    About this series

    A MOTHER'S WRATH KNOWS NO BOUNDS

    Watching my friends die was hard. Getting blown up right after was even worse. But that's nothing compared to waking up to the mother I never knew and finding out she's a monster far worse than anything I've faced so far.

    Now, not only is she trying to set me up with every eligible demon between here and Hades, but she's busy plotting the demise of my best friend Gary-setting us up on a collision course for a battle to the death.

    All I want is to escape her clutches and get back to my life, but with a supernatural war brewing that might not be possible. To make matters worse, it looks like my dad has turned into a bomb-wielding madman. With everything going to hell, all I can do is keep fighting the good fight . . . and hope this is one case where the apple falls far from the tree.

      Some family trees should be burned to the ground My name is Jessie Flores and I thought I was done being jerked around by witches, dryads, and gods in my quest to become a real-life superhero. Turns out they were just getting started. My father's been kidnapped, a handsome vampire with a shady past won't stop shadowing me, and my best friend's family is actively trying to kill him. Fixing all of that won't be easy, though, since I've been cursed to complete thirteen divine trials, while a newb fury haunts my every step. If I fail, I'll die. If I hesitate, my friends will suffer instead. I might not have enough power in me to save my loved ones and satisfy the whims of the gods. But you know what? I'm willing to die trying. Because that's what a real hero would do.

      Hell is where the heart is. For five years my life has been a living breathing hell-literally. Worst of all, I don't remember any of it. We're not talking some vague blackout here, no, this is full-on comic book levels of amnesia. But now I'm back, only to find the whole world managed to survive without me. Some hero I turned out to be. There's no time to wallow, though, not when I'm surrounded by pissed off dryads and vampires who've somehow figured out how to walk in the sunlight. I'll need to get my head back in the game before they do something stupid, like trigger Armageddon-again. Thankfully, I'm not alone. With an equally confused former vampire by my side, as well as a baby minotaur and my wizard ex-boyfriend, I'll have to contend with the forces of Hades that are hot on my tail. I've been given a second chance at life. Now to make sure I don't die before I can actually enjoy it.
