We’ve all heard the story of the four horsemen. Harbingers of the apocalypse. Destruction given form. Four of the sexiest—wait no—forget that. You get my point.
So imagine my surprise when I find out everything I’ve ever been told, is a lie.
But we’re getting ahead of ourselves here. Let’s start from the beginning.
My name is Ruby Morningstar. I run a tattoo parlor in Portland with my best-friend, have a pet raccoon, a crazy ex that stalks me, not to mention this one little thing… I’m a demon. Half-succubus to be exact. For the last twenty-three years of my life, that’s the story I believed, but on the day a handsome stranger bails me out of jail, my world is turned upside down, and suddenly I don’t know who I am anymore.
Because the four horsemen aren’t the bringers of the apocalypse.
I am.
Talk about never catching a break.

"Wow, I could not put this down to save my life! Ruby is badass yet so easy to relate to. And of the four horsemen, it’s hard to pick just one. Their personalities are so different yet each one draws me to him."
​
"I'm not into reverse harem books but I'm into this one! Awesome story! Awesome characters, I mean hello the 4 horseman and Lucifers daughter!!! Plus a pet raccoon and a banshee for a best friend...sign me the f!@# up for book 2!!!"
​
"I loved the story line, the characters, and the way Kel Carpenter wove it all together in this fun story. Sassy, sarcastic Ruby is in for the surprise of her life, and we get to go along for the ride. A real gem. Don't miss out on this book."
​
"Kel Carpenter has delivered an original, fun, paranormal read with lots of humor and with an interesting twist on the end of the world biblical prophecy. With a unique storyline - it is a sensual thrilling ride that is filled with action and humour."

Wicked Games
So…as it turns out, I really am Lucifer's Daughter. Hell's Heir. And--you guessed it--the next Queen of the Damned.
But what if I don't want to rule?
With the imp in hiding, and Josh gone from this world, I still wasn't safe. Not by a long shot. Dear ol' Dad didn't just pass on his legacy and mark. He also passed on all of Hell's problems, and that means his enemies, are now mine.
Fortunately for me, I have the Four Horsemen, my banshee best friend, and a pissed off raccoon on my side.
But now I have the beast to contend with. My psychotic, possessive, and downright scary alter-ego was dead set on having the Horsemen, not only at my back, but in my bed. As if learning to control the flames of Hell wasn't a hard enough job by itself.
Would it have been too hard for Lucifer to write a handbook before he died?

"Wicked Games is an action packed slow burn romance that lives within our world. I will say, read the first one before reading this one. Ruby is awesome. She's a bad@$$ chick and grows more into her powers and beast this book."
​
"Oh damn that was so freaking good, and over way too quickly!! And there’s something odd about the trash panda, I’m not sure what yet, but I’m pretty sure he doesn’t act like a normal raccoon. (Can I have book 3 now?) Seriously, this series is so good."
​
"I devoured this book in less than a day. Wow! Will the Horsemen be able to handle her? The sexy gorgeous men made just for her? Hot, sexy protectors."
​
"I am soooooo loving this series! I said it once and I will say it again, not a big fan of reverse harem novels, but Kel Carpenter has changed my mind!"
​
Infernal Desires
They say there’s no rest for the wicked, and New Orleans never knew how true that was until I came to town.
Nobody told me that when I entered the transition, the very gifts of my demonic lineage would be used against me. Nobody warned me that the flames of Hell would burn from within. Or that I’d be driven to lust and madness, my chaotic magic becoming more wild and unruly than ever before.
The only way to save myself—and the world—was to give the beast what she wanted: control.
As if transitioning wasn’t enough, my presence was now known, and my enemies were mounting. While the beast was intent on claiming our Four Horsemen, there were things to be done. People to find. Demons to kill.
And when they make a deal with the devil—let’s just say that neither world will ever be the same again.
Long live the Queen.
If I can survive becoming immortal, that is.

Brimstone Nightmares
As with everything else in my life, the descent into Hell was not so simple.
When I jumped into the portal I expected to find the Sins on the other side. I expected to find my people—demons—waiting and ready.
What I found were flames and fire and ash.
The apocalypse hadn’t waited for me. It had already begun.
Hell’s barriers were collapsing in on themselves—making my task of finding the Sins infinitely harder. As the Horsemen and I set out on our journey to find them, we discover that not all is what it seems.
A white-haired assassin once told me to beware of the evil that hides in plain sight.
I should have listened to her.
The fight for Hell has begun, and the duty of saving it lies solely on my shoulders, but to win—to survive—I must unravel the secrets of the past if any of us are to see the future.
I will take what is mine, even if I have to bleed for it.
