be enough. In a city where the undead roam, magic rules, and even the Others aren't always what they seem, Shiarra has just become the secret weapon in a battle between good and evil - whether she likes it or not...
