Sloane Beaumont has pitted himself against ancient gods, murderous cultists, and cursed magic. Now he’s facing off against the most powerful threat yet: one of his own friends.  Elliam Sturm has always had mysterious abilities. Most recently he’s used them to bring new life to his ghoul boyfriend’s rotting body. However, the true source of his power has been finally revealed and may drive him to destroy the universe in an eons-old cycle of violence and death. For the first time since his parents’ murder, Sloane is happy with his husband, Loch, their daughter, and their growing extended and immortal family. He can’t let Ell destroy that... or himself. Desperate to save Ell from his own fated corruption and to prevent the destruction of existence as they know it, Sloane will have to travel to new worlds, raise a magical army, and fight to protect the life he and Loch have worked so hard to build in one final epic battle.

It’s hard to have a love life when you don’t have a pulse. All that changes for Fred Wilder when he meets Elliam Sturm a few weeks after Sloane Beaumont first becomes a Starkiller and kills a god. As a ghoul, Fred Wilder needs very specialized medicine to combat his constantly rotting body. As a thief, Fred needs that body in good condition. Fortunately for him, Ell does the impossible: brings new life to Fred’s dead flesh. Just being around Ell makes Fred feel alive for the first time since his untimely demise. He’s so charmed by Ell’s bright personality and shared love of obscure fantasy that he doesn’t think twice about the source of Ell’s power. But this is Archersville, so their blossoming romance is threatened by a dangerous painting that could awaken an ancient god who could destroy the world. Now the fate of billions hinges on Fred completing a daring heist. But as Fred and Ell work together, the true depth of Ell’s power becomes impossible for Fred to ignore, and he’s forced to accept that perhaps the biggest mystery—and the biggest threat—has been with them all along….

Es passt einfach alles zusammen: als Ted die Liebe seines Lebens kennenlernt, ist er von oben bis unten mit dem Blut eines Mordopfers bedeckt. Ted Sturm arbeitet fÜr ein Bestattungsunternehmen. Er hat ein loses Mundwerk, ein großes Herz und die zweifelhafte Gabe, mit Toten kommunizieren zu kÖnnen. UnglÜcklicherweise sind Tote keine guten Freunde, und sein einziger lebender Freund, mit dem er auch die Wohnung teilt, hat gerade eine streunende Katze aufgenommen, die Ted das Leben zur HÖlle macht. Und diese Katze - eigentlich ein Kater - hat es in sich. So kommt es, dass Ted sich plÖtzlich in einer anderen Dimension wiederfindet. Auf einer Leiche. Ted wird des Mordes angeklagt und sein einziger VerbÜndeter in dieser merkwÜrdigen Welt voller magischer Wesen und Unwesen ist KÖnig Grell, ein sarkastischer, geiler, katzenartiger Unsterblicher mit beeindruckenden FÄhigkeiten. Und einer beeindruckenden Anatomie. Die beiden werden in eine kosmische VerschwÖrung verwickelt, umgeben von gefÄhrlichen Feinden. Mit Teds spezieller Begabung und Grells Magie mÜssen sie versuchen, der Sache auf den Grund zu gehen, um Teds Leben zu retten. Es gibt da nur ein Problem: Ted muss Grells unzweideutigen Avancen widerstehen. Und er ist sich nicht sicher, ob er das Überhaupt will.

People talk about the marriage of true minds, but Alexander doesn’t think this is what they meant. After a cruel experiment binds him to the soul of Rota, an old god, Alexander has one mission: find Rota’s body. Having a godly boyfriend is great, but it would be better to have one that he could actually touch. Unfortunately, even Alexander’s ability to command Rota’s divine power hasn’t helped. A rare book of poetry may finally provide the answer. The expertise they need translating it brings them to Oleander Logue, a young man with plenty of problems that seem at odds with his cheerful nature. Ollie is happy to help, but he’s in trouble with a gangster who demands that Alexander and Rota solve a series of murders first. Desperate, Alexander and Rota accept the case… but it’s not that simple. The gangster’s threats to Ollie’s safety disturb them both, but is that because they’re both growing more attracted to Ollie… or because he’s a potential host for Rota? If they can’t solve these murders, they may never find out.

Newlyweds Sloane and Loch are eagerly expecting their first child, though for Sloane that excitement is tempered by pregnancy side effects. Carrying a god’s baby would be enough to deal with, especially with the whole accelerated gestation thing, but it’s not like Sloane can take maternity leave. He works for himself as a private investigator. Which leads him to his next case. At least this strange new mystery distracts him from the stress of constant puking. When two priests are murdered within hours of each other, a woman named Daphne hires Sloane and Loch to track down the prime suspect—her brother—before the police do. Between untangling a conspiracy of lies and greed, going toe-to-toe with a gangster, and stealing a cat, they hardly have time to decorate a nursery….

But when they run afoul of a strange cult, Merrick's secret identity as Gordoth the Untouched slips out… and so do Chase's feelings.

A Sucker For Love Mystery It's just Ted's luck that he meets the love of his life while covered in the blood of a murder victim. Funeral worker Ted Sturm has a foul mouth, a big heart, and a knack for communicating with the dead. Unfortunately the dead don't make very good friends, and Ted's only living pal, his roommate, just rescued a strange cat who's determined to make his life even more miserable.  This cat is more than he seems, and soon Ted finds himself in an alternate dimension… and on top of a dead body. When Ted is accused of murder, his only ally in a strange world full of powerful magical beings calling for his head is King Grell, a sarcastic, randy, catlike immortal with impressive abilities… and anatomy. The two soon find themselves at the center of a cosmic conspiracy and surrounded by dangerous enemies. But with Ted's special skills and Grell's magic, they have a chance to get to the bottom of the mystery and save Ted. There's just one problem: Ted's got to resist Grell's aggressive advances… and he isn't sure he wants to.

Nothing brings two men--or one man and an ancient god--together like revenge. Private investigator Sloane sacrificed his career in law enforcement in pursuit of his parents' murderer. Like them, he is a follower of long-forgotten gods, practicing their magic and offering them his prayers... not that he's ever gotten a response. Until now. Azaethoth the Lesser might be the patron of thieves and tricksters, but he takes care of his followers. He's come to earth to avenge the killing of one of his favorites, and maybe charm the pants off the cute detective Fate has placed in his path. If he has his way, they'll do much more than bring a killer to justice. In fact, he's sure he's found the man he'll spend his immortal life with. Sloane's resolve is crumbling under Azaethoth's surprising sweetness, and the tentacles he sometimes glimpses escaping the god's mortal form set his imagination alight. But their investigation gets stranger and deadlier with every turn. To survive, they'll need a little faith... and a lot of mystical firepower.
