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.

"GOOD INTENTIONS," Conclusion Alex and the Witchblade are inexorably linked but what happens when that bond is broken?

"GOOD INTENTIONS," Part Five N-GEN makes a move, Alex makes a choice, and everyone she loves suffers the fallout.

"Gunned down and left for dead on a New York rooftop, Alex Underwood''s life should have ended there--but instead, at the moment of death, she became host to the Witchblade, a mystical artifact that grants the woman wielding it extraordinary powers. But the power comes with a heavy cost, and Alex finds herself thrust into the center of an unseen battle raging on the snowy streets of NYC. Demons are real and walking among humans, and every one of them is intent on taking out the Witchblade''s newest host before she becomes too strong to kill. But the artifact chose Alex for a reason, and she''s not going down without a fight"--Back cover of Volume 1.

"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.

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.

END OF STORY ARC Just as Abby, Grant, and Dean think they may have figured out Ostrander''s plan for her new crop of Alpha subjects, Dean is taken out of the equation. Grant is sidelined by Ostrander''s most powerful Alpha, and Abby and Kimiko are left to face Ostrander''s ally, Senator Ben Stark, on their own.

An original story set within the fourth season continuity of the hit television series Grimm! What do Juliette, Adalind, Truble, and Rosalee have in common? They''re the women in the life of Portland''s own Grimm, Nick Burkhardt, and they''re about to cross paths in a way they''d never expect! Juliette''s struggles to come to terms with becoming a Hexenbiest draw her into conflict with a new Wessen threat, and she finds she has nowhere to turn except her most hated enemy, Adalind (that''s right, the woman who impersonated Juliette and slept with Nick)! Written by Caitlin Kittredge, the author behind the novels Nocturne City and Iron Codex, as well as Vertigo''s Coffin Hill comic series, and featuring artwork by rising newcomer Maria Sanapo! 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

The race for the artifact is on and Juliette is charging head first at her real enemy, Adalind! This action-packed finale is filled with chases, fights, and maybe even a few explosions that need to be seen to be believed!

When things have completely spiraled out of control, who can you call on to help set them right? Why the woman who is responsible for putting you in a coma, sleeping with your boyfriend, and turning you into a hexenbiest, of course! Juliette must fight her urges to get feral on Adalind in order to save innocent lives in the team-up we never expected to see.

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.

Juliette may have the incredible power of a Hexenbiest, but not the control that can allow her to trust herself, and when her and Rosalee’s investigation into a string of murderous Wesen art thefts requires intimidation, who better to take lead than the one Grimm left in Portland, Trubel!

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.

In this thrilling sequel to Black Dog—the first volume of award-winning Caitlin Kittredge’s dark urban fantasy series, Hellhound Chronicles—a soul catcher must stop demonic monsters from her past from infecting the world. After winning her freedom from a reaper and facing off against a fearsome demon boss, Ava is now a masterless hellhound. Her friend, Leo, has found a new life after death: He’s returned as the Grim Reaper—the first in centuries. As both try to adjust to their new circumstances, Ava’s dark past comes back to wreak havoc on her . . . and the entire world. A breed of monsters as smart as vampires—but who behave like zombies—has been sighted in Kansas. Ava can’t believe these “zompires” are back. She thought she’d kicked their asses for good when she first battled them in a Nazi death camp. Now, they’re spreading their infection across America’s heartland thanks to a nasty piece of business named Cain. Free at last after being locked up in Hell for millennia, Cain has some scores to settle. To stop him, Ava must form an unholy alliance with some old foes . . . a bargain that will lead her to uncover deeply buried truths about her past—and Leo’s future.

Following a night of sex, drugs and witchcraft in the woods, Eve Coffin wakes up naked, covered in blood and unable to remember how she got there. One friend is missing, one is in a mental ward--and one knows that Eve is responsible. Years later, Eve returns to Coffin Hill, only to discover the darkness that she unleashed ten years ago in the woods was never contained. It continues to seep through the town, cursing the soul of this sleepy Massachusetts hollow, spilling secrets and enacting its revenge.

From the mind of Caitlin Kittredge, the award-winning author of the Iron Codex trilogy and Vertigo comic Coffin Hill, comes Black Dog, the first book in a new urban fantasy series about revenge and hell...it''s Kill Bill with demons! Ava has spent the last hundred years as a hellhound, the indentured servant of a reaper who hunts errant souls and sends them to Hell. When a human necromancer convinces her to steal her reaper’s scythe, Ava incurs the wrath of the demon Lilith, her reaper’s boss. As punishment for her transgression, Lilith orders Ava to track down the last soul in her reaper’s ledger . . . or die trying. But after a hundred years of servitude, it’s time for payback. And Hell hath no fury like an avenging Ava. . . .
