Before everything fell apart, Ruby Foster had been enjoying a completely normal day. Then again, normal was relative in Tempest, Texas. As a supernatural safe haven where paranormal beings lived together in the open, normal meant expecting the unexpected.

But just days after the crime, she gets devastating news: the Jibbleson sisters’ fingerprints were found on the murder weapon. Even though most (okay, all) of their inventions explode, Francie knows they’d never commit murder.

Betrayed by the man who was meant to stand beside me, I watched my pack fall in a bloodbath of treachery. My sister and I barely escaped—but in the chaos, we were separated. Pulled from the river, I was saved—begrudgingly—by Ryker, a ruthless and powerful pack leader with secrets of his own. A man I don't trust and can't seem to escape. The pull between us is undeniable, but after everything, I refuse to let another wolf break me.

Scarred on the inside and the outside, Valentina has spent the majority of her life living and working online. Online, no one can see her, so she can be whoever she wants to be, do whatever she wants to do… love whoever she wants to love. And she fell hard for the sexy thirst trap behind the devil mask. He's smart, sensual, and flirtatious, but also sweet, funny, and he makes her feel seen for the first time ever. But… he's never actually seen her. And it's better that way; someone as beautiful as him would never want to be with someone like her. Right?

It was an offer too good to refuse: spend one month in the most haunted house in the world. When the reclusive owner of Duskwood Manor opens the door to five teams of paranormal investigators, there's no way my team can say no. But there are no ghosts here. There are monsters. They live under my bed, in my closet, and watch me from the shadows, whispering filthy visions in my ear at night. Begging me to come with them to their world—the Void, where the monsters roam free . . . where they teach me what it really means to want.

It all started when I was six years old. I was homeless. They were held prisoner. I saved them. Even though it put me in the system. They believed we built an unbreakable bond forged by trauma. These beautiful, damaged boys saw me differently than the rest of the world. As much as I wished I could feel the same. I couldn't. These boys—men—had too much anger. Too much hate.

It's been a year and a half since they fled Los Angeles, desperate to escape the unleashed infection. An abandoned base in the isolated tundra of Alaska provides a safe harbor for the survivors. Now, turned infected are organizing. Worse, they've been given horrifying special abilities. As civilization continues to erode around Taylor and her companions, their only hope is to reach The Vault, where the last known transmission from the outside world originated. It's a risk to leave but Taylor's visions are telling them to go. 

War awaits across the sea. In order to ensure their survival, The Oncoming Storm and a band of misfits set sail for the land beyond the horizon. In a country where the power structure is as strange as the language, their desperate mission to secure a lasting peace will take them on a journey through halls of power and dark back alleys alike. Trusting the wrong person could get them all killed, but without help from the locals they have no chance of succeeding. They can only hope that they have placed their faith in the right people.

I've been here from the start—watching, waiting, and breathing in the fear that clings to her skin. She prays to a god that doesn't listen, locks doors that don't keep me out, and walks through a world that I've already carved her name into. She thinks she's alone. She isn't. I live in the shadows, in the walls, beneath her feet. I sleep under her bed. I steal the scent of her skin from the clothes she sets aside. I keep her safe, even as I pull the strings that unravel her sanity, thread by thread. She calls me a demon. A nightmare. A Hellkeeper.

What if you had a genie who wanted your every last desire to come true? What if you had two? And what if they were competing to see who could do a better job?

Let me tell you a little bit about myself. My name's Eric. I'm 18 years old and life is mediocre at best. My best friends are failing Twitch streamers, my boss has a mullet, and I spend every day working at one of the remaining video rental places in the known universe. I live off of a steady diet of VHS tapes, vintage porn, and video games. Let's just say that I wasn't exactly high up on the social ladder. I'd pretty much resigned myself to the fact that life wasn't a bitchin' '80s movie or action flick...until one day, it was.

If there's one thing Verity will consistently do, it's spontaneously make terrible decisions. Sometimes they work out well—so far, smuggling her rescue cat into the shadow realm has been a great success—but more often than not, she ends up with a bigger mess to clean up than she started with.
