It's been three months since Delilah "Del" Cross stumbled her way into the mysterious town of Whisper Valley. During that time she's grown to appreciate her new life amongst ghosts, vampires, mages, zombies, and werewolves. Yet, there's still so much she doesn't know. Particularly when it comes to werewolves, which is surprising considering her close relationship with the town's alpha, Everett Hathaway. Del hopes Everett will go as her date to a lavish wedding during the town's Blood Moon Festival. However, with the arrival of a visiting pack, her plans are disrupted and she's left alone during the festivities of the town's festival. She must navigate the loud parties, dark rituals, and horrifying surprises of the night, all of which will challenge everything she knows about herself and those she's grown to love. When the dust settles and the town awakens the following morning, Del doesn't have time to recover from the painful realizations of the night. A murder has been committed and she finds herself at the top of the suspect list. *** Mature Rating: Explicit Sexual Content *** This is the third book in the Delilah Cross series and it is not a standalone novel.

She also has to figure out what she's going to do with the growing rumor that her and the zombie, Bungee, are becoming more than just friends. She certainly sees Bungee as one of her closest friends in town, but does she see him as a romantic partner? And what about the ever brooding sheriff and alpha werewolf, Everett?

'Don't look, Lillian. Never look into the eyes of a Sin-Eater, you will be as cursed as he is and will forever languish in darkness.' Lillian Elmes remembers the warning her mother gave her about the town's Sin-Eater only too well. How could she not when she'd ignored it as a child, only to find herself plagued with nightmares when she'd seen with her own eyes what the dark work of the Sin-Eaters entailed? Now an adult, Lilian's curiosity still burns deep, especially when she crosses paths again with the town's freshly-appointed Sin-Eater, the mysterious and strangely alluring, Daniel Carver. Desperate to find out whether the rumours about the dark priests are true, Lillian makes the journey into the forest to spy on Daniel in his woodland cottage, only to realise that she really should have heeded her mother's warning all those years before. For Lillian Elmes, looking into the eyes of the Sin-Eater is going to bring her far more than she had ever imagined it would - murder and mayhem, ghosts that just won't lay to rest and an attraction that might just be more lethal than the undead who've started rising from their graves.

When the Pandemonium Circus stops in Galway, it's Kali's job to start the show with a spark of magic. But after the curtain falls and the applause dies away, she's just a scared girl, afraid of the boiling spells in her veins. If the audience had any idea how she tiptoed the line between control and mayhem, entertainment and destruction, they wouldn't flock to see her show. All it would take was one spell gone wrong and the whole Circus could go up in flames. Then Kali receives a visitor who makes her an offer she can't refuse. Charlotte de Winter proposes to teach her the art of control. If she turns down the offer, she runs the risk of becoming a dark witch at any moment - governed by raw power with no conscience and an insatiable hunger for ruin. But Boss isn't ready to let Kali go. She's the top attraction in Pandemonium, earning more than all of his sideshows combined. If Kali won't use her magic to its full potential, he'll strip it from her and leave her out in the cold, powerless and alone. Can Kali learn to harness her magic before it's gone for good? Or is she doomed to become a pillar of bright, burning destruction?
