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.

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.

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…

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.

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.
