But deep inside her there’s a need to discover the truth of her past. And when her identity is exposed, and her hunters begin closing in once more, Chloe knows she needs help if she’s ever going to unravel the mystery. She is the last in her bloodline.

The Divine Chronicles: The Complete First Series
M.R. Forbes - 2019
Until now. My name is Landon Hamilton. Hacker. Identity thief. Ex-con. Okay, I’ve made a few mistakes, but I’m just a regular guy trying to get by in this messed up world. There’s only one complication: I’m already dead. I said this world was messed up, didn’t I? You see, I got caught in the middle of the war between good and evil (yeah, it’s a real thing), killed and sent to Purgatory (also a real thing) where I was intercepted by Dante (yup, he’s real too). He had some business he wanted to discuss. It turns out, my soul is a perfect balance of good and evil, and my ancestry happens to be an unholy triumvirate of angel, demon, and human, which apparently is incredibly rare. It turns out, Dante has the power to send me back to the land of the living, along with some cool new tricks and instructions on how to use them. Too bad this sexy vampire girl crushed them while I was crushing on her. Oh yeah, it also turns out the Queen of All Demons managed to get her hands on the Holy Grail, and now the only thing standing between her and Armageddon is, well… Me. It’s not like it’s the end of the world if I fail. Oh, wait. It is. If you love rooting for the underdog, vampires, werewolves, angels, demons, action, adventure, humor, and a hint of romance, you’ll love the Divine Chronicles. Pick it up today!
