Oh, what a tangled web she weaves…One moment, Elizabeth is the modest, religiously devout nanny who accidentally brings her four charges to a slightly inappropriate circus filled with all the things a phobic like her could ever fear. The next, she's sucked into the demonic world of Arcanium and transformed into Arcanium's newest oddity, the Spider.Her anxieties and phobias quickly attract the attention of the Creature, the gargoyle-like guardian of the haunted funhouse, who feeds on fear—and she offers a veritable feast from which he can relieve her, especially after she's been locked in a glass box with giant spiders crawling over her eight-limbed body all day.However, she also catches the eye of her jealous ex-lover, who helped make her into the scared, secretive woman she's become, a woman who wrapped herself in the piety of her childhood cult just to escape him.Between Arcanium and her own personal demons, Elizabeth has all four of her hands full.

What's wrong with a little harmless demonic circus fun?When Neve enters Arcanium, her six-month marriage is already on the rocks, in part because of her complete lack of interest in sex. However, after making a frustrated wish in front of the fortune teller, she leaves seething with sexual desire that calls the Arcanium strongman straight into her bed and pulls her right back into the circus and under its jinni owner's thumb.Neve is unprepared for the onslaught of lust coming at her from every side-from the sex demons that charge the circus with excruciating sexual tension to her exhibit in the haunted funhouse, where hands stroke her sensitized skin for hours on end without relief. What's worse, the jinni has more insidious plans for her in the secret Funhouse, private esoterica events where Arcanium can go as far as it wants.But after a lifetime of combating men's objectification of her, fighting to be seen as a person rather than as something to seduce, her new raging libido and the impulses that accompany it make the effort all the more difficult. Among the free-spirited and tempting cast of Arcanium, Neve struggles to determine what she's willing to become.

Arcanium has more than a few skeletons in its closet…There's a special hell in Arcanium for people who wish to lose weight while in jinni Bell Madoc's presence.The Skellies-the new, female-heavy metal cover band of deathly Living Skeletons-have been looking for a lead singer to round out the ensemble. They find their diva in Vivian Mendez, a difficult woman with a voice like a rock goddess and more skeletons in her closet than Bell has in his band.Vivian always dreamed of being the lead singer in a band, and she's damn good at it. But when she isn't singing, a bottomless hunger consumes her. Nothing is ever enough.The life of every Arcanium Skeleton revolves entirely around food and the odd chef who serves them. But Vivian refuses to play by his rules, refuses to beg him for more and refuses any attempt by the earnest odd chef to satisfy her hunger.In Arcanium, sometimes the harder someone fights, the harder they fall.

Arcanium's fun and games until someone takes it all away.Neve's getting into the creepy, sexy spirit of demon hands in inappropriate places-claws, teeth and an incubus who agrees to just date for a while. Despite her initial trepidation, the dark circus of Arcanium is growing on her.But Arcanium's a slice of heaven meant to be a hell, and a demon sneakier and more powerful than Bell Madoc slithers into the circus with his eye fixed on Neve for his own. When he tears everything away from Bell, leaving him weak in the wake, the entire cast and crew land in a new Arcanium with a new Master who has much darker intentions for its inhabitants.A stadium with glass rooms for display… Leather and metal stained with blood… A horde of monsters who have been waiting for Arcanium to fall… And a red-skinned, black-hearted demon who lusts for his new pet's pleasure and pain…
