Series

Bad Bloods
The Young Elites by Marie Lu meets Renegades by Marissa Meyer in this action-packed dystopian fantasy series that has readers calling it “addictive,” “masterful,” and “a story of murder, secrecy, and unlikely friendships.” Her very existence is a crime… Seventeen-year-old Serena isn't human. She’s a bad blood, and in the politically corrupt city of Vendona, bad bloods aren’t allowed to live. When Serena is aided in an escape moments before her execution, a revolution is sparked. While on the run, she’s forced to put her trust in a man she knows little about. Daniel will do anything to stop the twelve-year war that has killed so many of his own. When Serena falls into his life, he sees the opportunity to fight back and stop the eradication of all bad bloods. But there’s more to Serena than meets the eye. They share a connection to his tragic and mysterious past, and the two of them united together might just be Vendona’s only hope. United or not, a city will fight, rain will fall, and all will be threatened by star-crossed love and political corruption.
The Timely Death Trilogy
We all know the archetype. The Light is good, and the Dark is evil. But not in The Timely Death Trilogy. After an ancient war between the lights and the shades, two descendants from each clan must fight to the death for their people. As if living a double life as a human and a supernatural creature wasn’t enough, Eric Welborn—also know as Shoman—is one of these descendants. A regular seventeen-year-old during the day, a prince of shades at night, Eric isn’t sure if he feels anything . . . until he meets her. The nameless shade and Jessica appear in the small Midwest town of Hayworth at the same time, and Eric finds his life threatened in a completely different way. Jessica does too. With her mysterious, orphaned past, she isn’t confident about what kind of world she is getting herself into, but she is sure it is where she belongs . . . even though it’s more deadly than either two could’ve imagined. Fate, love, and lies await them, and the two must rely on each other if they want to survive.
