"After surviving countless assaults from the ruthless Children of Z, Vicki, Theo, and their young charges have carved out a fragile but stable existence.
All they yearn for now is a safe haven where they can provide a semblance of normalcy for the children they've come to love as their own. But in a world still fraught with danger, tranquility seems like a distant dream.
As Vicki and Theo strive to create a secure and nurturing environment for the girls, they must navigate new threats. Zombie hordes continue to plague their path, and the dangers of unwelcome visitors loom large. Every day brings new challenges as they teach the children vital survival skills, including the crucial lesson of avoiding strangers.
Amidst the turmoil, Vicki finds her heart slowly opening to Theo. As their shared experiences deepen, she begins to confront her fears and uncertainties about love and relationships. Learning to trust Theo not only as a partner in survival but also as someone she can rely on emotionally, Vicki starts to embrace a love she had long thought impossible.
Despite their struggles, Vicki's makeshift family grows, finding solace and strength in unity. But the shadow of the Children of Z still hovers ominously, reminding them that true safety remains elusive.
In We Don't Talk to Strangers, book two of Babysitter of the Apocalypse, Vicki and her family face the trials of building a new life amidst relentless chaos. With heart-pounding action and deep emotional stakes, this installment explores the enduring power of hope, love, and the unbreakable bonds that keep them fighting for a future they desperately crave."
"In a world overrun by the undead, with no experience in parenthood and an empty past that haunts her every step, Vicki is the last person you'd expect to be a caregiver.
A borderline alcoholic struggling to keep her demons at bay, she's suddenly thrust into the role of protector for two young children.
Just as they think they can take a breath and relax, tragedy strikes, leaving Vicki and the kids alone with a mysterious newcomer. Desperate for safety and a sense of belonging, they join forces, forming a fragile survival group.
As the days turn into weeks and the bond between Vicki and the children deepens, she discovers that she may need them as much as they need her. Together, they navigate a world where the line between life and death is blurred, finding hope and humanity in the most unexpected places.
Yet, the zombies are not their only threat.
In this gripping tale of survival, sacrifice, and the unbreakable bonds forged in the face of unimaginable adversity, Vicki and her makeshift family will stop at nothing to find safety, no matter the odds. Babysitter of the Apocalypse is a heart-pounding thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very last word.
Includes a bonus prequel novella."
"The true enemy has been revealed.
The clock is ticking.
Everything comes down to one girl. One legend.
One. Last. Battle.
And Alex is either going to win it, or she's going to meet her end in a flurry of flames and fangs."
"This spellbinding fantasy about a girl from the shadows and a boy from the sea is perfect for fans of The Girl Who Drank the Moon and The Book of Boy.
In which a story is spun.
And unspun.
Clothilde has lived her whole life in the shadows with her (sometimes) thieving and (always) ailing father. But when he fails to meet her one morning, sending her instead a mysterious ticket of half-paffage, Clo finds herself journeying across the sea to reunite with him. The ticket, however, leaves her on a sunless island inhabited only by creaking fishermen, a rumpled old woman, a piggish cat, and a moon-cheeked boy named Cary.
Clo is quickly locked away and made to spend her days in unnerving chores with the island's extraordinary fish, while the old woman sits nearby weaving an endless gray tapestry. Frustrated and aching with the loss of her father, Clo must unravel the mysteries of the island and all that's hidden in the vast tapestry's threads-secrets both exquisite and terrible. And she must decide how much of herself to give up in order to save those she thought she'd lost forever.
Inspired by Greek mythology, this spellbinding fantasy invites readers to seek connections, to forge their own paths, and to explore the power of storytelling in our interwoven histories."
"A heartfelt and powerful debut novel for fans of Erin Entrada Kelly and John David Anderson, That’s What Friends Do is a book for anyone learning how to have the hard conversations about feelings, boundaries, and what it means to be a true friend.
Samantha Goldstein and David Fisher have been friends ever since they met on their town’s Little League baseball team. But when a new kid named Luke starts hanging out with them, what was a comfortable pair becomes an awkward trio.
Luke’s comments make Sammie feel uncomfortable—but all David sees is how easily Luke flirts with Sammie, and so David decides to finally make a move on the friend he’s always had a crush on.
Soon things go all wrong and too far, and Sammie and David are both left feeling hurt, confused, and unsure of themselves, without anyone to talk to about what happened.
As rumors start flying around the school, David must try to make things right (if he can) and Sammie must learn to speak up about what’s been done to her."
"Damaged, Deceptive, Dangerous, Darling.
When a group of teens wake up in the woods, these words are inked onto their skin. Are they labels? A warning? They must find the truth before a killer finds them.
While on a mandatory senior field trip, a flash flood cuts off Sera and three classmates from their group with no way to call for help. But they're not as alone as they thought . . ."
"The pact is broken. The human world that Alex once belonged to is no longer safe. From every direction, lycans from other packs are arriving, forming an army that will hopefully be ready to fight Valkos and his werewolves. Assuming, of course, that they can stop fighting among themselves first. And that Alex can somehow find a way to lead them.
Before she can do that, though, she must harness the new magic that's awakened in her—magic that took her grandfather years to master. She has weeks to master it. Days, maybe. It doesn't help that she's never felt more alone, either, with her family on the other side of the world for their own safety, and Kael on his own mysterious trip up north.
Then Kael comes back. Only he isn't the same. And he isn't alone. He's brought members of the most ancient, powerful werewolf pack in existence—the only pack, rumor has it, that Valkos has ever feared. Aligning with these particular wolves is a desperate and possibly dangerous move, but a necessary one, almost everyone agrees. Desperate times, desperate measures. It makes sense. But still, Alex isn't so sure. Because if she's learned anything these past months, it's that things are not always what they seem—and power always comes with a cost. And this time the price may be more than she can pay."
"Alexandra is having a hard enough time being human, dealing with the unexpected death of her father and a family that's slowly unraveling in the wake of that death.
So she really, really didn't need a werewolf attempting to kill her on top of everything else.
But life just sucks sometimes, apparently. Because that's what happens: a vicious werewolf attack leaves Alex infected, confused, and suddenly surrounded by strangers who all claim they want to help her. Now, all she has to do is decide who to trust. Which would be a lot easier if one of those people trying to earn her trust wasn't Kael, a boy who manages to be arrogant, infuriating, and entirely-too-hot-for-his-own-good, all at once—and who also might know more about herself than she does. Although, it turns out, that isn't saying much.
Because her whole life has been a lie.
But now the dangerous truth is surfacing, and Alex suddenly finds herself a would-be pawn in the center of an ancient war between wolves and monsters. A war that will force her to make an impossible choice, thanks to the magic tied to her bloodline. Magic that could protect the entire human world . . . or leave it to the mercy of the monsters."
"A Missing Girl
For months, there's been no sign of Alex's sister, who she fought so desperately to rescue. She's disappeared without a trace.
A Series of Warnings
A werewolf is stalking Alex's once sleepy southern town. People are dying, and Alex thinks she knows the reason: her refusal to give in to Valkos. The growing bodycount is a warning. He is trying to break her, and now neighboring packs—once allies—are convinced that she is a risk that needs to be eliminated before she's broken.
An Unexpected Visitor
Just when things between Alex and Kael are starting to make sense amongst all the chaos around them, a dark part of Kael's past returns in the most unexpected of places, and threatens to turn them upside down all over again.
An Impossible Betrayal
Alex thought she finally knew who she could trust.
She was wrong.
And her mistake may mean war."
