Raising Hell

Hades sleeps no more.

I woke the god of the underworld and paid his price for a chance to win my freedom. A kiss. Just one. But since surrendering his fee, I can’t stop thinking about doing it again. I am in so much trouble.

Convincing Hades that she’s human is proving more difficult than Ashlyn imagined. The sexy king of Hell believes she’s playing games by withholding what he truly wants: Her. He alternates between outrageous promises to lay the world at her feet and demands for the affection he craves. He doesn’t ask for much. Just…everything.

Even as she denies him, Ashlyn’s drawn closer to succumbing to his desires. And when a mysterious immortal with the ability to enter Hell attempts to kill Ashlyn, she knows there’s nowhere safer than within Hades’ protective arms. Now, not only must Ashlyn safeguard her heart from the seductive Hades, she must also figure out who wants her dead before Hades destroys the whole world in her name.

Where to purchase

Mantirum World update

Based on the latest poll in my newsletter and the sales numbers for all the books in the Mantirum world, the series will end with the In Fire and Ash trilogy.

Thank you to all my loyal fans who jumped on these books and devoured them as they releases. It means more than you know that you endured the anticipation between each release and shared your obsession with other book lovers. You are why this world grew as much as it did.

Judgement of the Six: Next Generation

As I mentioned above, I polled my newsletter subscribers to see what my readers wanted next from me. Surprisingly, it’s not the Judgement of the Six continuation that I thought it would be. Readers are asking for something new.

47% – Finish Fire and Ash
27% – Something brand new non-wolf shifters
15% – Something brand new with wolf shifters
11% – Judgement series continuation

Since I have a continuation started, I’ll probably finish it as a novella just for the fans of the OG Judgement of the Six books. But I’ll put the majority of my time into creating something all-new shifter related, as requested. 🥰

Please keep an eye on my newsletter for feature polls and updates!

Cover Reveal: Going to Hell

by Melissa Haag | Apr 11, 2022 | Cover Reveal, In Fire and Ash, Mantirum

Are you ready to learn what happened to Ashlyn?

Be careful what you wish for.

The children of the gods, creatures hidden within this world, have claimed my family one by one. Trolls, goblins, mermaids, and other beings crave humans like me. Only in my home am I truly safe. Yet, I would give anything to escape that isolated existence. Anything but my life.

When a spell steals Ashlyn’s voice and rips her from home, she finds herself in a labyrinth of dark rooms where she’s forced to play a dangerous game of hide-and-seek with creatures that hunt the shadows. However, in her determination to discover where she is and how to get out, she accidentally wakes one.

He’s devastatingly hot, yet dangerously unstable, and bent on claiming her for his own. And he’s more powerful than any creature she’s ever encountered. In his rage, he can set the ground shaking. But he also protects her, feeds her, and cares for her. She doesn’t know what kind of monster he is, but she knows she’ll need to resist his siren spell and find a way out of the darkness alive if she ever wants to see home again.

I can’t wait to share this new addition to the Mantirum world with everyone. And to celebrate its upcoming release, the By Kiss and Claw series got a new look too!

The new paperback versions will be available late April 2022.

Cover Reveal: The Hunger

by Melissa Haag | Apr 24, 2021 | By Kiss and Claw, Cover Reveal, Mantirum

Here it is! The Hunger’s official cover! I’m beyond excited to share the conclusion to the By Kiss and Claw series with everyone. It feels like just yesterday that Megan rolled into town and befriended Eliana.

Power isn’t everything. But in Uttira, it’s all that matters.

The truth is harder to face than I ever imagined. I’ve made too many mistakes to count. So, no more failures. No more running. It’s time to embrace what I am.

Eliana thought she had everything under control. However, she discovered just how wrong she was. She’s been feeding from Fenris in her sleep, and now he’s bound to her in ways she never wanted. She knows she needs to let him go; yet with him, she could have the one thing she’s secretly wanted. A mate for life.

To make matters worse, Adira pushes her to enjoy Fenris while Raiden is doing everything possible to keep the two apart. Including bringing back the one person who would willingly kill Eliana to have Fenris for herself. Tired of it all, Eliana does what she’s been fighting not to do for so long: She embraces what she is.

It’s time for the people in power to feel what it’s like to be a puppet. And when she’s done, the world will be on its knees.

Warning: Contains an affection-starved werewolf, a brownie fond of public exhibition, and a succubus on the edge.

So much happens in this book. Eliana faces her inner demons, Piepen finds love, Fenris gets what he’s wanted for so long, and Eliana finally discovers where Ashlyn is. It’s going to be epic, and I can’t wait for everyone to read it! If you’ve been holding off reading the series because you were waiting for it to be completed, the wait will be over July 2021. You can safely pre-order today!

A new look and a new name!

by Melissa Haag | Oct 29, 2020 | Cover Reveal

The book previously known as Touch has been rebranded to better reflect the story so many have already read and fallen in love with. Not only does it have a pretty new cover, but it has a new name too!

Dealing with Demons

Some deals can’t be broken.

According to the family curse, Tessa has until her next birthday to select her future husband. However, choosing would mean his premature death. Unwilling to condemn any man to that fate, Tessa searches for an explanation behind the curse and the rules that dictate her life. What she learns is more terrifying than she could have imagined.

A demon brokered a deal with her ancestor in exchange for a companion, and he’s come to collect. Tessa has a choice to make. Pay the debt or condemn a man to death. Her time to decide is running out, and as she’s learned, breaking the family rules always has consequences.

In addition to updating the title, the cover, and the blurb, it’s also been re-edited (over 2,000 words added!). If you’ve already purchased “Touch” and want the updated version, reach out to the retailer you used about getting the latest copy.

Re-reading this was pure joy, and I hope you feel the same!

Cover Reveal: The Hunt

by Melissa Haag | Oct 29, 2020 | By Kiss and Claw, Cover Reveal, Mantirum

I hope you adore the real cover for The Hunt more than the placeholder. 🙂 I feel confident sharing the cover now that The Hunt is over halfway written at an impressive 60k words. I seem to have a thing for writing longer books this year. No idea why that is.

I was fine existing on copious amounts of chocolate. But, thanks to Fenris’s less than helpful intervention, Mom’s building a nightclub named “Man-beef Buffet.” My hell is only beginning.

Hounded by the Academy’s guidance counselor, smothered by her mother, and harassed by a perverted brownie, Eliana’s patience for well-meaning help is thinning. She has more important matters on her plate. Like, dealing with the repercussions of a backfired spell while avoiding the local, hot werewolf.

When something starts stalking her, Eliana decides she’s done playing by everyone else’s rules. She might be afraid to feed, but she’s far from weak. The beast pursuing her will soon feel what it’s like when the hunter becomes the hunted.

Warning: Contains a starving succubus with violent reactions to sex toys, a loving mom who supports nudism, and a brownie with fertility issues. Recommended for mature teen readers and up.

Piepen is up to his usual antics, which are going to scar Eliana for life. Fenris is doing his best to play it cool. The her-herd is starting to get a little jealous. And remember that mermaid that Megan kicked in the face? Well, she’s still carrying a grudge and Eliana just might be her new target.

If Eliana doesn’t end up strangling someone in this book, it’ll be a miracle!
