The Story
Mary Alice Brannigan doesn’t believe in demons. She does believe in saving Dreamland, the decaying amusement park in her home town that she’s been hired to restore. But when odd things begin to happen in the park, she investigates and discovers that Dreamland is a prison for the Untouchables, the five most powerful demons in the history of the world. And if that wasn’t enough to deal with, there’s a guy she’s falling hard for, and there’s something about him that’s not quite . . . right. But rocky romances and demented demons aren’t Mab’s only problems: she’s also coping with a crooked politician, a supernatural raven, a secret government agency, an inexperienced sorceress, an unsettling inheritance, and some mind-boggling revelations from her past. As her personal demons wreck her newfound relationship and real demons wreck the park, Mab faces down immortal evil and discovers what everybody who’s ever been to an amusement park knows: the end of the ride is the wildest.
