Are you ready for a new kind of witch?

My name is Samantha Beaumont and I’m a witch.

But I’m not your average dark witch. I specialize in Goetia—the ancient art of conjuring demons—and exorcisms.

That’s right. I hunt and banish demons and other supernatural baddies. But not with a fancy sword or a dagger. No, I banish these suckers with good old-fashioned magic.

All is well until a human girl is murdered and her soul taken by a Greater demon. It gets worse. Human bodies are dropping like flies and it’s up to me to find the Greater demon and kill it. But everyone knows it’s not that simple.

I might have to reveal my secret... if it came to light, I would be dead and all my friends with me.

Spells & Ashes (The Dark Files Book 1)

The Asgardian Exchange: The Rise of the Jotuns

by Mark Bryan


A thousand years ago, the Nine Realms burned...
...and the gods were driven to the brink of annihilation.

To save themselves, a deal was struck with the Fates of Asgard so that all worlds could live on. As part of the bargain, every hundred years, fifty mortal boys and girls are chosen to become "The Favoured."

These young men and women will inherit a gods' tremendous powers, using them in service of the Nine Realms.

So it has been ever since the Nine Realms were restored.

When perfectly ordinary 13-year-old Amanda West is claimed as the fifty-first "Favoured," neither god nor mortal can answer why.

This is a tale of action and adventure for any young magician longing to attend Hogwarts; this is the book for any aspiring hero who thirsts to battle alongside Percy Jackson.

If you think you might be one of the chosen... Join Amanda in the land of the Norse gods. Feel the power of Thor, Odin, Freya, and Loki. Become "One of the Favoured!"

"This YA fantasy debut finds a teenager imbued with the power of a goddess from Norse mythology...A methodically complex series opener that should satisfy Hogwarts fans." - Kirkus Reviews

Extraordinary Lies

by Jennifer Alsever


Julia and Charley may come from two completely different worlds, but they’ve been called the same names all their lives. Psycho. Liar. Witch. It’s the price of being a supernaturally gifted female in sexist, narrow-minded 1971. 


Until they’re invited to join the Stanford Research Institute. There, a team of scientists are conducting experiments on people like them—people with the ability to tell the future, read minds, move objects without lifting a finger. 

At first, the institute seems like a safe haven. For the first time, Julia and Charley are not alone. Surrounded by others with powers like theirs, they finally make real friends. But as the experiments become darker and more dangerous, and the test subjects’ lives are increasingly at risk, the two girls must work together to unveil the truth behind the scientists’ experiments—and the extraordinary lies they’ve been told to keep them in the dark.

"Imaginative and thrilling all at once, Alsever establishes a grounded,
yet terrifying world where characters who possess extraordinary
abilities are not to be studied, but instead are to be weaponized.
A truly captivating page turner from start to finish.”
Matt Moore, film producer Areu Bros. Studios

With hostile men from the town in pursuit, the two stumble upon a strange and eerily silent creature: a girl. Who is she? Why wasn't she killed by the germ like all the females on New World? Propelled by Todd's gritty narration, readers are in for a white-knuckle journey in which a boy on the cusp of manhood must unlearn everything he knows in order to figure out who he truly is.

The sequel to the award-winning novel The Secret Billionaire.

Andrew Day looks like any other student. At the Saint Clemens boarding school, nobody knows—not even his two best friends Cameron and Olivia—that Andrew is one of the wealthiest people in the world. No one knows that he has inherited the fortune of Lyndon Surway, the legendary tycoon, who disappeared decades ago and was never found. Nobody suspects that Andrew is the new master of the Surway House, which lay uninhabited through the years.

But as life returns to the stairways and ballrooms of the magnificent home, as Andrew ventures through forgotten passages and unmapped doors, strange things start to happen, almost as if someone were watching him, as if someone had expected him. And as he learns more about the people he loves, as he journeys into dark places where no one goes, Andrew begins to wonder:

Who is hiding inside the walls?

Fairy Tale Karma: A Romantic Comedy - Cinderella Chick Lit

by D. Thrush


Loved Fairy Tale Karma! ...I read this book in one day... couldn't put it down." Tavia

Princess Ava married her Prince Charming and they lived happily-ever-after. Or did they?

The Princess is interviewed by a skeptical journalist digging for the truth behind the fairy tale. But Princess Ava defends the myth by relating an idealized storybook version while we find out the truth in flashbacks. Young Ava's mother ran off with another man and her clueless father remarried a heartless woman who made Ava work as a maid at her inn. All the while, Ava dreams of living in that beautiful castle in the distance. Enter her newly sober Fairy Godmother who promises to help her achieve her wish. But her unstable magic and the appearance of a cute guy at the inn threaten their plans. How will Ava fulfill her destiny? And then what?

Things don't quite turn out as she imagines. Her handsome prince is always distracted by charity work while she feels neglected and gets hooked on romance novels. What an ironic twist of fate! Their therapist certainly has his work cut out for him! Can this marriage be saved?

The past and present collide in this funny, romantic, magical fantasy story based on Cinderella that will make you believe in fairy tales!

"Very funny read. Like a version of a twisted fairy tale. So clever... Gotta love the drunken fairy godmother who was banned from the castle! Hard to put down once I started reading." Autism Mom

Station Eleven: A novel

by Emily St. John Mandel


2014 National Book Award Finalist

A New York Times Bestseller


An audacious, darkly glittering novel set in the eerie days of civilization’s collapse, Station Eleven tells the spellbinding story of a Hollywood star, his would-be savior, and a nomadic group of actors roaming the scattered outposts of the Great Lakes region, risking everything for art and humanity.
 
One snowy night Arthur Leander, a famous actor, has a heart attack onstage during a production of King Lear. Jeevan Chaudhary, a paparazzo-turned-EMT, is in the audience and leaps to his aid. A child actress named Kirsten Raymonde watches in horror as Jeevan performs CPR, pumping Arthur’s chest as the curtain drops, but Arthur is dead. That same night, as Jeevan walks home from the theater, a terrible flu begins to spread. Hospitals are flooded and Jeevan and his brother barricade themselves inside an apartment, watching out the window as cars clog the highways, gunshots ring out, and life disintegrates around them.
 
Fifteen years later, Kirsten is an actress with the Traveling Symphony. Together, this small troupe moves between the settlements of an altered world, performing Shakespeare and music for scattered communities of survivors. Written on their caravan, and tattooed on Kirsten’s arm is a line from Star Trek: “Because survival is insufficient.” But when they arrive in St. Deborah by the Water, they encounter a violent prophet who digs graves for anyone who dares to leave.
 
Spanning decades, moving back and forth in time, and vividly depicting life before and after the pandemic, this suspenseful, elegiac novel is rife with beauty. As Arthur falls in and out of love, as Jeevan watches the newscasters say their final good-byes, and as Kirsten finds herself caught in the crosshairs of the prophet, we see the strange twists of fate that connect them all. A novel of art, memory, and ambition, Station Eleven tells a story about the relationships that sustain us, the ephemeral nature of fame, and the beauty of the world as we know it.

The Secret Billionaire

March 24. Billionaire Lyndon Surway takes off in his private plane and never returns.

His will leaves the entirety of his wealth—one of the largest fortunes in history—to his “dear friend Lucian Baker.” Only there is no trace of anyone by that name. And the fortune itself is nowhere to be found.

Andrew Day knows nothing of wealth and privilege, but he won a scholarship to study at the most exclusive school in the country, in the town where the mystery, decades later, remains unsolved. There he discovers friendship and danger with the aristocratic Cameron and the beautiful Olivia. But watchful eyes follow him everywhere... Until, one night, he comes across a secret that will change his life. As he begins to unravel what really happened to the Surway fortune, the question remains: who is Lucian Baker?

Reader reviews:

"When your heart is pounding and you can't turn the page fast enough you know you've discovered a book worth telling people about."

"To be classified as genuinely great fiction"

"Harry Potter-esque in how much of a page turner it was - I got my copy while traveling and I couldn't put it down (almost missed a flight!)... "

"The highest praise one can give a book is they could not put it down. Well, I went on a vacation with my girlfriend and was actively considering skipping most of our plans because I literally could not put this book down"

"Will appeal to mature readers who are hungry for well written fiction, and a younger audience that loved books such as the Harry Potters and is looking for an even more engaging plot line and cast of characters."

"The Secret Billionaire is an amazing read that is not only incredibly well written (cannot believe it's a debut novel) but also has you on the edge of your seat during the entire time."

A Curse So Dark and Lonely (The Cursebreaker Series)

by Brigid Kemmerer


A New York Times bestseller!

"Has everything you'd want in a retelling of a classic fairy tale." - Jodi Picoult, New York Times bestselling author of A Spark of Light and Small Great Things

"Absolutely spellbinding." - Stephanie Garber, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Caraval and Legendary

In a lush, contemporary fantasy retelling of Beauty and the Beast, Brigid Kemmerer gives readers another compulsively readable romance perfect for fans of Marissa Meyer.

Fall in love, break the curse.

It once seemed so easy to Prince Rhen, the heir to Emberfall. Cursed by a powerful enchantress to repeat the autumn of his eighteenth year over and over, he knew he could be saved if a girl fell for him. But that was before he learned that at the end of each autumn, he would turn into a vicious beast hell-bent on destruction. That was before he destroyed his castle, his family, and every last shred of hope.

Nothing has ever been easy for Harper. With her father long gone, her mother dying, and her brother barely holding their family together while constantly underestimating her because of her cerebral palsy, she learned to be tough enough to survive. But when she tries to save someone else on the streets of Washington, DC, she's instead somehow sucked into Rhen's cursed world.

Break the curse, save the kingdom.

A prince? A monster? A curse? Harper doesn't know where she is or what to believe. But as she spends time with Rhen in this enchanted land, she begins to understand what's at stake. And as Rhen realizes Harper is not just another girl to charm, his hope comes flooding back. But powerful forces are standing against Emberfall . . . and it will take more than a broken curse to save Harper, Rhen, and his people from utter ruin.
