Izzy Sage is settling into her new job, enjoying her new romance, and only has one thing on her mind: Choosing a new assistant to help her at Belle Isle's death gate. All of that changes when the gate malfunctions. Instead of dragging someone over, though, it sends five people back.Years ago, a group of trainees disappeared while on a tour of the facility. There was no rhyme or reason to what happened and the higher-ups assumed they died during the malfunction. Five of them have returned though, and they haven't aged a day.Naturally, the reaper world is buzzing with the news. Izzy, however, thinks something bigger might be going on. Her belief only becomes stronger when another creature shows up in the middle of the night and attacks.The malfunctioning gate is hiding a sinister secret, and it might just have something to do with what happened to Izzy's parents so many years ago. Oliver has ties to the initial incident, too, and even though he knew the men way back then, he's discombobulated by what's happening now. When you add to that the arrival of Paris Princeton, Izzy has her hands full.Thankfully she's not alone on the job. She has the Grimlocks to back her play ... and serve as emotional sounding boards. Together, Izzy and the Grimlocks are neck deep in trouble and searching for answers.

Somehow, she needs to stay on her feet to see it through. That's easier said than done when death is your business but if anyone can make it to the other side and live to tell the tale, it's Izzy.It's going to be a bumpy ride.

Scott Randall is settling in with the northern Lower Michigan branch of Spell's Angels.

Right from the start, Scout is suspicious but she can't quite explain why. Then, when a local homeless man is found dead - with Scout's name literally carved into him - she starts to believe that she's being set up to take a fall.Gunner is determined to help. His history with the shifters in question makes things difficult, though. On top of everything else, it becomes apparent that the dead guy's ties to Scout run deep ... like genetically deep.

It's up to Poet to find out who and protect two street girls who remind her of herself.Poet doesn't want to look back but she has no choice ... what she finds might be more evil than she ever imagined.

Jack is determined to make sure she has a good time, which means authentic food, music and haunted tours. He's happy just to be with her as she investigates the city.The one sore spot of the trip is the talk of zombies. Jack doesn't believe they exist. Charlie and their boss think it's possible.

Izzy Sage is settling into her new life despite the pall hanging over her past.While the memories of the catastrophe that took her parents when she was a child remain elusive, she finds she's comfortable in her new environment ... even though she happens to have taken up the same position her father held when he was killed.She's the new death gate operator, which means she's in control when souls are ferried to the other side. She literally controls death ... and it's not a comfortable spot to be in.Her only problem is a man ... and it's not something she thought she would be facing because romance was supposed to be off the table.Braden Grimlock isn't exactly known for being mature and grounded, but there's something about Izzy that calls to him.

Even she might not be strong enough to face the horror of what's to come, though.

Avery Shaw has taken on her fair share of jerks.Often, she's considered the jerk when she takes them down ... a role she gladly relishes.Now, though, she's taking on a whole faction of jerks.It seems a battle of the sexes is brewing in Macomb County. A local shock jock, a man who believes women should be home tending children and keeping the house clean while men bring home the bacon, is on trial for sexually harassing his underlings.His followers believe he's innocent. Every female empowerment group in the state - and ultimately the nation - believes he's guilty. That means it's a media circus, and there's nothing Avery likes more than a circus.She has her hands full with this one, though. She very clearly agrees with one side but there seems to be something wrong with the underlying story. When one of the radio personality's followers is shot in the middle of a rally, ensuring he's a martyr for the cause, Avery realizes there's a path to follow ... and it's long and winding.Avery knows who she wants to win.

Scout Randall is more than a witch on a motorcycle. She's more than the magic she wields. She's also a woman with a secret past that she can't remember ... a sarcastic wonder who acts before she thinks.The one thing Scout knows with absolute certainty is that she's got a purpose in life ... and that purpose is fighting evil. That's why she joined the Spell's Angels, a biker group with offices all across the world. It's because of the group that she finds herself in northern Lower Michigan, in a place called Hawthorne Hollow, where magic is out in the open and Scout finds her powers are constantly on display.She was transferred to the town because they needed help, although no one will tell her what happened to the woman who held the position before her and she's constantly distracted by the local denizens, including Gunner Stratton, a shifter with a history he would rather keep to himself.Scout is determined to do her job ... even if it means taking on the congregation of a local church with murky origins. It seems the dead are rising in Hawthorne Hollow and it's up to Scout to figure out why.She's going to have to learn to trust her new co-workers - and a few random outsiders in the colorful town - on the fly because they're all going to have to come together to take down an enemy that is strong enough to wipe Hawthorne Hollow off the map.Get ready for adventure, because it's going to be nonstop from here on out.

Mystic Caravan Circus is heading for the Midwest ... and their first stop is Michigan. Hemlock Cove to be exact.Poet Parker is looking forward to what she believes will be a quiet time.

Charlie Rhodes' life has taken a turn.Not only is she working her dream job, but she's also taken on a dreamy co-worker and is officially dating the office security chief.Yeah, she's still trying to wrap her head around it, too.She doesn't have much time because a high-profile incident in Florida means the team is on the hunt, and this time the likely culprit is none other than a prehistoric shark that's been extinct for millions of years.For Jack Hanson, the mere thought that a Megalodon is hunting the Gulf of Mexico waters is too much to bear. He's on edge and irritated, and that's on top of the fact that Legacy Foundation co-workers are starting to find out about his relationship with Charlie.For her part, Charlie is enjoying herself. Not only is she looking for a giant shark, but she's investigating in the middle of an author conference and the victim was the one person hated by absolutely everyone.

Aisling is loud, brash ... and pregnant. Unfortunately, she's not one of those women who gets happy and develops a glow at the notion of a new baby.When a body turns up on the docks, Hadley decides to help her boyfriend Galen investigate. All she knows for certain is that the murder looks ritual thanks to the tiki mask left behind ... and the gaping wound in his chest.Since she's bored and limited, Aisling latches on to Hadley and volunteers to help.

To make matters worse, Terry's new girlfriend wants to be friends ... something Bay can't quite wrap her head around.Thankfully for Bay, she has a murder to focus on. Since Dr. Lovelorn had his fair share of enemies - and a rather unattractive habit of getting too involved with his patients - there are numerous suspects to focus on.Her expanding magic is also an issue, because she can't quite get a handle on the ghosts that keep popping up ... mostly because they're mouthy and prone to fighting her efforts.Basically, it's going to be a busy week ... if everyone survives to see the end of another convoluted case, that is.It's all witches on deck for this one, and things are about to get weirder than normal.
