Then Carrie realizes her writing is taking on a life of its own and the lines between fact and fiction become increasingly blurred.

Smart men never dabble with demons. I never claimed to be smart, but at least, I’m powerful enough to control them. When I bound Havoc to me nearly 300 years ago, I never realized how difficult he’d make my life, although “accidentally” lighting him on fire every now and then does bring a smile to my face. Havoc is handsome, mysterious, and somehow, my closest companion, even if we don’t always get along.

There's passion beneath his icy front...and also so much pain.

Eloise “Lou” Whittaker can’t shake the feeling she’s forgetting something. After surviving the explosion of the Poisonfoot Library, she struggles to find her footing again, and she’s grateful Archer Wyatt is there to make sure she’s all right. But Archer seems to be around an awful...

I expected to be fulfilled, less confused when all the secrets about who I am come to light. Instead, the revealed truths have left me more devastated than ever. Chasing ghosts of the past and running into a kid who claims to know all about me isn't all that bad, until I have to put my trust in a complete stranger, and make a deal with a fairy.

Ever since I found out I was adopted by my werewolf family, I longed to know where I came from, where I belonged.

Taking over in Haworth's stead after she killed him, she's determined to figure out how to perform a very powerful possession spell, and I just happen to be the perfect candidate.

Giving up my freedom for the safety of my sister felt like a small price to pay - right until she went and disappeared again.
