Change is in the air around Angel Bay. For our trio of hapless Angels, it seems the weather isn’t the only thing with ups and downs. Sadly, they find out that romance can be just as unpredictable. Nothing distracts from a broken heart like a little adventure. When Ash offers his driving expertise along with some shiny new licenses forged in Hell, the girls can hardly resist. When a new and mysterious family moves into town, their curiosity becomes the distraction they were looking for. To make matters worse, an unexplained death and a missing corpse just might toss the entire town into the middle of an ancient magical feud. Can Emmy and the gang save Angel Bay from the latest paranormal crisis, or will it be curtains for all of them?

If Leigh has learned anything this summer, it’s that magic can be chaotic. Despite some headline-making disasters in her last diary, Leigh is eternally hopeful. With Four-bitten Fangtasy behind her, Leigh decides to write a little paranormal erotica with her newest disaster-piece, Bangin’ the Billion-were. She even takes on a rehash of the popular YA dystopian genre in her novella, Regurgitant. It seems that even the editing of another author’s writing can make her unwittingly fire up her literal witchcraft. Leigh finds out how bad things can get when her friends ask her to edit their own cowboy-biker book, Steel Stetsons. Despite the flurry of writing, Leigh’s romantic heart is racing. Plans for the future evolve quickly, and we see just what Luna is capable of when pushed to an act of desperation. Follow these magical misfits as they travel halfway around the world to a hexed Scottish Castle and take on the very essence of evil, in Hopeful Leigh.
