"Four girls. One summer.
And a pact to do the impossible.
SKYLER, ELLIE, SCARLETT, AND AMELIA GRACE are forced to spend the summer at the lake house where their moms became best friends.
One can’t wait.
One would rather gnaw off her own arm than hang out with a bunch of strangers just so their moms can drink too much wine and sing Journey at two o’clock in the morning.
Two are sisters.
Three are currently feuding with their mothers.
One is hiding how bad her joint pain has gotten.
All of them are hiding something.
One falls in love with a boy she thought she despised.
One almost sets her crush on fire with a flaming marshmallow.
One has a crush that could change everything.
None of them are the same at the end of the summer.
“This was the summer firefly of a story I desperately wanted. I loved the unfolding relationships and heart-thumping romances in this delicious ode to female friendship. You’ll want to sit on a porch by the lake and read the pages slowly in an attempt to savor each girl’s journey. Intergenerational friendships, a few misunderstandings, even a secret society hidden in a tiny cabin loft—it’s everything you need for a soul-satisfying read that will make you smile long after you’ve turned the final page.”—JAYE ROBIN BROWN, author of Georgia Peaches and Other Forbidden Fruit and The Meaning of Birds"
"Twilight meets The Mist in this "fresh, atmospheric paranormal romance" (Booklist) about a mysterious island and the houses who have stood for centuries to guard against the dreaded nightmare of beings waiting to strike from the ocean's depths.
On a forgotten part of Nova Scotia, there lies an island.
On that island are Eleven Houses.
In those houses sit eleven ancient families.
And they are waiting…
Mabel is one of the last surviving members of House Beuvry, one of the eleven houses on the haunted island of Weymouth. Her days, like all the other teens on the island, are spent readying her house for The Storm: a once-a-decade event that pummels the island with hurricane-level wind, water, and waves. But that's not all the Storm brings with it—because Weymouth Island is a gate between the worlds of the living and the dead.
When Miles Cabot arrives on Weymouth Island after the death of his mother, he realizes quickly it isn't like other places—and Mabel Beuvry isn't like other teenagers. There's an intense chemistry between Miles and Mabel that both feel, yet neither understand—nor the deadly consequences that will come with it.
With the suspicious death of an island elder, a strained dynamic with her younger sister Hali, and the greatest Storm in years edging ever closer, Mabel's life is becoming as chaotic as the weather. One thing becomes clear: if the fortified houses of Weymouth Island can't stand against the dead, then she—and everyone she loves—will pay the price.
Fares Well the House That's Ready."
"Red, White & Royal Blue meets A Darker Shade of Magic in this swoony young adult romantasy debut that's an "entertaining blend of romance and action" (Kirkus Reviews) following a magical young prince and a noble seer who fall in love in the midst of war and intrigue.
Shy Prince Edmund will be a great king one day: it has been Seen again and again. With rare magic giving him dominion over the nation's plants and weather, Edmund feels a great deal of pressure to live up to the people of Saben's many expectations, including making a perfect diplomatic alliance through marriage. That is, until he meets Lord Aubrey Ainsley.
Charming, romantic, and politically insignificant, Aubrey is a Seer, but not even he could have predicted catching the eye of Edmund, the Prince of Fortune—nor that the anxious prince who talks to plants more than people could feel so right for him. Aubrey's dream-visions have been full of battle, not love, but to say that Prince Edmund has captured his fancy would be a grand understatement.
As the two become more and more intertwined, the nation of Saben falls under attack. War and dark sorcery loom on the horizon. To save their homeland, Edmund and Aubrey must resist the outside forces seeking to drive them apart and find the power within themselves to create a future for Saben—and each other—they never could have imagined."
"With the help of Renie and Edmond, the battle for Belle Morte has been fought and won. However, the bigger fight is not over, as enemy vampires have escaped into the city and the future of vampirekind hangs in the balance. The escapees must be brought to justice—and fast.
For fellow Belle Morte celebrity, the reclusive vampire Ludovic de Vauban, this is the perfect opportunity to confront his fears about the world beyond the mansion's walls. But he can't do this alone. Enter donor Roux Hayes;. accomplished liar, quick thinker, and street savvy human. She can help Ludovic navigate a world that has long since left him behind.
As the unlikely duo work together to preserve a future for their friends, they discover a mutual passion that neither of them expected, one that burns hotter than anything either of them have ever experienced. But the shadow of old enemies stretches longer than they ever imagined and threatens not only everyone they love, but also the new love they have found in each other."

"Cursed by magic, bound by mistakes, Princess Aria finds her destiny hinges on the mysterious Baron Reeves. Will love be enough to break the curse, or will war bring her kingdom to ruin?
When Crown Princess Aria sees her kingdom on the brink of war with
the magic-wielding Casters, she takes it upon herself to speak with the Widow Morton, the most dangerous Caster in the realm. If successful, Aria will not only ensure peace but also prove to her father that she is a worthy
heir. But when her negotiations fail, Aria is dealt a terrible curse: Over the course of one hundred days, she will be unable to sleep, her body and mind doomed to waste away. And then the curse will pass to her sister, until every member of the king's line is dead.
Aria's best hope for breaking her curse is to seek help from another Caster-the handsome and charming Baron Reeves. He may be entitled to a place at the court, but as a magic user, can he truly be trusted? She vows not be fooled by his dimpled smiles or his devotion to his brothers, but as she spends more time with him, she discovers that her heart has other ideas.
Baron has no desire to see the princess suffer-especially since she might be the key to changing the king's opinion on Casters-but he has secrets to protect and ghosts of his own. The last person he tried to save using his magic died, and he's not willing to risk harming someone he loves again.
As the curse continues its deadly countdown, both Aria and Baron must risk their lives and their hearts to save each other and unite a kingdom."

"Both a profound meditation on loss and grieving and an exhilarating and very sexy romance.' -NPR

“A hot ticket, chockablock with memorable performances.” — Kirkus Reviews, starred review
Dunstan has had big ambitions his entire life — bigger than the small lakeside town of Knockum — imagining himself heading a chorus line with a leading man he hasn’t quite cast yet. But on his way out of town for good, a gang of his classmates capture him and send him to the bottom of nearby Lake Mallion, rumored to harbor a magical door in its depths.
Before Dunstan drowns, the door opens. On the other side is the Geodom of Jet and the reptilian Prince Ven, who is on the run — from his past, his destiny, and the stories people tell about him. Now Ven has a chance to tell a different story, and he’ll use Dunstan to pen the script.
But the door has been keeping a dangerous secret that not even the lakebed can contain, and both worlds hang in the balance. Will the final curtain reveal that not all lights are meant to shine?"
