Cops sometimes rely on hunches to guide them, but Detective Maddy Wimsey takes it a step further: Magic. August opens with the bad omen of a suicide that she suspects is more than it appears. However, before she can even start to find evidence that won't get her a date with a shrink, an even worse case walks in the door. A local nurse claims she suspects one of her co-workers of murdering patients. Unfortunately, the woman has even less evidence than Maddy's belief that a spirit is throwing people off tall buildings. However, something about the story rings too true to brush aside.

What starts as a standard background check spirals into bank robberies, kidnapping plots, suppressed rifles, and a high-stakes rescue aboard a container ship. When a wealthy senator’s daughter is drugged and abducted by the very man she planned to marry, it’s up to Sam—armed with psychic commands, vampire strength, and trademark sarcasm—to save ...

Deputy Marshal Zebadiah Clemens can't die. After the Civil War came to a close, Zeb decided to head west to raise cattle and a family. No sooner did he step off the train in Texas, a stray bullet knocked him senseless. Believing he'd somehow cheated death, he gave up on his peaceful plans and became a lawman. After migrating farther west into New Mexico, he expected to find the usual run-of-the-mill outlaws - not a strange woman watching him from the edge of his dreams. He might be imagining it all - or still unconscious with a head wound - but with his luck, it's probably real.

Samantha Moon finally has it all: a fat inheritance from her (ex) vampire sire, enough money for the vacation of a lifetime, and a promise to her kids to make this summer unforgettable. So instead of Hawaii, she books a two-month grand tour of Europe—first stop: a real medieval castle in Ireland. But relaxation? Ha. Not in this family. Sam, her teenage kids, her werewolf boyfriend Kingsley, and witchy best friend Allison barely check in before things get weird. A shadowy apparition haunts their suite. Anthony's toxic farts rival any demon stench. And a literal banshee screams an omen of ...

Denmark was supposed to be easy. City tours, good food, and not a single cursed forest in sight.

Tammy’s powerful telepathy makes her the perfect candidate—and Sam is less than thrilled about her kid moonlighting as an oracle for an ancient being. When Freya reveals a crisis on Bornholm, the ...

Clayton’s cursed with insomnia and guilt after failing to stop a faerie abduction.

Prague was supposed to be all castles and cafés—just another chance for Samantha Moon to play tourist with her supernatural family. Instead, they find themselves battling an ancient monster made of living clay. When a massive golem starts rampaging through Prague’s historic streets, Sam, Kingsley, Allison, and the kids dive in to stop it.

A family vacation to Scotland was supposed to be easy. Bagpipes, castles, and maybe spotting Nessie from the shore. Samantha Moon has other plans: keep her family safe, keep her vampire side secret, and make sure the only monsters they see are in the gift shop. But on Loch Ness, some legends are more than marketing. When a demonic horror attacks their rickety tour boat, Sam and her supernatural crew must battle it in the dark waters—while hiding the truth from the mortal captain. Between Anthony’s constant Highlander impressions, Tammy’s sassy eye-rolls, Allison’s witchy banter, and...

She thought she’d heard it all. Then the hangman called. Psychic witch Allison Lopez has dealt with angry spirits, ancient gods, and haunted radio stations.

Desperate to help, Allison heads into California’s high desert, where an old mining town’s bloody history refuses to stay buried. There’s a spirit here with murder in its heart, fueled by anger, greed, and a century-old hanging tree. As Allison’s visions reveal a ...

Sam, Kingsley, and the kids brave the frozen woods to fight back against illusion traps, teleport-blocking wards, and the Baba Yaga–style sorceress who won't take no for an answer. It’s mom versus monster in the dark, with Anthony...

Samantha Moon should have known better than to end a vacation with a scenic helicopter ride over the Amazon. When a demonic entity attacks mid-flight, their chopper crashes deep in the jungle—leaving Sam, Allison, Tammy, and Paxton bruised, battered, and on foot in one of the deadliest places on Earth. But the real danger isn’t the snakes, the bugs, or the endless green walls. It’s the creature that stalks them. Feeding on fear, it conjures illusions to separate and trap them.

The final stop on Samantha Moon’s European vacation should have been a peaceful Greek island retreat—sun, sea, and no monsters in sight.

London was supposed to be the normal stop on Samantha Moon’s European vacation. Just some fish and chips, museums, and maybe a cheeky photo with a palace guard.
