Summary
When Niko, working her way through the Dead Boy Detective Agency's entire extensive library, finds a way to banish David back to Hell once and for all, Crystal can't say no to her. It doesn't matter how much she doubts her own capabilities or if she doesn't really want to face David again. They need to get rid of him. For the agency. For Crystal herself.
Except David isn't interested in going quietly into that good night, and their carefully laid out banishment doesn't work. And Charles? Charles has never been interested in seeing his friends hurt. When David tries to pull Crystal through one of his portals, Charles takes her place. Now, while Niko hangs back at the office to come up with another solution to banish David, Crystal and Edwin have to track David down before he can destroy Charles' existence, send him back to Hell, and, oh yeah, turns out what they need might be genuine forgiveness from one of David's victims—aka, Crystal's old friends.

Summary
Monty awakens in a hotel room that most definitely isn’t his own, spacious and airy and expensive looking.
And he’s not alone.
There’s a man in the bed beside him, all golden hair and golden skin and clearly not wearing a stitch of clothing. Monty can’t see his face, but he can see hints of tattoos, ink swirling over his bicep and peaking out from beneath the edges of the blankets.
It’s very much not the first time Monty has woken up in a stranger’s bed, and from what he can see so far, far from the worst of the people he’s woken up with. He’s not sad about it, exactly, assuming the guy’s face turns out to be half as attractive as the rest of him. Maybe he’ll be up for another round before Monty takes off to catch back up with his friends.
And then he notices it – the ring on the guy’s finger. Third finger, left hand; a simple silver band.
Fuck.

Summary
(For a moment he can see two boys, one with a cadence as sharp yet satisfying as a burn and the other with a smile more brilliant than the sun- )
But who cares? Beyond this point, there’s no consequences! It files faster, higher, harder than ever before! Yes, beyond this point there is no doom of consequences! Only salvation in the essence of life only attained through dying!

Summary
“A cutie for a cutie,” Niko announced, pleased. Crystal caught a glimpse of herself in the mirror across the room. The yellow sticker on her cheek proclaimed the brand of fruit, along with a cartoon orange, and bubble letters announcing “cutie!” below it. She hadn’t even seen Niko remove it from the peel.

Summary
The thing about being possessed and having your memories stolen by a demon that you thought you were in love with, Crystal thought, was that it left you with some weird hangups.
So, she had trouble trusting guys now. Unsurprising, really. She’d read some articles about recovering after being in an abusive relationships, which is probably about as close to her situation as she’s likely to get.
The other thing— the losing her memories thing, the having her memories stolen thing— she wasn’t really expecting that to effect her as much as it has, once she got them back. But, lo and behold, here she is, in the office, having a mini crisis because she can’t remember what day her grandma’s birthday is.
.
Crystal has some issues around memory loss. Edwin can relate.

Summary
Edwin blinked in the sudden moonlight. He appeared to be at the the top of a tower, or the ruin of one at least. He scanned the room quickly, forgoing breathing to remain as undetectable as possible. Large rubble, but all walls intact. Irons bars on the window. Drat.
And a woman, sitting alone in front of the barred window, head turned towards the moonlight.
The moonlight playing on her hair made her look as if she was a princess from a fairytale. Edwin felt instantly suspicious.Series

Summary
"Her husband had raged. It’s something that Richard has always been good at and, for once, she had been glad for it. He had demonstrated an hitherto undisplayed faith in Charles. "He wouldn’t be stupid enough to crawl away and let himself freeze to death" he had roared at the headmaster, the police, at anyone he could.
Anisha agreed. Charles had been intimately acquainted with injury and danger, he had known when to be scared, and he knew to hide when he was scared. Charles, her baby, had died hiding."

Summary
Monty paused to think. His name. He knew what it is, of course, it's the only name he's ever had. But he wasn't sure if it was who he wanted to be anymore. Monty lied. Monty hid. Monty hurt. Monty couldn't do anything right. But maybe if he stopped being Monty, that could all change. He could become stronger and braver. He could be useful. He just wanted to be useful.
So, when he finally spoke to introduce himself, the name that left his lips wasn't the one that Esther chose for him, the one that she held over his head like an anvil ready to drop if he made even the slightest mistake. It was new. It was different. It was a reinvention.
"James Hook."

Summary
“You can come out of the furnace of trouble two ways: if you let it consume you, you come out a cinder; but there is a kind of metal which refuses to be consumed, and comes out a star.”
The Unexpected Story of Monty from the Shed and Tommy King. From reluctant associates to something far harder to pin down and much harder to ignore.

Sometimes an unlikely friendship is the only friendship you can get.
After Esther Finch leaves a gaping hole in Monty's life, Niko Sasaki goes a long way towards filling it, and then Niko Sasaki leaves a different space behind when she leaves... Monty has to look forward to what comes next. Making plans isn't easy for a boy who's used to waiting. But when he has one...
There's no stopping him.

Summary
"I meant that I am dead,” Edwin says bluntly, “You are aware of that, aren’t you?”
“Of course, my boy. I am not daft.”
“No, I did not think you were,” Edwin lies. The man is either being purposefully obtuse or he really is just incredibly daft, “I just-I-are you?”
“Am I..?”
“Dead?”
“Well I should think not,” Mr. Fell says then refuses to elaborate.
“So you are not a ghost?”
“What kind of ghost do you mean?”
“...Any kind?”
“Oh, then no.”
Edwin furrows his brow, “Why did you ask what kind then?”
“Curiosity.”
Edwin takes a deep breath that he does not need.Or
