Sinopsis 

Cassidy Blake's parents are The Inspectres, a (somewhat inept) ghost-hunting team. But Cass herself can REALLY see ghosts. In fact, her best friend, Jacob, just happens to be one.

When The Inspectres head to ultra-haunted Edinburgh, Scotland, for their new TV show, Cass—and Jacob—come along. In Scotland, Cass is surrounded by ghosts, not all of them friendly. Then she meets Lara, a girl who can also see the dead. But Lara tells Cassidy that as an In-betweener, their job is to send ghosts permanently beyond the Veil. Cass isn't sure about her new mission, but she does know the sinister Red Raven haunting the city doesn't belong in her world. Cassidy's powers will draw her into an epic fight that stretches through the worlds of the living and the dead, in order to save herself.

Sinopsis 

Cuando en 1924 Helena Lennox se presenta con sus padres en Nápoles por una colaboración arqueológica con las excavaciones pompeyanas, una desconocida le entrega un amuleto de protección con una advertencia: «La ciudad no es segura, los ángeles ya no velan por nosotros».

Durante los siguientes días, los Lennox se codean con una princesa solitaria, un pariente inesperado y un viejo amigo perseguido por la mala suerte mientras el cerco de los crímenes que están atemorizando a la ciudad se estrecha a su alrededor. Las víctimas son chicas jóvenes sin ningún elemento en común; el culpable a ojos de todos, alguien muy conveniente para las autoridades.

Y sobre ese misterio se alarga la sombra del Príncipe de los Prodigios, un intrigante alquimista cuyos inventos siguen en boca de todos. Según cuenta la leyenda, ideó una carroza que se desplazaba sobre el agua, un carbón que no se consumía... y un brebaje capaz de despertar a aquellos atrapados en un sueño profundo

Sinopsis 

He’s a player.

He plays the bass with expert fingers. He plays women with intoxicating charm. And he’ll play me with the ease of a virtuoso.

Who better to teach me to play than the master himself?

I’m his model student, front row, pencil sharp. Pick up lines? I’ve got them. Free drinks? By the dozen. Kissing? Let me grab my chapstick.

But the most valuable lesson I’ve learned is that there’s so much I don’t know. Like why his touch sets off a chain reaction straight to my nethers. Or how I’m certain each kiss is the best I’ll ever have, until the moment his lips take mine again.

There’s so much I don’t know.

Like the fact that I’m only a bet.

But we are what we are. He’s a player, through and through.

And I’m the fool who fell in love with him.

Sinopsis 

Nicolette Bresson never thought she’d return to the de Vincents’ bayou compound. It’s where her parents work, where Nikki grew up... and where she got her heart broken by Gabriel de Vincent himself. Yet here she is, filling in for her sick mother. Avoiding Gabe should be easy, especially when so much of Nikki’s time is spent trying not to be stabbed in the back by the malicious hangers-on who frequent the mansion. But escaping memories of Gabe, much less his smoking-hot presence, is harder than expected—especially since he seems determined to be in Nikki’s space as much as possible.

Gabriel spent years beating himself up over his last encounter with Nikki. He’d wanted her then, but for reasons that were bad for both of them. Things have now changed. Gabe sees more than a girl he’s known forever; he sees a smart, talented, and heartbreakingly beautiful woman... one who’s being stalked from the shadows. Now, Gabe will do anything to keep Nikki safe—and to stop the de Vincent curse from striking again.

Even the gods cannot betray the will of the stars.

It’s been a hundred years since Aphrodite has warmed Ares’ bed, a hundred years he’s spent waiting for her. Now they’ll compete again in a game that matters little to him. His prize is far greater than a token or favor.

He wants her.

For the first time in a very long time, he has a chance to keep her. Because now the ground has shifted, tilted in his favor, and with her footing unsteady, she will fall.

He will catch her.

And this time, he won’t let go.

Sinopsis

She’s everything he wants…. 

Cold. Heartless. Deadly. Whispers of his name alone bring fear to fae and mortals alike. The Prince. There is nothing in the mortal world more dangerous than him. Haunted by a past he couldn’t control, all Caden desires is revenge against those who’d wronged him, trapping him in never-ending nightmare. And there is one person he knows can help him. 

She’s everything he can’t have… 

Raised within the Order, Brighton Jussier knows just how dangerous the Prince is, reformed or not. She’d seen firsthand what atrocities he could be capable of. The last thing she wants to do is help him, but he leaves her little choice. Forced to work alongside him, she begins to see the man under the bitter ice. Yearning for him feels like the definition of insanity, but there’s no denying the heat in his touch and the wicked promise is his stare. 

She’s everything he’ll take…. 

But there’s someone out there who wants to return the Prince to his former self. A walking, breathing nightmare that is hell bent on destroying the world and everyone close to him.

Sinopsis 

Aphrodite knows love. Just don’t ask her to figure out her own heart. 

Instead, she toys with the hearts of humans. It’s a little game the gods play, and this time it’s Aphrodite’s turn to defend the domain of love. The battleground is New York City, and the stakes are high—the winner receives a token, a favor the loser must fulfill. 

But every god has secrets. Every god lies. And no god can be trusted.

Apollo is no exception. He killed Aphrodite’s love, and for that, he can never be forgiven. But Apollo is on a mission to win. For thousands of years, Aphrodite has kept him from the one he loves, but the wind has shifted, and now is his chance.

God and goddess will choose their players. The clock will start. Two humans will fall in love, or they won’t—their fates are intertwined with the gods, their hearts slave to their circumstance, a slave to the game.

And in this game of love, Aphrodite never loses.
