    Book 22: Psychic VisionsJewel wakes up in the hospital, with no memory of what happened to her or no reason why she was found on the highway—dead. As reawakening goes, this one is brutal, but even more confusing is her instinctive grasping for a missing necklace around her neck. Had she been robbed, beaten, and dumped? If so, why? She has few friends and even fewer family members left to care, but, unlike his name, Hurricane walks into her hospital room and becomes a safe harbor for a world gone nuts. Hurricane had been asked by Stefan to help Jewel and to take possession of a necklace, if it was deemed dangerous. Hurricane has seen a lot of dangerous and crazy things in his life, but Jewel’s current state is something new to him. As the dangerous storm heightens around them, Hurricane’s task—keeping Jewel safe, as she tries to regain her memories and her sanity—slips even further away.

    To stop a ritual for power, bloodlines must be drawn in the sand. 
A war that has raged for a millennia may come to a close as werewolf alpha Lukis attempts a ritual that will give him unspeakable power and incite a cataclysmic event affecting the whole world. He is willing to sacrifice everything for it, even his own offspring. Leading a coven of vampires, Ace aims to stop him, but she may be thwarted by her own past and a love triangle she wanted no part in. 
Her sire and former lover Nero has decided he no longer wants to adhere to the separation he and Ace agreed on decades ago, longing to rekindle the flame between them. But Ace is resolute—the mission comes first, even if the pull toward Nero is stronger than she'd like to admit. Six, the progeny she sired in secret, arrives soon after, asking for help, and her acute instability threatens to upend the mission and Ace's reunion with her sire. 
Blood is thicker than water, but family can be a real pain in the fangs.
