THE BESTSELLING SERIES WITH A HEROINE READERS CAN’T STOP ROOTING FOR.
★★★★★ 4.6 AVERAGE SERIES RATING • 4000+ RATINGS & REVIEWS
Nicole Beretti and Noah Jacobi are Special Agents in the FBI’s APEX Jaegers Unit, a covert team sent wherever a cryptid threatens innocent lives. Joining them is Riley Brooks, the team’s brilliant tech specialist and newest field analyst, still learning the ropes when the job takes her out from behind the screens and into the action.
From remote towns to city outskirts, they investigate cryptid sightings, track the threat, and face monsters no one else will. From Sasquatch and Dogman to whatever else is out there that science hasn’t caught up to yet, no case is too strange or too deadly.
But this series isn’t just about cryptid chaos. It’s about loyalty, growth, and flawed, determined heroes who keep showing up even when it hurts. There is action, heart, dark humor, and a strong sense of family at its core.
Beretti, Jacobi, and Brooks may be hunting nightmares, but they’re just as fiercely protecting the people caught in their path, and sometimes, each other.

"THERE IS NOTHING FORMULAIC ABOUT HER WRITING."
"I love how none of the books in this series have been predictable, there is nothing formulaic about her writing. Luka’s prose, her description of the forest and all its elements, come off like poetry."

CLASH OF THE CRYPTIDS PART 1 REVIEW
“Jacobs sprinkles in a trio of chapters from the Dogman’s perspective and one from the Sasquatch’s, but Clash of the Cryptids is Beretti’s show.
The dialogue between Beretti and Jacobi is particularly well-written. For example, when Jacobi sees the weathered town for the first time, he says, ‘You weren’t kidding. This place is stuck in time.’ Beretti replies, ‘It never needed to change.’
CLASH OF THE CRYPTIDS PART 2 REVIEW
“In Part 2, the war between Sasquatch and the Dogmen escalates as Special Agent Nicole Beretti deals with a just-revealed shocking truth from her childhood. Part 2’s first chapter is the same as Part 1’s final chapter, bridging the two books with the stunning reveal of Beretti’s past. It’s definitely a chapter worth reading twice.
"Jacobs effectively puts you in the vehicle and in the room with Beretti. Expect an emotional ride combined with creature-feature action in Part 2. And the ending? Perfect.”
SHE’S GUTSY, STRONG, FLAWED, & FIERCE. SHE'S SPECIAL AGENT NICOLE BERETTI.
The bestselling series with a heroine readers can’t stop rooting for.
I wrote Nicole Beretti into Night of the Dogman 3: Retribution to fill a role I felt was missing in the cryptid thriller world.
After reading countless Sasquatch and Dogman stories, it struck me how rarely you’d find a female lead who was as rugged, skilled, and grounded as her male counterparts. Nicole became that character, a seasoned, strong, and unflinching agent, whose early loss of her parents left her both hardened and haunted.
Her resilience and extensive training made her the kind of protagonist I’d want watching my back if I were facing monsters. Readers connected with her almost immediately, and it was clear she deserved a series of her own.

NOAH JACOBI
APEX JAEGERS
Noah Jacobi is a seasoned FBI Special Agent with a sharp eye, a calm presence, and a past shaped by hard choices. At six foot two, with a solid build, close-cropped hair, and a well-worn goatee, he carries the look of someone who’s seen his share of violence and walked away from most of it. Beneath his easy grin is a tactical mind trained to assess threats in seconds. Years in the field have taught him that danger rarely announces itself.
Jacobi has a dry sense of humor that cuts tension in the field, and a quick wit that tends to put others at ease. But when the situation shifts, so does he. The moment things get serious, the jokes stop and the focus sharpens. He’s deliberate, controlled, and always thinking three steps ahead. He knows when to lighten the room and when to lock in.
He’s the kind of agent who reads between the lines. He notices what others miss, not just in a room, but in people. While others react, he observes, weighs the odds, and acts with precision. His partnership with Nicole Beretti is grounded in that trust, shaped by shared cases and close calls.
Though his instincts are sharp, Jacobi doesn't pretend to have all the answers. He’s curious, willing to learn, and quick to admit when something doesn’t sit right. That honesty, paired with a steady presence, makes him someone others want beside them when things go bad. He’s not a showman or a hero. He’s a professional, here to do the job, and do it right.
