One heart for another. One life for another. And only her soul to pay. Two years ago, Tara Corbane made a deal with a demon. Each lunar eclipse, she must feed him a lover’s heart torn out by her bare hands—and in exchange, he keeps her sister’s dying heart alive. A desperate deal that Tara fears is making her more and more like Thorn, the twisted but tantalizing demon she's sworn to hate. Thirty days before the next eclipse, Tara heads to New Orleans, where her newest target awaits. But Rian Connach, the handsome heir to a real estate empire, is nothing like the others. He's single, for starters, and isn't out for love but vengeance. He's hot on the trail of the serial killer he blames for his girlfriend’s gruesome death—a trail that will lead directly to Tara. As the eclipse draws near, Tara finds herself trapped in a game of cat and mouse. To save her own skin, she must win the trust and ruin the mind of the beguiling and broken boy hunting her, all the while fighting her feelings for the demon whose secrets threaten everything she's ever believed about him, and herself. With Rian getting closer and closer to the truth, and Thorn warning of vicious consequences if she doesn’t fulfill their bargain, time is running out to answer the ultimate question: Is Tara the predator, or the prey?"

"They're being hunted … When sixteen-year-old Georgie and her troublemaking brother are shipped off to the wilderness for their stepmother’s newest reality show, Georgie is convinced it’ll be the worst experience of her life. Two weeks. No phones. Hiking. Camping. Cameras catching every humiliating second. Then she meets Mack Gray. Tattooed, unreadable, and—among a cast of kids already branded as trouble—he’s the one she’s sure is dangerous. One night, the counselors are chanting affirmations around the fire. By morning, they’re gone. But the kids are not alone. Georgie can feel it, stalking them from the shadows—watching, waiting, picking them off one by one. Whatever it is, it isn’t just hunting. It’s playing. And in this game, there seems to be only one ending: no one gets out alive."

Unnamed Bones

"From Bram Stoker Award-winning author Lora Senf comes a fast-paced YA filled with cosmic horror and existential dread-four teens fight for survival on an impossible island against a creature who might spell the end of the world. Perfect for fans of Kate Alice Marshall and Claire Legrand. Reckless, depressed, impulsive and sixteen, Harrow Lane is going to an island that shouldn't exist to look for answers about the death of her father-the father who accidentally cursed her shortly after she was born. Things immediately go very wrong-beginning with the sinking of the boat that brought them to the island and an ominous chuckle from something that shouldn't be there-and keep getting worse in ways they couldn't possibly imagine. Harrow and friends came without being invited and whatever lives there doesn't like visitors. With no way to reach the outside world and no understanding of the rules of the island, Harrow and her friends are in mortal danger, and knowing who can and can't be trusted is a thing they left back on shore. Matters are only complicated by Harrow's emotions-she's given her biggest feelings human faces and personalities and does her best to keep them locked away in a seedy motel she built in her mind. But emotions are sneaky, and she's having to face them at the worst possible time. It's creating sort of an "Inside Out in hell" situation as they fight for survival against a creature that seems to be made entirely of terror and who very well might spell the end of the world."
