Twenty years ago, a woman with a secret vanished only to turn up murdered a year later on the same shoreline where she'd disappeared. And now it's happening again. Psychic Ryley St. James has found a killer's dumping ground. Six dead bodies took their secrets to a watery grave. And now Ryley's name has been added to the killer's hit list. She refuses to be number seven.

Psychic Ryley St. James has a million problems, but a haunted house isn't one of them. Until now. When a woman is attacked in a haunted house and sent to the hospital fighting for her life, her powerful fiance blackmails Ryley into uncovering the deadly secrets hidden on the property. The house reeks of ill warnings and bad tidings. This isn't what Ryley calls a typical haunting. It's an infestation, and the evil spirit residing inside refuses to cooperate. Now she'll have to risk her life to save her brother's career, her multi-million-dollar foundation, and her new unorthodox family.

There's nothing that Ryley hates worse than her father, but serial killers rank a close second. Alive or dead, they're all the same—they need to be stopped. When a ghostly serial killer torments a young girl, Ryley must put an end to his reign of terror and figure out a way to shove him into the great beyond. But when a fellow psychic turns up dead, and another one suddenly goes missing, Ryley suspects that it's not just the ghostly threats she needs to worry about. There's also a live predator lurking somewhere in the shadows.

Studies in Forensic Psychiatry is the product of extensive research into the psychological motivations for criminal behavior. Bernard Glueck draws his conclusions from a huge wealth of experience with the criminally insane and with the public health care systems. He recognized the need for criminology to be expanded to reflect a deeper understanding of motive and inclination on the part of the criminal, rather than being considered solely in terms of the criminal act itself.

With Team Terraway separated in too many directions, October doesn't know who needs help the most. With Von being held as leverage, and half the group traipsing through cannibal territory to deliver the stone to Lumipad to save the Ekeks and Manas, October experiments with dangerous new methods of trying to communicate with the missing parties. When the rescue doesn't go as planned, October finds herself inches from death, until she's swept up in the arms of the one man she knows she shouldn't trust.

Running off with Captain Finn to deliver a portion of the stone to Silo seemed to October like the perfect way to get some breathing from her two Reapers, but she soon learns how horrible life without them can be. Despite her best efforts to slip through Silo unnoticed, October soon finds herself swept up in a war against an army that turns out to be worse than her greatest nightmares. She's determined to hold her ground, until a budding friendship with the uncaring and violent Captain Finn turns her world upside-down.

Just when correctional nurse October Grace has a handle on her stressful job and taking care of her mentally ill mother, a shape-shifting warrior and a half-vampire plunge her into a foreign land that's on the brink of starvation. Now, with a ticking clock and a target on her back, October takes up the mantle of becoming one of the rare Omens who can bring hope to a dying world.
