A darkly compelling mix of romance, fairy tale, and suspense from a new voice in teen fiction
The trees swallowed her brother whole, and Jenny was there to see it. Now seventeen, she revisits the woods where Tom was taken, resolving to say good-bye at last. Instead, she’s lured into the trees, where she finds strange and dangerous creatures who seem to consider her the threat. Among them is Jack, mercurial and magnetic, with secrets of his own. Determined to find her brother, with or without Jack’s help, Jenny struggles to navigate a faerie world where stunning beauty masks some of the most treacherous evils, and she’s faced with a choice between salvation or sacrifice–and not just her own.

falling in love with ...

Everyone’s talking
about Mia Page. Again.
Mia Page has been
the subject of gossip in Aberarian for half her life, ever since her father ran
off with his secretary–and the contents of the local museum safe–when she was
fourteen.
Still, Mia loves her
hometown, loves working at the A to Z shop, eating seafood with her best friend
Charlie at his restaurant, catching the classic midnight movie at the crumbling
Coliseum cinema. And if she ever wonders if things might be even better if
Charlie were more than just a friend, well, it’s only an idle thought in a
lonely moment. After all, friendship always trumps romance, doesn’t it? And
she’s never been one to rock the boat.
But everything she
loves is suddenly under threat from Charlie’s ex-girlfriend, Becky, and her
plans to turn Mia’s beloved Coliseum into a casino, transforming the sleepy
seaside town forever. As Mia tries to pull the people of Aberarian together to
save the town they adore, her father reappears, and people start asking what he
wants to take from them this time…
