Adam is not having a good day. First, he finds out his very long-time boyfriend has been having an affair. Then, his dramatic exit becomes a little too dramatic when he ends up dead. To top it off, he finds out that the afterlife isn't at all what he expected (he has no desire to learn to play the harp, thank you very much). Fortunately for him, some afterlife bureaucratic screw-up ends him up with the most smoking-hot demon he's ever seen, and he decides he's keeping him. Maybe the afterlife won't be so bad after all.

Meanwhile, the kingdom moves against the frontier, led by a mysterious member of the royal family. Are Haruka's cheat skills enough to escape unscathed, or is this the end for the fantasy world loner?

Deep in the elbow skin of the Fae Wilds, far from the teeming fortress of the Goblin King and the glittering palace of the King and Queen of the Elves, there lies a forgotten hideaway of crumbling single-wides and rusty Airstreams. A lonely clan of beautiful women, clad in tube tops, overall shorts, and tacky Asian-print house-dresses, yearn for a man who can unstop their sewer lines and get the internet working again.

Cass has always had the sight. Although his official job may be to run his coffee shop, in reality, he deals with grumpy ghosts, troublesome demons, uptight angels, and all sorts of paranormal issues. When the archangel Gabriel gives him a message that he has to help a gray angel, it's just par for the course for Cassius. But who could predict that Kushiel would be the brightest soul Cassius had ever met, even if the angel can't see that about himself?

Joyce thought her prayers were finally answered when her client killed her. Yes, she knows, it's morbid. But, so is being a lawyer. Now dead, Joyce thought it was blue skies, angel wings, mimosas, and Jesus. Well, she was embarrassingly wrong. The insufferable, but good-looking Grim Reaper needs a favor. He needs her to represent him in the newly formed Reaper's Court. That is, of course, if she wants to go to heaven rather than to hell, which is exactly where she was heading.

After months of flirtatious teasing, Gabe suddenly finds himself in the presence of Krystal, the tatted redheaded goddess. Making the drive down, she has thrown herself into his life, thrilled to have some fun and relaxation. Only it's not that simple, because it's never that simple. Fun and carefree as Krystal appears, Gabe (and Ellen) suspect that her and her tomboy girlfriend Liz are testing the waters for a relationship. Not that they particularly mind.

He says goodbye to spreadsheets and hello to becoming the first-ever human Goblin King. Rivals? The ex-King’s ticked-off offspring are itching to overthrow him. Duels? They’re on his calendar next to ‘avoid rebellion.’ Wives? He’s required to have at least two.

In a few short weeks, Gabe's life has changed completely. He went from working nightmare jobs and living with awful roommates to a small studio apartment that was intended to be all his own to renting a house on a quiet street and sharing it with the woman of his dreams as he began to seriously pursue his ideal job. But the changes are far from over. Gabe now finds himself in the company of a staggeringly attractive redhead, Holly. For all her beauty, she is shy, awkward, and at just as unhappy a place in her life as he was not all that long ago.

Into this sorry state of affairs falls Eve. She's abnormal in all the ways that count to humans, but at Caelum, where she should be among her peers? Even here she's weird. No woman has more than one mate. Eve? She has seven. And the creatures that dominate her mind? There are eight of those battling for power in her soul.

Arioch loves his job; creating chaos and encouraging revenge is fun, and if he pranks a few demons, angels, and humans along the way, all the better. When an archangel shows up with a message from god, Arioch knows he ought to take it seriously, but what's the fun in that? Michael, the human he's supposed to help, takes everything seriously enough for both of them, and Arioch is determined to teach the guy how to have a little fun with life. If he starts to fall for the human along the way, well, another human-demon pairing can only cause more chaos, which is definitely Ari's specialty.

But there was much more to the realms than the two gods alone could provide, so the Maker created a third, unknowingly unbalancing the Rhythm and setting the realms on a path of suffering.

Together we must look to the past to preserve the future, for if we cannot restore the Rhythm, the realms will crumble.

Someone is trying to make sure a Greek-Australian couple never makes it to the altar, and it's not just perfume they're sneaking into the bride's room.
