For over nine months now, vamps have been attacking her city, and Clarissa Tempest is ready to end them all once and for all. Too bad they aren't the only problem. Definitely not the only issue she's facing nowadays. Her father's back. Demons are in town, and this time Lucifer is with them. Amarok is back as well. So much for the dead staying dead. Finally, angels are here too, and they want revenge. If Clarissa isn't careful, the angels will not only come for her. They'll kill her. So much for angels being good and kind and all of that.

Detective Clarissa Tempest knows firsthand that vamps are real, but now there are new problems that seem to be pointing toward... werewolves? Seriously? It's bad enough it took Clarissa endangering herself to convince her fellow officers that vamps are real, but now there's a rash of killings with animal markings from wolves or another large animal, only Bethlehem, PA definitely isn't home to those kind of predators. But then she witnesses an animal attack... and the animal shifts into a man. Clarissa has faced down vamps. She'll charge against werewolves, too, and pray that a swipe of their claws won't turn her into one of them, because, really, that's the last thing she needs.

Nightmares are one thing, but when someone else can suck your life force away as you sleep, that's another. Detective Clarissa Tempest has finally met her match. A new threat emerges in Bethlehem, one that affects her too. A supernatural-inflicted fatigue causes all kinds of mayhem. When djinn dream, humans die. If Clarissa can't figure out a way to find the djinn, to stop them, to even kill them, worst trouble may befall Bethlehem. In the shape of her birth father.

Detective Clarissa Temptest's biggest fears have been realized when her father shows up. Vamps and werewolves won't hurt her because of him. The siren's devastation songs didn't affect her. Djinn wished to use her to get to him. Whoever her father is, he's seriously bad news.And it's even worse than she feared.He contains a darkness the likes of which the city has yet to see. Considering all of the bedlam Bethlehem has faced so far, that's saying something.This is one family reunion that could spell fire and brimstone for all of Bethlehem.

The aftermath of Clarissa's father coming is peace. Unsurprisingly, that peace can't last long.A werewolf is hunting and eating people. Someone is kidnapping people and leaving behind fake gold coins. In the middle is Clarissa's best friend Samantha, who is not acting like herself at all.With St. Paddy's day coming up, Clarissa actually does think a leprechaun is responsible. Can she save her best friend, or will the leprechaun have all the luck in the world?

But Clarissa knows what she's seen. Unfortunately, she's a little distracted, and her actions earn her a suspension. Great. Life is really looking up. Maybe her therapist is right. Maybe she's under too much stress and is seeing things. But then a vamp seeks her out, telling her to knock it off and leave them alone or else he'll knock her off.Clarissa isn't the kind to back down, though, and she'll do whatever it takes to keep Bethlehem safe. She's just hoping that won't require her to lose a lot of blood... or her head.
