Dee Zitka just can’t catch a break. The last time he was home, his beloved wife Clare died at Zeus’s feet. The demigod vowed never to return, but someone has to save Riona Dade from his crazy Greek God family. The goal: a swift rescue mission, no distractions. Crossing paths with feisty quartergod Anwen Yates proves how the best laid plans sometimes don't mean jack. Seems Anwen has a couple of demons on her tail, and Zeus’s kingdom would be the perfect place to hide out. The fact that Dee finds her frustrating, funny, and sexy as hell has nothing at all to do with his decision to bring her along. Nope. Meanwhile, stuck on Mount Olympus, Riona had become a third wheel to the ancient, troubled marriage between Persephone and Hades. The cherry on the cake? Suddenly, her blossoming angelic powers have taken on a life of their own. Oh, and angels on Olympus without permission are subject to death. Needing to get her heavenly hexing under control before her hybrid heritage is exposed, Hades finds Riona an angelic mentor. And wouldn’t you know it that Azazel brings his newly-minted demon, Marc Angeletti, along for the ride. As the days tick by, the lines of right and wrong, purpose and persuasion, and sin and sanctity begin to blur. Rumors fly, the Heaven-Hell Accords grow as flaky as baklava, and Zeus grows more cryptic by the day. Riona's angelic instincts throw her libido haywire, Hades makes a Hail Mary pass to save his marriage, and Jerry fears that his may be over before it’s even begun. Meanwhile, as the two pillars close in on Olympus, and Dee begins to wonder if he can honor his wife’s memory, while evermore wanting to do right by Anwen.

Don't sleep with demons or priest, and especially not priests who become demons, and especially not demons who happen to be your ex. Everyone knows that love is blind, but even Riona Dade knows it's supposed to be with a mortal. That's true even if you are a witch with the ability to magically slay the scum of Hell. But when you find out your ex-boyfriend was a demon, you should probably take your lesson about falling for the wrong guy. Probably. It's a great theory, anyway. But if there's one thing Riona can do well, it's picking the wrong guy. With the help of Greek Gods, practical joke-loving archangels, and her fellow Pure Souls, Riona faces down challenge after challenge, both to her heart and to her head. Seems the reluctant witch plays a key part in a prophecy, one that has her pitted against the Devil at every turn. The Devil isn't quite what he used to be, though, and by the time Riona is through, neither one of them will be the same again.

A fascinating introduction to one of the fastest-growing religious movements in the United States today.

It’s Memorial Day weekend in Unstable, the paranormal tourist town the curse-weaving Bennett sisters call home. Kennedy has invited luck-worker Aiden Connolly and his younger brother, Rian. She’s also invited Venus, an immortal once worshipped as the goddess of love. Venus earned her reputation honestly. There’s nothing she likes more than matchmaking, and the three Bennett sisters are ripe for her particular skills. The trick to getting Kennedy and Aiden together is to give them a mystery to solve. Just grab a local cold case and add a few red herrings. They’ll be so happy working together again that they’ll never know the difference. Or that’s the theory. But when the mystery turns into a real one, Venus’s plan may end up doing more harm than good.
