Leichter gesagt, als getan, denn Vivis alter Fluch entfaltet mit Rhys Besuch erst seine volle Wirkung, und plötzlich ist das ganze Städtchen in Gefahr.

Pissing off God comes with consequences, which should have been obvious in hindsight. For Loki and Lucifer, it’s a victory—and the least of their problems. Building an infernal army is a lot harder when trying to fit it around eight daily hours of mind-numbing labor, uncooperative fugitive deities, and competing layers of escalating sabotage. Even worse, behind its bland corporate veneer, Providence is anything but that: its deities brim with magic, secrets, and ancient scars. The career path is soul-destroying.

A new Prism has appeared, but the monster waves are coming faster than ever. Will humanity's hope prove to be too little, too late? Meanwhile, Aden has too many voices to listen to. This is his life, but it turns out much of what he thought he knew about his past may be false.

Leonard Dunning insists he’s not the heroic leader his friends—and enemies—think he is.

Needing safety, she flees to Devil's Cradle, the home of monsters. A place for the outcasts, the fugitives, the crazies. A place ruled by the Ancients, seven beings who were once banished by the Aeons. Among the Ancients is the infamous Cain, brother of Abel and embodiment of jealousy - who, on another note, wants her in his bed.

Something deadly is at work in New Haven, and if Alex is going to survive, she'll have to reckon with the monsters of her past and a darkness built into the university's very walls.

Henry was just an ordinary tavern keeper, helping to run the doomed family business. When the Royal Tradesmen's Ball rolled around, he—like usual—wanted nothing to do with it. But the fourth-in-line Lady Garnet offered him a proposal. She wished to shock her family with an outrageous stunt: appearing to court a commoner. He agreed on one condition: no more strangling the tavern.

Eleven years at the FBI taught me two things—how to stay alive when a gun is pointed at my head, and that I never want to work for anyone else ever again. When I moved to Atlanta and started my own PI firm, I swore I’d never make my living chasing down missing or philandering spouses. But the rent is due, so when a woman knocked on my door and offered me a boatload of money to track down her missing husband who helped himself to a family heirloom on his way out, I had a hard time saying no. Seemed like easy money.

Thirteen demons were trapped in The Realm. So was Aegyir, their ring-leader. They wanted to live forever. But the only way they can "live: is for others to die. The Guardians stopped them.

Kate Richards loves the simple things like listening to the sounds of birds outside her kitchen window, how the flowers bloom in her garden during springtime, reading outside where the sun touches her back, running her book store, and spending time writing.

With help from a newcomer, a wolf, and a vampire, this writer is going to need to create an ending where everyone has their happy-ever-after.

Annae, a brilliant graduate student in psychiatric magic and survivor of academic abuse, can't stop reading people's minds. This is how she protects herself—using her abilities to know exactly how her colleagues view her—how she escapes the torturous experience of her own existence. When Annae moves to England to rebuild her life and finish her studies under the seminal magician Marec Gorski—infamous for bringing to life a homunculus made from his unwanted better self—she sees, inside his head, a man who is both a destructive force to everyone around him, and her mirror image.

Gretel has lived for a very long time, and for most of that time, her life has sucked. This year is no exception. She's responsible for taking care of her brother (who happens to be an annoying cat now), she's hopelessly in love with her indifferent boss (the terrifyingly efficient and ruthless Ms. L. Thorne), and then there's that tendency to see the future, whether she wants to or not....
