Forbidden by Kelley Armstrong and Angilram follows Morgan Walsh, a solitary young werewolf whose attempt to join the powerful North American Pack goes disastrously wrong when he wakes up naked in the woods, surrounded by police and unexplained wolf tracks. Rescued and then scrutinized by Alpha-elect Elena Michaels and her lethal partner Clayton Danvers, Morgan becomes entangled in Pack politics just as a more insidious supernatural threat emerges in the small town of Westwood, New York.

Amityville Horrible by Kelley Armstrong follows necromancer and professional medium Jaime Vegas as she reluctantly returns to the world of paranormal reality television for a charity special in New England. Surrounded by ambitious young cast members and a rival spiritualist, she expects staged scares, not the violent, persistent ghosts that begin to intrude on the production. As Jaime investigates the spirits’ connection to missing local girls, the show’s contrived hauntings give way to genuine supernatural danger. With her werewolf Alpha partner Jeremy Danvers at her side, she must navigate both the politics of the Otherworld and the darker side of fame while confronting entities unlike any she has encountered before.
