    Frank Rath thought he was done with murder when he turned in his detective's badge to become a private investigator and raise a daughter alone. Then the police in his remote rural community of Canaan find an '89 Monte Carlo abandoned by the side of the road, and the beautiful teenage girl who owned the car seems to have disappeared without a trace. Soon Rath's investigation brings him face-to-face with the darkest abominations of the human soul. With the consequences of his violent and painful past plaguing him, and young women with secrets vanishing one by one, he discovers once again that even in the smallest towns on the map, evil lurks everywhere—and no one is safe.

    Megan’s grandparents ring up one night out of the blue to ask if they can come down for the week-end. Megan and her parents are concerned that one of them may be sick, but that is not the case, they just have more time on their hands now that they are retired and want to get to know Megan better. The weekend holds many surprises, but the best one for Megan is that her grandparents are sympathetic towards her beliefs and can even feel Grrr’s presence. This has a tremendous effect on Megan`s moral, and makes her feel less lonely, although her father has become sympathetic too. However, her mother is still dead-set against her belief in ghosts, familiars and Spirit Guides.

    The Ghost Pirates is a powerful account of a doomed and haunted ship on its last voyage, and of the terrible sea-devils (of quasi-human aspect, and perhaps the spirits of bygone buccaneers) that besiege it and finally drag it down to an unknown fate. With its command of maritime knowledge, and its clever selection of hints and incidents suggestive of latent horrors in nature, this book at times reaches enviable peaks of power.

    Corrupting angels should be fun. But damn it. It’s more soul-crushing and infuriating work than I expected. Especially when Lucifer, AKA Lucian, is a lying sack of demon guts and would much prefer to rule Hell alone. 
    Yeah...no. That doesn’t work for me. If he gets his way and I fail, I’ll lose my soul. I’ll lose my chance at helping the Seven Sinners of Hell’s Kingdom to rise with me taking the throne of Purgatory. 
    And unfortunately, Lucian’s not my only problem. One of the angels that was supposed to jump and create a new level of Hell as its ruler has already fallen from grace. He’s mortal and bound to a bottom feeder demon. How the hell am I supposed to complete my mission for my soul when the universe is out to get me? I guess I’ll find out. 
    Four more thrones that must be claimed and my current collection of devils need me to fill them to secure our eternities. I can’t let them down. 
    Plus, I’m not a big fan of being Lucifer’s little toy forever. He’s not my type of psycho. He should be the one to bow to me.
