Gefesselt
Im Hinterland von New York werden Frauen ermordet und ihre Leichen in Ketten gewickelt aufgehängt. Als das FBI übernimmt, ist klar, dass es für so einen bizarren Fall mit kaum vorhandenen Hinweisen, nur eine Agentin gibt: Spezialagentin Riley Paige. Riley, von ihrem letzten Fall ins Schwanken gebracht, will nur ungern einen neuen Fall annehmen, da sie immer noch davon überzeugt ist, dass ein totgeglaubter Serienmörder sie jagt. Sie weiß aber, dass ihre einzigartige Fähigkeit sich in den Verstand eines Serienmörders hineinzuversetzen und ihre unnachgiebigen Ermittlungen notwendig sind, um den Fall sie lösen. Sie kann nicht ablehnen – auch wenn es sie über ihre Grenzen bringt. Rileys Suche bringt sie tief in den wahnsinnigen Verstand des Mörders, sie führt sie durch Waisenhäuser, Psychiatrische Anstalten und Gefängnisse, in dem Versuch die Tiefen seiner Psychose zu verstehen. Ihr wird klar, dass sie es mit einem wahren Psychopathen zu tun hat und die Zeit knapp wird, bevor er wieder zuschlägt.

In FATED, 16 year old Scarlet Paine struggles to understand what’s happening to her, as she wakes and realizes she’s becoming a vampire. Alienated from her parents and her friends, the only person she has left to turn to is Sage, the mysterious boy who has quickly become the love of her life. Yet Sage, whose house she finds boarded up, is nowhere to be found. Scarlet, alone in the world, with nowhere left to turn, seeks out her friends and tries to reconcile with them. All seems to be patched up when they invite her to join them on a trip to an abandoned island in the Hudson—but as things get out of hand and Scarlet’s true powers are revealed, who her friends and enemies are becomes more confusing than ever. Blake, still interested in her, tries to make amends. He seems sincere, and Scarlet is confused as she has to grapple with whether to be with Blake or to wait for Sage, who is nowhere to be found.

She learns that her mission requires her to go to Florence, but if she wants to pursue matters of the heart, she must go to Venice. She chooses Venice. Caitlin is overwhelmed at what she finds.

And she is excited to join them in Venice’s Grand Ball, the most important costume dance of the year, where she hopes, once again, to find Caleb.

In BETROTHED (Book #6 in the Vampire Journals), Caitlin and Caleb find themselves, once again, back in time—this time, in the London of 1599. London in 1599 is a wild place, filled with paradoxes: while on the one hand it is an incredibly enlightened, sophisticated time, breeding playwrights like Shakespeare, on the other, it is also barbaric and cruel, with daily public executions, torture, and heads of prisoners impaled on spikes. It is also a time of superstition and grave public danger, with a lack of sanitation, and the Bubonic Plague spreading in the streets, carried by rats. In this environment Caitlin and Caleb land, on the search for her father, for the third key, for the mythical shield that can save humankind. Their mission takes them through a whirlwind of London’s most amazing medieval architecture, through the British countryside’s most breathtaking castles. It takes them back into the heart of London, where they just might meet Shakespeare himself, and see one of his plays live. It brings them to a little girl, Scarlet, who just might become their daughter. And all the while, Caitlin’s love for Caleb deepens, as finally they are together—and as Caleb might just finally find the perfect time, and place, to propose to her. Sam and Polly have traveled back, too, and as they find themselves stuck together on their own journey, their relationship deepens, as they each, despite themselves, can’t help feeling more deeply for each other. But all is not well. Kyle has come back, too, as has his evil sidekick, Sergei, and they are both intent on destroying everything good in Caitlin’s life. It will be a race to the finish, as Caitlin is forced to make some of the hardest decisions of her life if she is to save everyone who is dear to her, save her relationship with Caleb—and try to make it out alive.
