The blind date Charlie arranges for Laura is her ex-fiance.

As ghost Alex adjusts to life after death with werewolf Tom and vampire Hal, we meet poisonous pensioner Captain Hatch, behind whose foul exterior lurks an ancient evil.

Larry is successful. Television weatherman, beauty queen wife, sharp suits and flash cars. The problem is, Larry is also an untrustworthy slimeball. 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.

Alex is scared. The house is haunted, and not just by her. Hal and Tom aren't so convinced, and besides, there's an Employee of the Month Competition at the hotel that they're desperate to win. Closer inspection reveals the undeniable truth - there's a creepy Victorian child in their attic... and he knows all about them. The problem with Oliver Fitzwilliam Pryor isn't just that he's creepy, but that he's also very, very annoying. That and the fact that he's been sent by the Devil to drag Alex to the afterlife.

There is little left of Hal’s humanity. Having feasted on blood and recruited an army of vampires, he’s ready to return to his hedonistic and debauched days. Tom is set on avenging Natasha’s death and has returned to his default setting – vampire killer. The two fight it out, but unbeknownst to them, wheelchair bound and weak hotel resident 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?
