Abbie Hughes lives in a tiny, rundown tenement with her crippled father and younger sister. Her mother is long dead, and her brother has gone out to sea. Abbie and her sister, Gail, eke out a living by selling posies and broth on the street corners. It isn’t much, but at least they aren’t starving, and they have each other; in truth, their little tenement is filled with love.

Dinah Shaw has learned not to ask questions about what her mother, Ethel, does for a living. She spends her days trying to keep her younger brother, Ollie, entertained and safe in the tiny Whitechapel tenement where they live. There’s never enough food, and their ominous landlord threatens them continually with eviction. Ethel is gone for days on end - and Dinah’s life is one of hardship and loneliness. The only bright spot in her world is Benjamin Morris, the boy who lives in the tenement next door.

I was born in the seventh circle of Hell to two demons of noble lineage. Know what that means? Squat. My brimstone birth certificate and five bucks might get me a cup of coffee from Starbucks. The minute I was born, they handed me off to a wet nurse, sent me to earth, and left me to fend for myself. I suppose, I should thank them. They taught me at an early age that there is nothing in either world more important than self-sufficiency.

My acts are vicious and cruel, vile and life-taking. My demands are unquestioned no matter how depraved. There’s a monster inside me, and the wounds that scar my soul are dark and deep. I’m Dante Simone. Underboss of the Chicago Outfit. She walks into the audition, eyes snapping with a fire that could cost her life - if she were to unleash it. Piper Tate crawls beneath my skin on our first encounter. Her audition, a condition of employment I’ve sat through a thousand times, is like no other. It’s magnetic, cementing my traitorous eyes to her lithe form.

May you live in interesting times. I'm not quite sure who said it, but I'd sure as hell like to find him and beat him in the head with a shovel. One thing about Cedar Falls...it was definitely interesting. I'd have settled for boring. Maybe even dull with a smidge of mediocrity. I guess I had nobody to blame but myself. That's what happens when your mother is the biggest witch, and I mean that literally, on the planet, your father is the god of night, and you're something in between. Something that keeps getting stronger. Something you can't always control.

Answers. They’re hard to come by. The way the Outfit obtained them rocked us to our very core, but we’re overcoming the loss and looking ahead. The war is here, and preparations will take Piper and me to Boston and into a meeting with the other American Mafia organizations. Except a single call renders the meeting null and void. An attack has taken place in Chicago that results in Madeline’s kidnapping. Miami is responsible. They will be eliminated. And I’ll be the one to see it done.

With the shitshow in Miami behind us, Piper is finally mine. I'm on the brink of accepting something I never thought possible. I think I'm falling in love, but how would I know? The monster's never allowed such emotion to fester, and he doesn't find this instance to be an exception. He lays down the law. If Piper's going to love me, she has to accept him, too.

I thought things were calming down and getting back to normal. After a foray into the elven lands to rescue my friend from the nefarious clutches of the dark elves, I'd been looking forward to spending a nice quiet holiday in Cedar Falls with the people I love. Especially the guys. We deserved a break and some alone time. But I should have known better than that. Instead of Jingle Bells, spiked eggnog, and date nights, I'm faced with angry ghosts, rotten zombies, witch-hating locals, a pissed off vampire lord, and a partridge in a pear tree.

The last thing Lindy Cook wants to do is leave Yorkshire behind.

Piper Tate has cast a spell, making me into a man who blurts Italian endearments without thought. One who gives her full thumbprint access to my penthouse. A guy who makes her breakfast and serves it to her in my bed, even though it drives me crazy. She’s taken care of me - something I never thought I needed. And yet, when she uses that access, I bail.

My acts are vicious and cruel, vile and life-taking. My demands are unquestioned no matter how depraved. There’s a monster inside me, and the wounds that scar my soul are dark and deep.

The Bigfoot creature is well-known in North America, but reports of eight-foot-tall unknown primates abound in the forests of the UK and are reported weekly. This Euro Sasquatch is described by eyewitnesses as being between six and eight feet tall with a pronounced brow, a rounded, crested head like a gorilla, and as often all black in color. There are more than 500 sightings of creatures fitting these descriptions, and many encounters border on the supernatural.

Stories of gods and magic, of romances and villainy, have been interwoven with the fiction created by many mortal cultures, each miscommunicating, and forgetting entirely, the history of a time where the world was inhabited by curious creatures, legendary beasts, magical spirits, and of course, the Gods themselves. That is, until, the world is once more introduced to the magic and chaos of our ancestors.

Paranormal activity abounds in the California and Nevada deserts. Phantom beings and ghosts are reported, but there is much more happening in Death Valley and Area 51 than spirit entities. Many have encountered UFOs firsthand and even encountered alien beings from another world. From nuclear testing to grisly murders over gold and riches, the darker truth is that aliens may be inhabiting underground bases and operating portals to other dimensions in the deserts of the US.

Want to know my secret? Probably not as much as I do. It seems like everybody knows what the hell I am but me. Apparently, I'm only half the witch I thought I was. Literally. I'd spent my entire life thinking my father was a witch like my mother. I should have known better. Nobody could be that big of a witch. Now, to figure out who and what he is, I get to travel the known realms in search of answers. Unfortunately, sometimes ignorance truly is bliss.
