THE CHRISTMAS DRAGON
All Katie Lin wants is to get away from her family: from the magic, from the mayhem, and from the never-ending war.
Unfortunately, someone has other ideas, and sends her a box. A box that jumps.
STRINGS
He’s a runaway Fey prince in New York City. He feeds on love like some kind of vampire. He really doesn’t like people. Then a monster hunts him down in late-night Manhattan, ruins his vacation, and forces him into the fight of his life.
HALF-SHELL PROPHECIES
Frightened monsters. Stolen time. One seriously underestimated damsel.
Katie ran from the magical world years ago. She never planned on being dragged back in by a prophesying clamshell.
FOR DAWS TO PECK AT
How far would you go for a glimpse of the future?
Terrance, Liza, and Salome would do a lot, but family drama is never that simple – especially when the family is vampires.
THE SUNDERED
The world I know is flooded. You don’t go in the water. You don’t touch it. If you do, it gets you, drags you down, and you’re gone.
