Mila Flores and her
best friend Riley have always been inseparable. There's not much
excitement in their small town of Cross Creek, so Mila and Riley make
their own fun, devoting most of their time to Riley's favorite activity:
amateur witchcraft.
So when Riley and two Fairmont Academy mean
girls die under suspicious circumstances, Mila refuses to believe
everyone's explanation that her BFF was involved in a suicide pact.
Instead, armed with a tube of lip gloss and an ancient grimoire, Mila
does the unthinkable to uncover the truth: she brings the girls back to
life.
Unfortunately, Riley, June, and Dayton have no recollection
of their murders, but they do have unfinished business to attend to.
Now, with only seven days until the spell wears off and the girls return
to their graves, Mila must wrangle the distracted group of undead teens
and work fast to discover their murderer...before the killer strikes
again.
There’s no such thing
as safe in a city at war, a city overrun with monsters. In this dark
urban fantasy from author Victoria Schwab, a young woman and a
young man must choose whether to become heroes or villains—and friends
or enemies—with the future of their home at stake. The first of two
books.
Kate Harker and August Flynn are the heirs to a divided
city—a city where the violence has begun to breed actual monsters. All
Kate wants is to be as ruthless as her father, who lets the monsters
roam free and makes the humans pay for his protection. All August wants
is to be human, as good-hearted as his own father, to play a bigger role
in protecting the innocent—but he’s one of the monsters. One who can
steal a soul with a simple strain of music. When the chance arises to
keep an eye on Kate, who’s just been kicked out of her sixth boarding
school and returned home, August jumps at it. But Kate discovers
August’s secret, and after a failed assassination attempt the pair must
flee for their lives.
