 Ultraviolet  |
UltravioletAuthor: Navarro, Yvonne |
||
|
Human society has been decimated by a holocaust caused by biological warfare research gone wrong: instead of creating super-soldiers, a genetically-engineered virus turns infected humans into Hemophages, a vampire-like sub-species with enhanced physical abilities. In the infection-paranoid and technologically advanced society that follows, Violet is a singular Hemophage warrior battling the totalitarian dictator who is determined to wipe out her species at any cost. |

 Elektra  |
ElektraAuthor: Navarro, Yvonne |

Elektra Natchios died, once. But the beautiful, dangerous heiress was resurrected and recruited by a mysterious group who trained Elektra in the art of combat, then cast her out when her anger and lust for vengeance became more than they could bear. Now she works as a paid assassin — the very best that money can buy, notorious for her lethal speed and precision. Elektra is careful to treat each assignment as just another job, providing a service she can perform better than anyone else. When Elektra is hired to eliminate an attractive, friendly widower and his young daughter, she finds that things aren’t so simple anymore. Soon Elektra is engaged in an all-out war with the powerful criminal organization known as The Hand for the lives of one man and his child — but the ultimate struggle may be for Elektra’s soul. . . . |

 Hellboy  |
HellboyAuthor: Navarro, Yvonne |
||
|
From the Editors of Barnes and Noble: Now as the top field agent of the Bureau for Paranormal Research and Defense, a clandestine branch of the FBI, Hellboy’s job mandate is relatively simple: Track down and eradicate supernatural beings. Vampires, werewolves, hellish ghouls — so far nothing has been able to best the 6′9″ horned giant with a stone fist (the Right Hand of Doom) and a multipurpose, handheld cannon affectionately named the Good Samaritan. But when Dr. Trevor “Broom” Bruttenholm — Hellboy’s foster father and the man who lovingly raised him from an infant — is killed by the same villainous group who brought the half demon to earth decades earlier, Hellboy vows to kill the Nazi sorcerers once and for all and end their nefarious plan to bring Armageddon to Earth. Standing in Hellboy’s way is a nightmarish hellhound that is seemingly impossible to kill. And to complicate matters further, the Nazis have the love of Hellboy’s life, a beautiful pyrokinetic named Liz. As haunting as it is hilarious, this fast-paced novelization will undoubtedly spur science fiction fans to search out the numerous graphic novels and find out more about the lovable, butt-kicking, demonic hero. |

Mirror MeAuthor: Navarro, Yvonne |

Hannah Danior is a young woman struggling to build a life after an unspeakable experience in her childhood. Now self-sufficient, she is nonetheless still tormented by her past . . . and the cruel demons of her childhood are not finished with her. At any instant and with no warning, she will inexplicably manifest the injuries of someone she’s never even met. Enduring everything from mere bruises to mortal blows, many of her wounds would kill a normal woman, but just as inexplicably, she heals — at astonishing speed — presumably so she can be victimized again. With her face and body disfigured by countless scars, Hannah desires only to be left alone. But fate has other ideas when a pair of detectives catch the similarity between her most recent horrific event — where her throat is suddenly cut — and the murder of a neighborhood woman. One demands answers she doesn’t have and the other, a man she doesn’t recognize at all, raises instinctive alarms inside Hannah’s head. When the unthinkable happens and one of the detectives falls in love with her, the search for the truth about Hannah’s past and an unseen killer twists itself from the realm of the supernatural into the unforgiving streets of Chicago . . . |

Broken Sunrise (Buffy the Vampire Slayer: The Wicked Willow Trilogy #3)Author: Navarro, Yvonne |

|
The Ghost of Tara has disappeared. At first Willow thought it was because of something she’d done — or worse, that the universe was again conspiring to hurt her. But it’s almost impossible to keep secrets from a witch, especially one as powerful as Willow, and ultimately she learns that Buffy and the gang are the culprits. Willow desperately wants Tara back. Not only does she miss her immensely, the spirit’s presence is necessary to perform the resurrection spell Willow’s been working on. Though her first impulse is to charge off and bring her wrath down upon the heads of her old friends, her coven reminds her that in the past, when Willow has allowed anger to control her, she has failed. Willow must develop an alternate plan to regain Tara’s spirit and perform the spell. Buffy and the Scoobies hope to drain Willow’s power, and release Spike and Oz from their enslavement. But Willow’s anger is endless, and it seems she’ll stop at nothing in her fight to bring Tara back, no matter what the cost. . . . |

Even Willow’s own coven has turned against her now. Condemned for saving Buffy from their evil phantom and for not protecting the other coven members fully, as she had promised, Willow must come up with a way to restore herself to them — and to reinforce her position of power, which hangs in the balance. But the truth — that she battled the phantom because the ghost of Tara told her to — will only lower Willow’s status in the eyes of her coven. It is time for big magic. Infallible magic. And as Willow turns to the elements for protection, Buffy and the rest of the Scoobies must find a way to fight back without losing Willow forever. . . . |

She’s here to challenge the Slayer and even Angel — in L.A. — is concerned that this time, Buffy may be in over her head. Celina’s not the only monster skulking about the neighborhood. D’Hoffryn has returned to Sunnydale to offer Anya another chance as a vengeance demon. Can she give up her romance with Xander and the friendships she’s forged as a mortal for another shot at immortality — even if it comes with a horrific price tag? Dawn tries to explain to Anya that humanity is worth the occasional heartache, even as she has doubts of her own. Suddenly Buffy learns the terrifying truth about Celina: she’s not just any vamp — she was once a Slayer herself. Buffy has struggled with her own dark side enough to question the subtle distinction between “Slayer” and killer. If Celina turned Buffy, and Willow restored Buffy’s soul, could she possibly find love with Angel at last? And, more importantly, would she still be a hero? |

Willow has always longed for more parental guidance, but when Sunnydale’s adults are swept up in a witch hunt, Willow finds that her mother’s judgment really bums. And who knew that her forays into the black arts would bring her literally face-to-face with an alter ego “Old Reliable” never imagined existed? Ultimately, though, when it comes time to take charge of her future, Willow realizes that whether it be as a computer hacker or Wicca extraordinaire, she can go further than she had ever dreamed . . . by staying right where she has been all along. |

“I like you. You’re nice, and you’re funny and you don’t smoke, and okay, werewolf, but that’s not all the time. I mean, three days out of the month I’m not much fun to he around, either.” When Buffy the Vampire Slayer arrived in Sunnydale, she befriended a bookish, insecure girl named Willow. As a Slayerette, Will uses her computer prowess for good, hacking into electronic government files and researching obscure rituals on the Web. But Willow’s love life is severely lacking, consisting of an unfulfilled crush on her friend Xander and a short-lived fling with a deadly demon she met over the Internet. Through her often life-threatening experiences with the Slayer, Willow gains the confidence to just be herself in the peer pressure-filled world of high school. And when her first real boyfriend, Oz, turns out to be a bit . . . unusual . . . in his own right, Willow is just the girl to prove that love really is blind . . . and a little scary. |

Babylon 5: River of Souls
Numerous sources list Babylon 5: River of Souls as one of Ms. Navarro’s published works. This is, in fact not true. It was written but problems arose and the author had to walk away from the project that she loved. It is currently in limbo but not likely to see publication. This is sad but these things happen. The only account I’ve found about River of Souls is on Yvonne Navarro’s website. If you need to know the history of this lost project I recommend you start there.
Notes:
Yvonne Navarro lives in Arizona with her husband and fellow writer Weston Ochse and a pair of Great Danes.
