When Linda gets left behind in Hell, it’s up to Simone and the others to find a way to bring her back. It will take nothing short of overpowering the gates of Hell to achieve it, But Simone hasn’t backed down from a challenge yet—and she doesn’t plan on starting now.

But even as they rejoice in one victory, another unexpected problem arises. And as things continue to worsen for one of the people Simone holds dearest, she and Persephone are sent on the hunt for the missing sections of a magical book.

What starts as a desperate journey to save one of their own, leads to a discovery that will change everything for Simone, and reveal to her something she never imagined…

The story of all stories.

I expected midlife to change me, but I never expected this…

Finding out that my origins have cosmic ramifications has really put the pressure on me. And while my friends and I defied the odds and stopped the Pretender, our victory left unexpected consequences.

Mainly my boyfriend becoming my enemy—and my potential old-new love interest returning to my life.

On top of that, Fallen villains created open deals with immortal gods who revel in chaos.

And If I want to save the magical and human worlds from destruction, I’ll have to reconcile my mysterious family lineage with my mortal life.

But what I crave most is my own happily ever after, but in order to get that, I’ll have to decide what I’m willing to sacrifice to keep the people and town I love safe.

Because peace always comes at a price; so what will mine be?

On my list of things I never thought I’d hear myself say; ‘Werewolves’ are the best kissers’ is certainly at the top. But here I am, one sheriff-shifter boyfriend later, and it’s absolutely true.

Who knew that all it took to fix my love life was a man who could walk on all fours?

After the Pretender’s defeat, life in Mystic Falls has mostly moved on, but I can’t seem to shake this nagging feeling that something isn’t right. And whether by choice—or force—the other man who held a piece of my heart, Jack, is still missing.

And now, with more mysterious disappearances emerging, it’s clear that things aren’t as peaceful as they seem. My investigative instincts tell me there’s a new monster on the loose—and if I don’t discover them, they’ll finish what the Pretender started and destroy everything I’ve come to love.

But in order to save Mystic Falls, the only place I’ve ever belonged, I’ll have to face my past to pave a new way forward. Armed with my favorite boots, my furry familiar, and my posse of magical misfits, we’re going to kick some major bad guy booty.

Who says it’s all downhill after forty?

At this point in my life, any ideas I had about fairytales coming true have gone up in flames.

Instead of working as a star reporter, I’m stuck writing obituaries; and the only person waiting up for me at night is covered in fur.

With my forty-year mark around the corner, I decide it’s time for a fresh start—and a chance encounter tells me exactly where I should go…

Mystic Falls, Massachusetts seems like any other quaint east coast town. And the biggest scandal I expect to find is that the mayor doesn’t bake his own Christmas cookies.

Instead, I discover a whole lot more.

Now, I’ve found myself squarely in the middle of a supernatural murder mystery and the clock is ticking on a foreboding prophecy that only I can solve.

There’s a new purpose on Simone’s mind—find Chet someone to love and be loved by.

She just knows that there is something good inside of him, and maybe with April’s help, Chet can prove to be not such a bad guy after all. Simone has high hopes that there could be a happily ever after for her and Orin, and maybe even for Chet and April too, but unfortunately Chet’s misuse of magic has already caused some damage to be undone.

When the magical mayhem is tracked back to the demons that Chet let through the gates of hell, they all have no choice but to journey to hell themselves and stop the corruption at its source. But when they get there, they find that there are a few things they didn’t count on, including Persephone’s ex-boyfriend, Jax…who just so happens to be the Prince of Hell.

As Simone continues searching for a way out of the Black Book for herself and her friends, it becomes increasingly clear that another threat is stuck inside the story with them.

But just as they figure out how to free themselves, the one tool they need has suddenly been removed from the story.

Now, only Chet and his special vampiric skill set will be able to help Simone write a new ending into the book and get them back to reality. But when Orin shows up with a surprising revelation, it leads Simone to making an unexpected and risky choice.

And as all hell breaks loose—literally—Simone is hurdled into a moment of chaos that can result in only one decision being made, one that could cause her to lose everyone she loves forever…

After the shocking discovery that she might be the prophesied daughter of supernatural parents, Simone totally welcomes being whisked away to the woods for some peace and quiet.

Especially because it gives her a chance to get to know Orin better, even if it does cause Chet to spiral into a furious rage.

But just when she thinks she can relax, Ned disappears and she’s suddenly stricken with a magical affliction. And no one is prepared for what’s coming next—the arrival of Simone’s magical and highly dramatic parents.

Since everyone finally seems to be getting along (at least on the surface), Simone indulges her curiosity and writes an ending into the black book. Little does she know that what she thought would be everyone’s happily-ever-after, ends up creating much bigger problems…

Problems that send her friends from the real world—straight into a fictional one.

Now, she’ll have to put her trust in the parents she never knew, and herself, in order to bring them home.

Simone Britten is cursed.

Or at least, that’s what it feels like. Because she’s spent the better part of her life waiting for her best friend to realize she’s in love with him. Just when she’s worked up the courage to tell him how she feels, he returns from abroad with a hot Italian fiancé in tow.

Now, after spending half her life waiting for the wrong man, she decides it’s time for a fresh start—at forty.

And nothing says ‘fresh start’ like a change of scenery.

But who knew that a simple day trip to Berryhill, Maine, would lead Simone directly into the magical world she’s always been destined for?

Surrounded by two astonishingly hot immortals, a crazy plant lady and a gnomish bookseller, Simone finds herself at the center of supernatural mystery only she can solve. But as fun as it is being in the middle of a hot man-sandwich, Simone doesn’t know who she can really trust.

Because in a world built on secrets and illusions—the true bad guys are hard to find.
