Bad Girls Don’t Die
Alexis thought she led a typically dysfunctional high school existence. Dysfunctional like her
parents' marriage; her doll-crazy twelve-year-old sister, Kasey; and even her own anti-social, anticheerleader attitude. When a family fight results in some tearful sisterly bonding, Alexis realizes
that her life is creeping from dysfunction into danger. Kasey is acting stranger than ever: her blue
eyes go green sometimes; she uses old-fashioned language; and she even loses track of chunks
of time, claiming to know nothing about her strange behavior. Their old house is changing, too.
Doors open and close by themselves; water boils on the unlit stove; and an unplugged air
conditioner turns the house cold enough to see their breath in. Alexis wants to think that it's all in
her head, but soon, what she liked to think of as silly parlor tricks are becoming life-threatening—
to her, her family, and to her budding relationship with the class president. Alexis knows she's
the only person who can stop Kasey — but what if that green-eyed girl isn't even Kasey
anymore?

adorable boyfriend, the perfect best friend, and a little sister who’s finally recovering after being
possessed by an evil spirit. Alexis is thrilled when her sister joins a club: new friends are just

dorky and antisocial to gorgeous and popular. Then Alexis learns that the girls have pledged an
oath to a seemingly benevolent spirit named Aralt. Worried that Kasey’s in over her head again,
Alexis and her best friend, Megan, decide to investigate by joining the club themselves. Soon,
Alexis trades in her pink hair and punky clothes for a mainstream look, and finds herself reveling
in her newfound elegance and success. The club’s connection with Aralt seems harmless, and
before long, Alexis can hardly remember why she joined in the first place.Surely it wasn’t to
destroy Aralt. . . . Why would she hurt someone who has given her so much, and asked for so
little in return?

most powerful on the planet – he’s literally the most sensitive kid in school. There’s his superhero
mentor, a former legend who now spends more time straddling barstools than he does fighting
crime. And then there’s his best friend, Jenna – their friendship would be complicated enough if
she weren’t able to throw a Volkswagen the length of a city block. Add in trying to keep his
sidekick life a secret from everyone, including his parents, and the truth is clear: Middle school is
a drag even with superpowers. But this was all before a supervillain long thought dead returned

Last spring, Nikki Beckett vanished, sucked into an underworld known as the Everneath. Now

her boyfriend, Jack, the person most devastated by her disappearance—and the one person she
loves more than anything. But there’s just one problem: Cole, the smoldering immortal who
enticed her to the Everneath in the first place, has followed Nikki home. Cole wants to take over
the throne in the underworld and is convinced Nikki is the key to making it happen. And he’ll do
whatever it takes to bring her back, this time as his queen. As Nikki’s time on the Surface draws

Anna has killed any and every person who has dared to step into the deserted Victorian she used

preparing to face off against Neferet – which would be a whole lot easier if the High Counsel saw
the ex-High Priestess for what she really is. Kalona has released his hold on Rephaim, and,
through Nyx's gift of a human form, Rephaim and Stevie Rae are finally able to be together – if he
can truly walk the path of the Goddess and stay free of his father's shadow… But there are new
forces at work at the House of Night. An influx of humans, including Lenobia’s handsome horse
whisperer, threatens their precarious stability. And then there’s the mysterious Aurox, a jawdroppingly gorgeous teen boy who is actually more – or possibly less – than human. Only Neferet
knows he was created to be her greatest weapon. But Zoey can sense the part of his soul that
remains human, the compassion that wars with his Dark calling. And there’s something strangely
familiar about him… Will Neferet’s true nature be revealed before she succeeds in silencing them
all? And will Zoey be able to touch Aurox’s humanity in time to protect him – and everyone – from

Gates of Paradise (Blue Bloods v9)
Schuyler Van Alen is running out of time. The Dark Prince of Hell is storming the Gates of
Paradise, intent on winning the heavenly throne for good. This time he has his greatest angels by
his side, Abbadon and Azrael—Jack and Mimi Force, as they are known in the Coven. Or so he
thinks. Even as Lucifer assigns Jack and Mimi the tasks of killing their true loves, the Force twins
secretly vow to defeat the Dark Prince once and for all. But how far will Mimi and Jack go to
conceal their real loyalties? Meanwhile, former vampire Bliss Llewellyn has joined forces with
Lawson, the greatest wolf of the underworld, to free his people from their imprisonment in Hell. As
they struggle against impossible odds, an ancient message, woven into the very fabric of time,
reveals just how much depends on the success of their mission. Lucifer seeks the key to the
Gate of Promise, and when Schuyler is taken captive and delivered straight to Hell, she must
make an unthinkable choice—the same one the archangel Michael was forced to make during the
Crisis in Rome. Will Schuyler find the strength to do what he could not?

The three Beauchamp women--Joanna and her daughters Freya and Ingrid--live in North
Hampton, out on the tip of Long Island. Their beautiful, mist-shrouded town seems almost stuck
in time, and all three women lead seemingly quiet, uneventful existences. But they are harboring
a mighty secret--they are powerful witches banned from using their magic. Joanna can resurrect
people from the dead and heal the most serious of injuries. Ingrid, her bookish daughter, has the
ability to predict the future and weave knots that can solve anything from infertility to infidelity.
And finally, there's Freya, the wild child, who has a charm or a potion that can cure most any
heartache. For centuries, all three women have been forced to suppress their abilities. But then
Freya, who is about to get married to the wealthy and mysterious Bran Gardiner, finds that her
increasingly complicated romantic life makes it more difficult than ever to hide her secret. Soon
Ingrid and Joanna confront similar dilemmas, and the Beauchamp women realize they can no
longer conceal their true selves. They unearth their wands from the attic, dust off their
broomsticks, and begin casting spells on the townspeople. It all seems like a bit of good-natured,
innocent magic, but then mysterious, violent attacks begin to plague the town. When a young girl
disappears over the Fourth of July weekend, they realize it's time to uncover who and what dark

After a close encounter with the front end of a school bus, Alona Dare goes from Homecoming
Queen to Queen of the Dead. Now she’s stuck as a spirit (DON’T call her a ghost) in the land of
the living with no sign of the big, bright light to take her away. To make matters worse, the only
person who might be able to help her is Will Killian, a total loser outcast who despises the social
elite. He alone can see and hear (turns out he’s been “blessed” with the ability to communicate
with the dead), but he wants nothing to do with the former mean girl of Groundsboro High.
Alona has never needed anyone for anything, and now she’s supposed to expose her deepest,
darkest secrets to this pseudo-goth boy? Right. She’s not telling anyone what really happened
the day she died, not even to save her eternal soul. And Will’s not filling out any volunteer forms
to help her cross to the other side. He only has a few more weeks until his graduation, when he
can strike out on his own and find a place with less spiritual interference. But he has to survive
and stay out of the psych ward until then. Can they get over their mutual distrust—and the weird
attraction between them—to work together before Alona vanishes for good and Will is locked up

perfecting her tan by the pool (her typical summer routine when she was, you know, alive), Alona
must now cater to the needs of other lost spirits. By her side for all of this - ugh - “helping of
others” is Will Killian: social outcast, seer of the dead, and someone Alona cares about more than
she’d like.Before Alona can make a final ruling on Will’s “friend” or “more” status, though, she
discovers trouble at home. Her mom is tossing out Alona’s most valuable possessions, and her
dad is expecting a new daughter with his wicked wife. Is it possible her family is already moving

put a stop to this mess.Unfortunately for Alona, Will has other stuff on his mind, and Mina, a

she "inhabits" Lily's comatose shell of a body. Her action has unexpected repercussions, not the
least of which is how, for all intents and purposes, she is permanently stuck in a body far from her
previous ideal with a new ready-made family she knows absolutely nothing about. For his part,
Will has trouble coping with the new "Alona-ified" version of Lily -- having the former high school
"It Girl" firmly ensconced in the all-to-real body of his former best friend is a twisty new reality he's
ill-prepared to cope with, especially guilt over his not-so-secret attraction to Lily 2.0. In their quest
to undo Alona's unprecedented body-snatching accident, the ever-bickering but committed pair
run afoul of a ghost who will do anything to achieve a second chance at life. But in the battle to
free Alona and save Lily's body from a hostile takeover, will Will and Alona lose their best shot at
the happily-ever-after neither saw coming, but now both can't imagine living without?

Dreams of Sin still plague and pleasure her sleep, and the mark of Sin's love remains on her skin,

even in the arms of her band mate, Tosh. Life seems almost…normal. The last thing Dice wants
is to mess with anything remotely supernatural. But when her best friend’s boyfriend goes
missing, Dice has no choice but to become very much involved. She knows that his
disappearance was no accident, and it somehow has everything to do with Sin. Because Dice

My life had always been blissfully, wonderfully normal. But it only took one moment to change

moved to Paris to live with my grandparents. And I knew my shattered heart, my shattered life,

Vincent Delacroix appeared out of nowhere and swept me off my feet. Just like that, I was in
danger of losing my heart all over again. But I was ready to let it happen.
Of course, nothing is ever that easy. Because Vincent is no normal human. He has a terrifying

Aden Stone is not your typical 16-year-old. Since birth he has had four souls trapped within him
that possess special powers: the ability to time travel, raise the dead, possess a body, and predict
the future. As a result, he has spent his whole life in and out of mental institutions diagnosed as a
violent schizophrenic. Now able to control the voices in his head, Aden has moved to Crossroads,
OK, to live in a halfway house for delinquent boys. His goal in life is to find a means to free these
souls and at last be at peace. When he meets Mary Ann Gray, she miraculously acts as a

establishing a sibling-type bond. Little do they realize that when they first met, their connection
sent a power surge throughout the world drawing every paranormal creature from fairies to
vampires to Crossroads on a quest for power. To complicate matters, Aden becomes romantically
involved with a vampire princess and Mary Ann with her werewolf bodyguard. Together the teens
must figure out a way to protect themselves, and all of humanity.

Unraveled (Intertwined v 2)
Since coming to Crossroads, Oklahoma, former outcast Aden Stone has been living the good life.
Never mind that one of his best friends is a werewolf, his girlfriend is a vampire princess who
hungers for his blood, and he's supposed to be crowned Vampire King—while still a human! Well,
kind of. With four—oops, three now—human souls living inside his head, Aden has always been
"different" himself. These souls can time-travel, raise the dead, possess another's mind and, his
least favorite these days, tell the future. The forecast for Aden? A knife through the heart.
Because a war is brewing between the creatures of the dark, and Aden is somehow at the center
of it all. But he isn't about to lie down and accept his destiny without a fight. Not when his new
friends have his back, not when Victoria has risked her own future to be with him, and not when
he has a reason to live for the first time in his life….

because he was meant to die, death now stalks him at every turn. Any day could be his last.
Once upon a time, the three souls trapped inside his head could have helped him. He could have
protected himself. But as the darkness grows stronger, the souls grow weaker—just like his
girlfriend. The more vampire Aden becomes, the more human Victoria becomes, until everything
they know and love is threatened. Life couldn't get any worse. Could it?

My Soul to Steal (Soul Screamers v 4)
Trying to work things out with Nash—her maybe boyfriend—is hard enough for Kaylee
Cavanaugh. She can't just pretend nothing happened. But "complicated" doesn't even begin to
describe their relationship when his ex-girlfriend transfers to their school, determined to take
Nash back. See, Sabine isn't just an ordinary girl. She's a mara, the living personification of a

10102001. That's Jem's mother's number. Jem saw it whenever she looked into her mother's
eyes, but it wasn't until four years after the woman's fatal heroin overdose when Jem was 11 that
she realized that the number was the date her mother would die. And it's not just that number that
the teen sees—she knows when everyone will die by looking into their eyes. Isolating herself from
the rest of humanity seems to be the only solution until Spider, a freakishly tall, twitchy mess of a
boy, refuses to leave her alone. In spite of the fact that she knows his death date is only months
away, she can't resist his overtures of friendship. One afternoon, while ditching school, they head
for the London Eye tourist attraction. When Jem realizes that several people standing in line are
fated to die that very day, she panics and takes off. Newspapers and television pick up the story,
and Jem and Spider, targeted as the terrorists responsible for destroying the Eye, or at least
witnesses, are on the run in a stolen car.

Phoebe is just your typical goth girl with a crush. He’s strong and silent -- and dead.
All over the country, a strange phenomenon is happening. Some teenagers who die aren't staying
dead. They are coming back to life, but they are no longer the same -- they stutter, and their
reactions to everything are slower. Termed "living impaired" or "differently biotic," they are doing
their best to fit into a society that doesn’t want them. Fitting in is hard enough when you don’t
have the look or attitude, but when almost everyone else is alive and you’re not, it’s close to
impossible. The kids at Oakvale High don’t want to take classes or eat in the cafeteria next to
someone who isn’t breathing. And there are no laws that exist to protect the differently biotic from
the people who want them to disappear -- for good. With her pale skin and Goth wardrobe,
Phoebe has never run with the popular crowd. But no one can believe it when she falls for
Tommy Williams, the leader of the dead kids. Not her best friend, Margi, whose fear of the
differently biotic is deeply rooted in guilt over the past. And especially not her neighbor, Adam, the
star of the football team. Adam has just realized his feelings for Phoebe run much deeper than
just friendship. He would do anything for her, but what if protecting Tommy is the one thing that
would make her happy?
