Life should be good for Avery Shaw. She's got a hunky new boyfriend in local pawnshop owner (and sometime private detective) Elliot Kane, her cousin Lexie swears she'll be moving out of her house one day "real soon" and her family has been relatively quiet for a whole week. That's practically perfection in Avery's world.Then, what appears to be a random freeway shooting resulting in the death of a young mother, causes upheaval on just about every front. County Sheriff Jake Farrell announces that the same gun used in the current shooting was also used in a similar shooting one county over a few weeks before. A joint task force is assembled and the denizens of southeastern Michigan are on edge - including Elliot and Jake, who still can't quite seem to make amends with one another.Avery is on the case, but she's got a few distractions blocking her way. The commander of the local National Guard base is acting cagey, there's a new public relations liaison in the sheriff's department that is laying down the law about media leaks and her grandfather is refusing to report for jury duty which, most likely, will result in his own incarceration.When you couple that with Carly's upcoming wedding, the opening of Lexie's new yoga studio and Avery's mom's insistence that Thundercats shoes are not appropriate footwear for public outings, and Avery's happiness quotient continues to plummet.Avery is determined to get the story - even when it becomes apparent that her efforts have turned the shooter's attention to her. When Avery finally does find an answer, will she survive to tell anyone about it?

Things are going from bad to worse for Zoe Lake. Actually, if there's something beyond worse - she's pretty sure that's the world she's living in these days. Between threats from hometown werewolves, visits from sarcastic ghosts and the eternal struggle of what shoes to wear to a party, Zoe can't fit much more on her plate. Covenant College was supposed to be a new beginning. Instead, it's becoming a frightening ending for a series of girls that have gone missing during the winter semester. The problem is, there are so many monsters on the Covenant College campus, narrowing down the suspect list seems like an impossible feat. Even with the help of her witchy roommate, Zoe isn't sure where to start looking. When you add in the mysterious vampire that comes and goes as he pleases and the territorial werewolf that keeps showing up at the worst time imaginable, this semester at Covenant College is exactly the opposite of what Zoe expected - and more importantly, wanted. Of course, things can always get worse. As the disappearances multiply, and more information about Zoe's true nature comes to light, the true test for Zoe might be whether or not she can survive until summer vacation. Warning: These characters are a little snarky and sarcastic. It's not for everyone.

The show must go on ... even when monsters are afoot. Poet Parker is Romani by birth and a fortune teller by choice. As a member of Mystic Caravan Circus, she's spent the past ten years using her psychic talents to tell people what their future holds by day and hunting paranormal monsters by night. You see, Mystic Caravan is more than just a circus - it's also a force of good in a world that needs help fighting evil. Poet is set in her ways - and happy with her life - until Kade Denton shows up and upends the entire operation. He's loud and proud - and Poet doesn't like anyone telling her what to do. As the new head of security, Kade thinks his only job is going to be tackling drunken revelers when they get out of hand. He's in for a rude - and bloody - awakening. When monsters strike and the truth comes out, Kade finds he has to learn on the job with Poet as his somewhat reluctant instructor. Sparks are flying - both real and figurative - and when a truly terrible beast targets the circus for extermination it's all magical hands on deck for the final showdown. Some things are born evil, but the people in Mystic Caravan were born to fight it. Prepare to be amazed.

There's nothing Avery Shaw loves more than a challenge ... at least when it comes to tracking down a story. The challenge she's facing this time is the one thing she might not be able to overcome, though.Vacation. That's right, not only is Southeastern Michigan's busiest reporter off work for a week ... but she's also on the receiving end of a visit from her boyfriend's mother.Eliot Kane is tough as nails but he's obviously nervous about the two most important women in his life crossing paths. The fact that he's nervous makes Avery agitated ... and she worries about very little other than who she can upset and how quickly she can make her enemies cry.As luck would have it, Avery stumbles on a story when she should be enjoying her time off. A high-rise apartment fire leaves one dead ... and ties to organized crime are abundant. The only thing Avery knows about the mob is what television and movies have taught her. That doesn't mean she's not keen to learn.Avery is in a pickle. She has to uncover the motives behind a murder, get her boyfriend's mother to like her without losing herself, and keep her family out of trouble even though they're sniffing around and causing mischief. Oh, and she has to pull it all off without melting down or letting Eliot know what she's up to.Things are about to get wacky and dangerous in Avery's world. She wouldn't have it any other way ... even if it ultimately kills her.

Izzy Sage was looking for answers when she took a job as keeper of the death gate in Detroit. Unfortunately, the answers being delivered aren't what she was hoping for. Personal worries have to take a backseat, though, because the reaper world is in an uproar.News that their former leader Renley Hatfield was working with the enemy has spread, but that doesn't mean the good guys can trust everybody that's left. With that in mind, Cormack Grimlock has closed ranks. Only those in their inner circle are allowed access to all the information. Sadly, there is very little information to go around.Despite that, Belle Isle is hopping with activity thanks to an influx of furries who are running rampant across the island for a local convention. Even the mysterious death of one of their own in the waters off the yacht club doesn't dampen their enthusiasm. Izzy isn't convinced that the death is an accident but they don't have proof otherwise, so she looks elsewhere for adventure.Then, in the middle of the night, adventure comes to her in the form of Emmet Grimlock, the missing Grimlock patriarch who disappeared through the gate weeks before.A dream leads Izzy to the gate in time to watch him cross over, but Emmet's memory is tainted and he has nothing to offer by way of leads. While dealing with his return, Izzy's grandfather finally decides to make a visit, too. He senses Izzy needs him, which means even more trouble is on the way.Unauthorized gates are popping up all over Detroit, and revenants are crossing through them. The reapers are on the verge of war, and Izzy might be the only one who can save them.She might've come to Detroit alone but now Izzy is amongst family. She's going to need all of them to unravel the tangled lines of her past and survive to forge a future.Is she up for the challenge?

Izzy Sage should be on top of the world but the revenant threat has her watching her back. Things only get worse when an oddball cult looking for a door to another world show up on Belle Isle and start circling the parking lot while demanding entrance to the other side.Izzy is out of her league when it comes to dealing with the group - especially their charismatic leader who pushes all of her buttons - and when a body drops outside the aquarium, her suspicion is piqued.As much as she wants to focus on the revenants, the cult has to take priority. The more Izzy digs, the more disturbing information she finds. It seems at least one member has ties to Paris' past and another cult run amok ... and further ties just might lead to the current threat hanging over the reaper world's heads.Death is basically knocking on the door between worlds and it's anybody's guess who will answer.That all pales in comparison to the bigger news. The Grimlock grandparents, Emmet and Mary, have arrived in Detroit ... and they're not happy. They have plans for each Grimlock - and their significant others - and they refuse to back down.It's utter chaos in the reaper world and there's trouble at every turn. Izzy has to sort it all out ... if she survives long enough to untangle an unsavory bundle of threads that lead to mayhem and destruction, that is.

Look out Hemlock Cove, Aunt Tillie is on a rampage. What else is new, right? She's determined to move her wine business to the next level, and she needs twenty-four hours of peace and quiet to do it. There's only one thing standing in her way. Well, make that a whole family of obstacles ... and one ticked-off FBI agent. When cousins Bay, Clove and Thistle vow to stop their great-aunt's wine endeavor in its tracks, Aunt Tillie is forced to come up with a unique solution. In order to keep her great-nieces out of her hair, she curses them into a book of fairy tales. Of course, because it's Aunt Tillie, these aren't normal fairy tales. They're the fairy tales she created - with a little inspiration from the classics. Now Bay, Clove and Thistle have to work their way through a labyrinth of stories they haven't heard since they were kids - and they have to take Landon, Marcus and Sam along for the ride. Will Bay get eaten by bears? Will Thistle kiss a frog? Will Sam climb Clove's hair to rescue her from a tower? And, better yet, will Landon turn himself into a prince and slip a glass slipper on Bay's foot? Each task becomes harder as the story progresses, and as the tales darken, things start to become dangerous. Can the Winchester witches survive Aunt Tillie's twisted mind? Or will they be lost in a book forever?

Life should be good for Aisling Grimlock. She's engaged to a great guy, she's getting the hang of being a reaper, and her rich father spoils her rotten on a regular basis. All that changes when a series of storms hit and the Michigan populace starts turning downright dangerous. The streets are running with blood as people turn on one another for no good reason and the hospital is filling up with the sick and injured. That's on top of the ones who are dying in terrible fashion ... and leaving nothing but angst in their wake. Right from the beginning, Aisling is convinced the storms are magical in origin. Of course, because she's prone to theatrical fits, no one believes her ... until the storms hit a little too close to home and Aisling herself is in danger from the one person she trusts above all others. As a cop, Griffin Davenport is used to putting his life on the line. What he's not comfortable with is being a threat to the people he's supposed to be helping. The storms, you see, don't affect reapers but those they love are in a heap of danger. Aisling is determined to find the source of the storms, even if it leads to someone in her own family. She's willing to claw, scratch and fight until the danger is eliminated. She's also willing to whine, cajole and beg if it means she gets her way. A big fight is coming, and it will be under a cloudy sky. Will the Grimlocks live to reap another day or have they finally found an enemy that's big enough to take them out?

The Winchester witches are in a tizzy. Sam Cornell's parents are coming to town and Clove is beside herself. Meeting her boyfriend's parents is a big deal. It doesn't help that her cousins can't stop making fun of her, which is the Winchester way, of course. In addition to the Cornell's imminent visit, the Winchesters are also dealing with Sam's new tanker. An afternoon visit knocks Bay for a metaphysical loop with ugly visions of a tragedy long since forgotten - by everyone but the dead. The belligerent ghosts set their sights on someone in the Winchester household ... it's just not Bay, for a change ... and everyone has to rally together if they expect to make it out alive. If ghosts and parental visits weren't bad enough, Hemlock Cove has a firebug. Someone is going after business owners and festival booths and the culprit is getting more and more daring. Two forms of evil are bound to collide, but when and where? It's going to take all of the Winchesters - and their friends - to solve a mystery decades in the making. The answers are there if they can dig deep enough to find them. Surviving the ordeal won't be easy, but it's all hands on deck - this time literally - for another wacky Winchester adventure

Mystic Caravan Circus is heading to the West Coast, and while everyone is happy for the change of scenery there's a pall settling over the group. Poet and Kade are in a good place and planning for a change, but it's something Poet can't focus on because she feels as if someone is watching ... and whoever it is has evil in his or her heart. The festival location is different, and instead of space, the circus denizens have festival workers and artisans on every side. They're open and exposed, and hiding their secret has never been more important. When one of their own goes missing, Poet is determined to figure out exactly what's going on. The answers won't be easy, though, and there are all different types of evil. A fight is coming, and the enemy is different from anything they've ever faced. They're outnumbered and might find themselves outmaneuvered. Who will survive? More importantly, who will be lost to something even worse than death? Sometimes death really is better.

Life couldn't be going much better for Hadley Hunter. She's living the dream on Moonstone Bay with her boyfriend Galen Blackwood, plotting her next move as a witch for hire, and basically basking in happiness.That all changes when a summer afternoon on the beach turns into a nightmare, an odd creature from the depths of the ocean surfacing and attacking Hadley on the beach. Her friend Lilac, a demon with a few issues, fights it off but it escapes ... and becomes a problem for an island that bases its entire economy on tourism.The all-powerful DDA isn't happy. Lilac's hair refuses to stop glowing red. Booker is struggling to help all his friends. Essentially, things turn messy quickly.On top of that, Hadley's father drops in out of nowhere and demands she return home. He's not happy with what he hears about the island and decides it's too dangerous for her to say. Hadley, of course, has other ideas and is determined to bring her father around to her way of thinking.Between monsters popping up out of nowhere and her father's inability to stop freaking out, Hadley has her hands full. The monsters keep popping up in the oddest places, and always their attention is on Hadley.Monsters are nothing new for Hadley but the ones attacking now seem to be different. It's up to Moonstone Bay's newest witch and her motley crew of paranormal colleagues to solve a mystery and save the day. Again.They just have to survive to do it.

Life in the Winchester world is about to get turbulent. Aunt Tillie is on a rampage - what else is new, right? - and she's about to teach her nieces a lesson about messing with her. Bay and her cousins believe Aunt Tillie is a little too involved with her soap operas, so she curses them into a world that's one big soap opera ... and it's one created in Aunt Tillie's convoluted mind. Prepare yourself for a world of underground cities, mobsters, over-sexed hospitals, and back-from-the-dead heroes and heroines ... along with so much more. That's on top of Aunt Tillie, the diva of the story, who has not only an evil twin but an eviler one, too. Things are about to get out of control. That's exactly how Aunt Tillie wants them to be, though, so strap in and enjoy the ride.

A storm is raging in Hemlock Cove, but it's nothing compared to the one raging in Aunt Tillie's head. An accident renders Aunt Tillie unconscious in the hospital, and when Bay and Landon fall asleep while sitting vigil, they're transported to a scary world: Aunt Tillie's mind. The couple will be shuttled through time - almost eighty years of it - and witness all of the ups and downs of Aunt Tillie's past. Have you ever wanted to see Aunt Tillie as a child? You're in luck. Landon and Bay will get to see more than they ever dreamed of, including weddings, births and even tragic deaths. The trip isn't all fun and games, because Aunt Tillie is fighting waking up. She's happier reliving the past than fighting for survival in the present. Bay and Landon have their hands full. They have to live through good times and bad - including hanging out with their own demons - and force Aunt Tillie to choose returning with them rather than staying with the people who own her heart. Fasten your seatbelts, because it's going to be a bumpy ride ... for everyone.

Winter has hit Hemlock Cove - and not in a fun way.The cold weather is keeping most tourists out of town, which is just fine with the Winchester witches. They're using the lull as a way to recharge and take a break - even if Aunt Tillie is causing her usual havoc.All that comes crashing down, though, when a large yacht is found abandoned in a nearby channel and there's blood on the deck. For Bay, things go from bad to worse when local law enforcement is joined by a federal representative in the form of Landon Michaels - her former flirt partner and possible boyfriend.Landon has come to town for more than just the case, though; he's here to make amends. And even if Bay is ready to accept his apology, that doesn't mean her family is. Landon may be here to win her back, but he's also a man on a mission - and that mission is truth. He wants to know the Winchester family secret - whether Bay is ready to share it or not.Landon isn't the only visitor in Hemlock Cove, either. Thistle's father - Ted Proctor - is also in town. He says he's there to buy some property for a business consortium - but he's having secret meetings and hiding a bevy of truths from his daughter and her busybody cousins - something that sets the whole family on edge.When you couple that with the hot new handyman, the hipster snowboarders and Aunt Tillie's rage about her wine closet being confiscated for a new furnace, it's another fun-filled mystery for the Winchester witches and Hemlock Cove - as long as everyone can survive the snow, and the killer that hides in it, that is.

The Happy Holidays Players-a renowned acting troupe-is coming to town and Hemlock Cove is bursting with excited residents who want parts in the winter festival.

It seems there was a prison break twenty minutes away ... and more than a handful of inmates are on the run.Bay, Landon, and Hemlock Cove Police Chief Terry Davenport make up their own search party. What becomes apparent fairly quickly, however, is that some of the inmates are magically enhanced. By whom, though?Each subsequent battle results in a tougher takedown, and as Bay delves deeper into the mystery of a guard who may have helped the fleeing inmates, she finds herself entrenched in a fight to the death.Bay and Landon are looking forward to their first holiday season as a married couple.

The truth is out there ... probably. Hemlock Cove may be a town where real witches are pretending to be humans pretending to be witches, but something legitimately strange is afoot. What looks to be an aircraft of some sort goes down in Potter's Field and, of course, every looky-loo in the area turns out to watch it burn. When the federal government shows up to take over the scene and shuts down access to the site, Bay Winchester is suspicious. Things only get worse when her boyfriend Landon Michaels is ordered to abstain from sharing information from her. Conspiracy theories start flying fast and furious when alien bloggers descend on the area and Aunt Tillie starts throwing around her science fiction knowledge ... which is all gleaned from television, movies and books. In her head, Bay knows that the odds of an alien craft landing in Hemlock Cove are fairly long. In her heart, though, she can't quite ignore the prospect ... especially when certain things start happening to further Aunt Tillie's wild suggestions. Bay is determined to find answers, and she's taking her family along for the ride. This time, though, she's going up against the federal government ... and only one faction will come out victorious. The Force will be with them. Okay, Aunt Tillie will be with them. She's a force to be reckoned with, though.

Bay Winchester is having a tough week.As the local editor of Hemlock Cove's only newspaper, she just happens to be present when a body is found in an area corn maze. To make matters worse, the police believe the murder may have something to do with the occult.This wouldn't be a problem for a normal reporter, but since Bay is descended from a well-known line of actual witches, the town is understandably on edge.Between the suspicious townspeople, the befuddled police presence, and that random hot biker guy who may or may not have something to do with the murder -- Bay has her hands full.When you add the typical family problems, multiplying ghosts -- and one monster of a zit that she's sure came from her aunt's curse -- Bay is just struggling to make it through the week.Of course, when the killer sets his sights on Bay, things could get a whole lot worse.

Er, well, maybe.

The Mystic Caravan Circus is a place of magic and mayhem. Unfortunately for Poet Parker these days, it's also packed full of lies. It's been more than a week since she found out an unsightly secret: Her boss Max is her boyfriend's father. Despite giving Max an ultimatum, he's yet to tell Kade Denton the truth, and that's left Parker in a sticky situation. When the circus goes to Nebraska, Poet can't dwell on her personal problems for long because a body is found in a nearby field and it's missing arms, legs and eyes. Everyone agrees there's something off about the death - other than the obvious, that is - but no one can figure out what kind of force the folks of Mystic Caravan are facing off with next. Between the emotional distress, her best friend Luke threatening to release embarrassing photographs, and a local police presence that is suspicious, Poet has her hands full. That's on top of a new clown that makes everyone suspect he's up to no good ... even as he leaves the female population salivating. The clues come together slowly, and when the end comes, the enemy is someone no one saw coming. What happens when the face of evil looks like a victim? And, more importantly, what happens when all of the lies are eradicated and Poet is stripped bare and forced to tell the truth? It's another fun-filled outing for the Mystic Caravan Circus - as long as everyone survives to see another day, that is.
