Ellen and her two best friends share a mid-life crisis by hatching a plan to renovate an 1860s Greek revival in the nearby historic district of San Antonio. Although Ellen isn't one to believe in ghosts, she comes face to face with something inexplicable in the attic. Her ghost-enthusiast friends convince her that they must help the spirit find closure, and as they dig deeper into the past, they uncover a shocking history that someone in the neighborhood doesn't want exposed. But Ellen and her friends don't give up easily.

Ellen has always been practical, skeptical, grounded in reality. But when strange occurrences escalate and long-buried records surface, even she can’t ignore the truth: the house is holding onto something. Decades earlier, the property operated as a private medical residence for women—patients declared unstable, difficult, or hysterical. Their diagnoses were signed. Their confinement justified. Their stories erased. Until now.

Thanatos meets 17-year-old Therese while she's in a coma hovering between the realm of the dead and the realm of dreams.

After Therese awakens from her coma, Thanatos is desperate to find her. He makes a deal with Hades and goes to the Upperworld as a mortal to pursue her and to see where it might lead.

On a remote island in the wine-dark sea, the sorceress Circe has long perfected the art of vengeance.

When Sue persuades her husband to purchase a Victorian estate outside Branson, Missouri—rumored to conceal the lost treasure of Civil War bushwhacker Alf Bolin—she expects a festive renovation project. She does not expect a body in the upstairs bedroom. Nor does she expect the woods below the house to whisper. As Ellen, Sue, and Tanya prepare to restore the 1918 mansion over the Christmas holidays, they quickly discover the haunting isn’t harmless.

When Ellen, Sue, and Tanya escape to a historic beachfront mansion in Biloxi, Mississippi, they expect margaritas on the balcony and sunsets over the Gulf—not a violent haunting. From the moment they arrive, something in the house makes its presence known. Objects shift. Doors slam. The air turns ice cold. And the spirit tethered to the property is not a gentle soul seeking peace. He is angry. As the women dig into the home’s past, they uncover ties to one of the Gulf Coast’s darkest chapters: organized crime, orphan exploitation, and the shadowy reign of the Dixie Mafia.

When mournful piano music begins drifting through the main dining hall of Beacon of Hope Assisted Living, Lois Grover is the first to hear it.

A young woman in a skirt and heels, her fingers gliding over invisible keys.

Tanya is not herself. The nightmares. The voice that sometimes sounds like someone else. When Ellen and Sue realize their friend may be spiritually attached to something beyond their understanding, they follow its trail to New Orleans—where faith, folklore, and history intertwine in the shadow of one of the city’s most infamous houses.

When Sue falls in love with a dilapidated farmhouse near East Glacier Park Village—on land belonging to the Blackfeet Nation—she sees opportunity: sweeping mountain views, one hundred acres of forest, and the chance to create a retreat near Glacier National Park. The tribe sees something else. The property has stood vacant for decades, abandoned after a string of tragedies no one can explain. Families fled. Children suffered. And the land itself seems unwilling to be claimed.

For eighteen years, Hecate lived in peace, but now war shatters her world. Given to Zeus for safekeeping, she is betrayed, bound to servitude as his Cinderwitch. Even when the war ends, her freedom does not. Instead, she is sent to the Underworld, a silent shadow in Queen Persephone’s court. Yet one light remains—Hermes, the quick-witted trickster who moves between realms, bringing laughter to the world of the dead. He has her heart, though no one has his.

Others believe it must be destroyed.

And a malevolent force long banished begins to gather power. In the chaos, Therese is crushed beneath the ruins of the Underworld—and her soul slips away.

Tanya’s sixtieth birthday is supposed to be a celebration. Instead, it becomes a battle. When Ellen secures a secluded bungalow on Quileute land near Forks, Washington, the women expect ocean views, quiet beaches, and a little Twilight-tour fun. What they get is something far older—and far angrier.

When seventeen-year-old Therese Mills slips into a coma, she crosses into the realm between life and death—and meets Thanatos, the son of Hades and god of Death. One fearless kiss binds them together in a love that defies the laws of gods and mortals alike. But loving Death is only the beginning. To stay together, Therese must survive impossible trials set by Hades himself, outwit Olympian politics, and face the wrath of gods who refuse to accept a mortal among them. Immortality comes at a cost—and becoming a goddess may require sacrifices neither of them are prepared to make.

When Ellen, Sue, and Tanya travel to Oklahoma for a wedding, they stumble upon an abandoned warehouse on the edge of Tulsa’s revitalized arts district—an enormous structure with a violent history and a price too low to ignore.

When Sue purchases a quiet home on Kestrel Court, she expects a holiday retreat steeped in history.
