This teen gothic mystery novel, perfect for fans of Madeleine Roux and Lisa Maxwell, takes readers to the cold, creepy island of Darkhaven, where a girl with unexplained blackouts grapples with secrets from her dead mother''s past and a legacy of murders that have been committed by her family. Ivy Bloodgood''s mother is dead, and she should probably be sad about it. But she isn''t. Myra Bloodgood was a manipulative personality who never told the truth—about where she came from, who Ivy''s father was, or why they were living their lives on the run. Now that Ivy has been sent to the family estate on Darkhaven, an island off the New England coast, she is forced to reckon with her mother''s past. Ivy can tell right away there are long-held family secrets buried within these walls, but when she wakes up from one of her nightmares covered in someone else''s blood, Ivy fears that whatever demons her mother battled while she was alive have come to roost in her own mind. Scared that she can no longer trust what she sees, Ivy seeks the help of a boy who thinks her episodes are connected to the sordid history of Darkhaven—but what they don''t know might kill them both.

Praise: "Urban fantasy has a special place in my heart, and the Occult Detective is perhaps the fundamental urban-fantasy archetype. An anthology of this kind is can serve two purposes: The first is to provide a taste of the genre to those that might otherwise be unfamiliar with it, and the second is to provide fans of the genre a chance to discover writers they may not have already come across. It was well worth the read and I would recommend it wholeheartedly for any fan of the urban fantasy/occult detective genre; even more so if you are unfamiliar with the genre and would like a taste as to what it’s all about." — Nick Bronson -- "Urban Fantasy readers will love this book, and it is a first-rate group of stories." — Paul Lappan, Reviewer

"GOOD INTENTIONS," Part Three While Alex and an unlikely ally try to get inside N-GEN, JohnnyÕs mysterious employer, Alex must also deal with the fallout of LegionÕs demise as a host of demons vie for supremacy in NYC.

"GOOD INTENTIONS," Part Two Alex and Debbie work to unravel the mystery of Johnny''s reappearance and where he''s been for the past six years. The answers don''t lead anywhere good.

NEW STORY ARC "GOOD INTENTIONS," Part One Breaking a demon''s stranglehold on New York City was only the beginning for Alex and Team Witchblade''s now somebody much worse than a demon wants the Artifact, and they''ll do anything to get it.

It''s a story Abby and Dean know wellÑa popular politician, a lone gunman, and lives shattered. But that''s where the story they know stops, because when ULTRA is involved, nobody is innocent, dead people don''t tend to stay that way, and Dean is about to meet the Alpha subject who''s been haunting his dreams for monthsÑwith earth-shattering results.

"LIFE AFTER," Part Four Alex has survived her first major test as the Witchblade, but now a far more powerful foe has set its sights on taking her down, and to come out on top, Alex must fully embrace her role as the Witchblade''s hostÑwhich will mean sacrificing her life as she knows it for good.

Abby and Dean form an unlikely alliance with Grant Shaw, a former ULTRA operative, and just when they think they''ve got ULTRA on the run, a new Alpha subject changes everything.

Abby and Kimiko go behind the public face of the mysterious Senator Ben Stark and witness his originsÑand a glimpse of the dark future his presidency means for country. Meanwhile, Dean and Nadira are on the run, and Dean has to face some uncomfortable truths about what even those who purport to be on his side against ULTRA and Stark are capable of.

Review: "I love the fact that this particular story is an all-girl affair given that the women of ''Grimm'' have all been very strong in their own right, but never really explored." - SciFi Pulse

NEW STORY ARC Abby''s regained her memory of what the ULTRA program did to her, but whether that''s an advantage or just another complication remains to be seen. Dean''s abilities spin out of control, and Dr. Ostrander puts a plan into motion that''s going to require a special kind of operative one even Abby might not be able to defeat.

Kimiko is thrust front and center in the fight against the agents of ULTRA when both Abby and Dean are taken prisoner. Desperate to find and rescue Dean, Kimiko undertakes a risky procedure to restore Abby''s full memory of Abby''s time in the program that transformed her into a ruthless, nearly superhuman assassinÑ but in the process, Kimiko triggers the full extent of Abby''s programming. Now, no one is safeÑespecially not Elizabeth Ostrander, the woman who turned Abby''s life upside down in the first place.

As Abby''s life hangs on by a thread, Dean confronts his own personal nightmare: his murderous father. Hidden in one of Alice''s many safe houses, Brad Logan forces Dean to access his psychokinetic abilitiesÑor die trying. And Alice offers the injured Abby a chance to recover her memories of Camp CheshireÉ if she''s willing to become a killer once again, for Alice''s agenda. Neither Dean nor Abby has a way out, and when Ostrander and ULTRA draw closer to finding them, the noose can only tightenÉ

Fleeing ULTRA agents and her past, Abby runs smack into a ghost from it when she''s taken prisoner by a private security firm with ties to her time at Camp Cheshire. Dean and Kimiko must stay alive without Abby''s protection, and keep one step ahead of the mysterious Alice, who might be their guardian angel, or guiding them back into ULTRA''s clutches.
