The two fight it out, but unbeknownst to them, Captain Hatch is no longer wheelchair bound and weak: he's the Devil, and is determined to cause as much chaos, death and destruction as possible. Having been trapped in her own coffin, Alex is the only one who knows the truth about him. Can she reunite with Tom and Hal?

While he's away, he needs the Honolulu Heights residents to look after his special charge, werewolf Bobby. Bobby's been locked up in the archive for decades and is consequently more na¯ve and socially awkward than Tom ever was. For once, someone is in Tom's thrall. Hal's also entrusted with 'sorting out' vampire Crumb's rampage. Alex reckons this is posh boy talk for putting a stake in his heart but Hal's determined to rehabilitate the wayward vampire.

3. Pie and Prejudice

February 17, 2013

Larry is successful. Television weatherman, beauty queen wife, sharp suits and flash cars. Larry is also an untrustworthy slime ball. Not that Tom realizes that, because Tom's in Larry's thrall - after all, Larry's a successful werewolf. Tom feels that he'll never progress in life, it's always the Hals of this world that get promoted, not his kind. But in Larry he sees a chance to learn from a master. Problem is, Larry isn't all that he seems. Neither, in fact, is Hal's friend, Lady Mary. Hal and Mary have been friends for over two hundred and fifty years, but it takes Alex's intervention to let Mary reveal her true nature - and her true feelings - to Hal.

Hotel resident Captain Hatch is busy manipulating Tom and Hal until the two of them are at each other's throats. And Mr. Rook has a plan to justify his secret government department by using the new and slightly unhinged vampire Crumb to show the importance of keeping supernaturals under control.

1. The Trinity

February 3, 2013

Hal's back on the wagon and thinks he's ready to face the world again. That is until he's accidentally involved in innocent bystander Crumb's death and 'saves' him by recruiting him as a vampire. When Tom and Alex find him tied up in the basement, there's hell to pay. Or there would be if they hadn't lost him. Meanwhile, Mr. Rook, a civil servant in charge of keeping supernaturals at bay, is told that his secret department is being shut down. Having an uncontrollable vampire on the loose isn't the ideal scenario for him, either. Or is it?
