Into every generation, a slayer is born. One girl in all the world . .
. sort of.
Frankie Rosenberg is the world's first slayer-witch, but she doesn't
have that slay-life balance figured out just yet. She's still reeling
from the deadly explosion at the anual slayer retreat--and new evidence
that some slayers may have survived. And while she's defeated her first
Big Bad, Frankie soon realizes it was just a warm-up act. Bigger,
badder forces of evil are just getting started.
The Hellmouth has been reawakened and is calling old friends home.
Portals are opening between Sunnydale and other dimensions. And the
Scooby Gang has too many demons to contend with--real, metaphorical,
and sometimes absurdly hot.
Then an oracle warns of a new foe on its way: the Darkness. Could this
be what attacked the slayers? And is it coming for Frankie?
Judy I. Lin, #1 New York Times bestselling author of A Magic Steeped in
Poison, ventures into horror with Rick Riordan Presents in this a
sinister tale of the supernatural, sisterhood, and the shadows that
rule our darkest desires. Perfect for fans of Ryan La Sala and Trang
Thanh Tran.
Ruby Chen has always played the part of the dutiful eldest daughter:
excelling in school; excelling in piano lessons; excelling at keeping
her younger sister, Tina, focused on extracurriculars meant to impress
college admissions officers.
But when a ghost from the spirit world attacks Ruby in the middle of
Vancouver’s Chinatown neighborhood, her life is plunged into a darkness
that no amount of duty can free her from. Overnight, Ruby’s sister
seems to change. There are strange noises coming from her bedroom at
all hours; and the once sweet, funny Tina has been replaced by
something dark and unnatural.
As Ruby races to save her sister from demonic possession, she is thrown
into an ancient battle over the gateway to the underworld. On one side,
a sinister traveling temple known for making dark wishes come true has
returned to Chinatown after many years—intent on breaking down the
gateway and unleashing the wickedness within. On the other side, the
guardians determined to stop this encroaching evil
And in order to survive, Ruby must not only face the horror taking over
her community, but must also confront the horror within herself.
Chinese and Taiwanese mythology get the Junji Ito treatment in this
bone-chilling, propulsive story that takes the horrors of the Asian
diaspora experience to a whole new level.
The tenth book in the New York Times bestselling Villains series takes a dive into the Underworld, exploring how Hades turned from god to villain.
The myth has been told for centuries: Brothers Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades waged a years-long war against their father Cronus and his tyrannical Titans. Upon their mighty victory, Zeus split the world into three. For himself, he claimed the Sky and what fell below it. To his brother Poseidon, he assigned dominion over the Sea. And his oldest brother, Hades, would rule the Underworld.
While Hades tries to make the best of a lonely situation, eternity proves a long time to be forced live in a role—a domain—he never wanted. And the part of the story no one tells is that when your family treats you like a villain, it is far too easy to become one.
Years of being ignored and shamed by his family reach a fiery head, when three perfectly alive witches find their way into the land of the dead. Bored and lonely, Hades befriends these mysterious Odd Sisters and makes a bargain that will change the course of fate. But when you’re a god, making a deal has the potential to rewrite more stories than just your own . . .

In this fantastical thriller, five young teens tapped as models for theme park 'guides' find themselves pitted against Disney villains and witches that threaten both the future of Walt Disney World and the stability of the world outside its walls. Using a cutting-edge technology called DHI - which stands for both Disney Host Interactive and Daylight Hologram Imaging - Finn Whitman, an Orlando teen, and four other kids are transformed into hologram projections that guide guests through the park. The new technology turns out, however, to have unexpected effects that are both thrilling and scary. Soon Finn finds himself transported in his DHI form into the Magic Kingdom at night. Is it real? Is he dreaming? Finn's confusion only increases when he encounters Wayne, an elderly Imagineer who tells him that the park is in grave danger. Led by the scheming witch, Maleficent, a mysterious group of characters called the Overtakers is plotting to destroy Disney's beloved realm, and maybe more. This gripping high-tech tale will thrill every kid who has ever dreamed of sneaking into Walt Disney World after hours and wondered what happens at night, when the park is closed.
