Moira Rothrock comes from a long line of dark retrievers, a profession that requires regular interaction with demons and other-worldly beings, as well as frequent trips into Hell. It also means she’s on “friendly” terms with Lucifer, with “friendly” really meaning a love/hate/flirtatious relationship. It’s safe to say interacting with the Devil is interesting and complicated. And wildly dangerous.

However, when Moira’s new client turns out to be a local London priest, the handsome Father Basil Holt, their chemistry surprises her, but she’s more intrigued by his unusual request: his dying parishioner claims to have sold their soul to the devil and he needs Moira’s help in retrieving it.

As Moira spends time with the young priest while bickering with Lucifer about the technicalities of soul ownership, she realizes she might be in over her head. Father Holt gives her mixed signals, the dying parishioner refuses to tell the truth, and Lucifer happily throws obstacles in her way. What’s a dark retriever to do?

While Moira refuses to make a deal with Lucifer, she isn’t above playing dirty to get to the truth. As things begin to look hopeless, Moira wonders if the answer lies in unlocking the reasons behind why Lucifer wanted the soul in the first place.

Trapped underground during an uprising, Hammer must overcome his inner darkness and learn to truly listen in order to save Jocelyn’s life and perhaps regain his kingdom. Will Hammer give up everything he’s fought for to find the love that’s been in front of him all along? Can Jocelyn help him find a new beginning, or will his violent ways tear them apart in the end?

Pink-haired goth Tiff Cordero isn’t a witch. She’s a clairaliant, someone who smells spirits. And she’s been hired to sniff out a ghost who has recently started to give migraines to the patrons of a local coffee shop.

Only problem: nobody’s died anywhere near the building recently, no one has cursed the place, and the only odor Tiff can pick up is the smell of burnt plastic.

If she can’t solve the case, all the cool patrons will ditch the coffee shop—and it’s already in a neighborhood getting updated and plasticized out of existence.
 

When Lani was a very little girl, she pretended she could speak to the wind, an understandable pastime for an imaginative child whose father had been carried away by a tornado, never to be seen again.

Many years later, caught in a fierce winter storm in the Colorado wilderness, she asks the wind for help out of desperation.

And the wind answers.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

For some people, the silver lining comes before the storm.

Colton’s happy life shattered into a million pieces when a changeling kidnapped his pregnant wife. The police never caught the kidnapper—difficult to do when a changeling can shift their appearance to look like anyone—so now Colton scours the city at night, hunting for that one creature who robbed him of everything that made life worth living.

But what he hunts down this night will change his life forever.
