Publisher's summary

When she came to Detroit, Isabella “Izzy” Sage was looking for answers about the death of her parents, who were killed while doing the very job she’s about to take on: managing the death gate - a border between the living and the dead, located on Belle Isle. What she found was a sense of family, a little romance, and a whole lot of adventure.

Join Izzy and her new friends, the Grimlocks, as they tackle a myriad of monsters and search for the truth about what happened to Izzy’s parents when something terrible crossed over from another world and upended Izzy’s life, when she was just a child. The laughter, love, and danger are nonstop.

This omnibus includes the first three titles in the Death Gate supernatural thriller series: Only the Lonely, Only the Quiet, and Only the Lost.

Ashling Ashling Ashling!!!

Love the weirdness and the characters. I want an omelet bar and an ice cream bar!!! The only reason I gave 4 stars for performance instead of 5 is because Aisling is pronounced Ashling. In Only The Lonely Aisling's name is in almost every third sentence.AAAAGGGGGHHH. Sorry, I'm okay now.

Great book. I laughed and cry along the way

Amanda M Lee is a new all time favorite author. She has a way of drawing you into a book and getting your feeling involved. I can't wait to read the next one in this series. I love the Grimlock's and all of the other characters. I love how she gets other characters from other series into the mix. I have never laughed and cried reading a book as I have reading hers books. The only other Authors that have manged to do that are Nora Roberts, JD Robb, Catherine Coulter, and Richard H. Stephens. Would love to find more that can do that.

So creative

How fun to have a new kind of magic! And of course, I love it that the Grimlocks are in the thick of it all.

Aiden is NOT a stoner

the narrater did well with many voices but Aiden sounds like a stoner in the story. Why is his voice so lackluster?
