Izzy Sage is settling into her new job, enjoying her new romance, and only has one thing on her mind: Choosing a new assistant to help her at Belle Isle's death gate. All of that changes when the gate malfunctions. Instead of dragging someone over, though, it sends five people back. Years ago, a group of trainees disappeared while on a tour of the facility. There was no rhyme or reason to what happened and the higher-ups assumed they died during the malfunction. Five of them have returned though, and they haven't aged a day. Naturally, the reaper world is buzzing with the news. Izzy, however, thinks something bigger might be going on. Her belief only becomes stronger when another creature shows up in the middle of the night and attacks. The malfunctioning gate is hiding a sinister secret, and it might just have something to do with what happened to Izzy's parents so many years ago. Oliver has ties to the initial incident, too, and even though he knew the men way back then, he's discombobulated by what's happening now. When you add to that the arrival of Paris Princeton, Izzy has her hands full. Thankfully she's not alone on the job. She has the Grimlocks to back her play ... and serve as emotional sounding boards. Together, Izzy and the Grimlocks are neck deep in trouble and searching for answers. They need to find them before the unthinkable happens and they lose one of their own, because when the gate starts acting weird again, someone is going to have to cross over to the other side - face death itself - and reclaim the most valuable prize imaginable. Izzy's life is about to take a turn. Somehow, she needs to stay on her feet to see it through. That's easier said than done when death is your business but if anyone can make it to the other side and live to tell the tale, it's Izzy. It's going to be a bumpy ride

Zoe Lake is depressed. Well, at least that's what everyone keeps telling her. As she enters her junior year, she feels more numb than anything else. Between the guilt plaguing her over her former roommate's death, and the betrayal crushing her heart thanks to her ex-boyfriend Aric, Zoe is struggling to make sense of her world. She makes a pledge to move forward, and she's even entertaining the idea of letting the friendly neighborhood vampire make a play for her heart. Something just doesn't feel right, though. Zoe finally agrees to join the Covenant College monster hunters, and enlists in the Academy. The problem is, she doesn't trust them any more than she trusts the monsters they purport to hunt. Her roommates, Paris and Kelsey, are worried. They want to help, but they're not sure they're capable of fixing what's broken. Only one person can do that, and Zoe no longer trusts Aric to fix anything. Between Aric's new girlfriend, Rafael's peculiar brand of courting, and the growing sense of dread spreading across the campus, Zoe has her hands full. When things start to come into focus, Zoe has a decision to make: Either she's going to commit to being a full-fledged member of the Academy, or she's finally going to accept that she's actually one of the monsters they're hunting. In the end, Zoe will have no choice but to follow her heart - wherever it may lead.

Again. Aric is working hard to keep her safe, and roommates Kelsey and Paris are (as always) along for the ride. All the usual suspects are in play … but the stakes are higher than ever. When the final showdown comes, everyone has to pick a side. The ultimate battle for Covenant College is about to begin – and neither army is looking to take prisoners.
