Happily Never After

by Missy Fleming

There's no such thing as happy endings.

Savannah, Georgia is rumored to be the most
haunted place in America. Quinn Roberts knows it is. She's felt the
presence of spirits her entire life, investigating and
photographing them with her best friend. Only none of those
encounters ever turned violent, until now. The menacing darkness
feeding off her stepmother has promised she won't live to see her
eighteenth birthday.

After a chance meeting Quinn reluctantly
allows actor Jason Preston into her life, which has complications
of its own. She's not used to letting people get close. Falling for
him while fighting for her life, and her family's legacy, only
complicates things more. Jason shows her exactly what she stands to
lose, especially when she's being attacked by the mysterious
entity. Each attack is more violent and terrifying than the
last.

With Jason's help, she dives into the
Roberts' family history, searching for a link between a woman who
went missing a hundred and fifty years ago and what's happening
now. What they find is a brutal murder and that the ghost doesn't
just want to hurt Quinn, it wants revenge.

It wants her life.

An Age of Mist

by Mathias G. B. Colwell

"An Age of Mist" is set in an alternate world
where the sun never shines and the land is covered in mist and fog
nearly all of the time. What begins as a classic tale of another
world develops into something much deeper. As we follow the
protagonist, the young Santori, it becomes apparent that he faces a
far more menacing element to this world than simply the absence of
sunlight. It recounts Santori's coming of age as he struggles to
protect his family, and the battle for their survival against an
unimaginable evil. It is a story of myth and legend becoming
nightmare and the indomitable spirit of mankind to live and fight
another day.

The Well-Told Tale of Kaity Monday

by Eddie Jones

A biased, sometimes meandering account of a
girl who wished to be something she wasn't, The Well-Told Tale of
Kaity Monday is first and foremost a tale, one that is
well-told.

Kaity Monday is the only girl in history to
have experienced life as a tree. Before this, she lived underground
with parents who made it abundantly clear, through telling her,
that they didn't love her. When it is suggested to Kaity that she
go above ground and never return (by her father, Grey, and her
mother, May, both of whom hate Kaity) she finds it offensive,
exciting, and then tiring.

Coming into contact with a man named Mildy,
who is undeniably and obviously evil, Kaity makes the immediate
mistake of trusting and following him, only to find that the next
days of her life would be spent in the body of what many passersby
have described as an oak.

Beyond the Cell

by Sara Tribble

Sixteen-year-old Sonata Wilde is living in
Hell.

Not literally Hell, more like a prison
stashed away in the mountains known as The Cell. All mythical
beings were banished to live here nine years ago, segregated from
the humans. Being trapped in captivity is breaking her down and the
temptation of escaping grows stronger, regardless of what it might
cost her.

No one has ever made it out of The Cell, not
with the extreme voltage on the wires and constant guards on
patrol. It's damn near impossible, minus one loophole. Sonata has a
plan ready to set in motion, along with help standing by to make
sure it all goes accordingly. The taste of freedom is within her
grasp and she's ready to embrace it once again.
