Winona mends hearts for a living while trying to protect her own.

But when a rich angry client burns down her clinic & threatens her hard-won independence, she must pair up with a (literally) heartless girl to catch him.

And try not to fall in love in the process...

GOOD OMENS X ASSISTANT TO THE VILLAIN

Virgil Mora never expected "Go to Hell" to be career advice.

As Hell's Consultant it's up to Virgil to restore Heaven's faith in Hell and save Lucifer, the Angel he's fallen for. Before his past comes back to haunt him. Literally.

A couple in the dark lit only by a match lighting a cigarette between them
A man in a business suit offering his hand
A long chain pulled taught seeming chained to the viewer
A crude pentagram drawn on asphalt with pink Disney Princess chalk and one dollar tea lights lit at each point
A businessman staring at his shadow which has horns and a tail
A man crouched in a cave weeping hiding from the light outside
A man in a white suit and a man in a black suit stand back to back and clasp hands
An hourglass running out of sand in a lonely black room with a skull set on top of it

DON’T LET THE FOREST IN X TRULY, DEVIOUS

When 15y/o Quinton finds a dead student being devoured by the forest killing him from within, he becomes a suspect in the case. But as he investigates, he realises he may not be as innocent as he’s trying to prove.

Mood board showing castles, forests, a dead deer, fungi, a murder board, and tapes

Fifteen-year-old Quinton Crow arrives at Holloway Institute hoping for a fresh start. All he has to do to leave his past behind is keep his head down and paranormal abilities in check. But his plan falls apart when he finds a fellow student murdered, her dead body being devoured by the forest called Wilderwood. Suddenly a prime suspect in the case, he must investigate to clear his name. But when he begins to dream of the Wilderwood, and finds the forest growing inside him, killing him from the inside out, he questions if he’s really as innocent as he’s trying to prove

Shows covers of Truly, Devious, and Don’t Let the Forest in. Shows a list of tropes

Quote: There was a thin line between paranormal investigation and instigation, and currently, the only things between it were me and my grave.
