Age range 13 to 18 A brand new contemporary fantasy world from the
New York Times bestselling author of the Witchlands series, Susan
Dennard. Hemlock Falls isn't like other towns. It's not on a map,
cell phones don't work there, and you might find a ghost-deer
grazing at midnight. It's also inhabited by the Luminaries, an
ancient order charged with guarding the nearby forest. Each night,
when nightmares rise, only the Luminaries stand between humanity
and these monsters bent on devastation - one clan for each night of
the week. Fourteen orders around the globe. Winnie (of the
Wednesday clan) desperately wants to reclaim her family's standing
within the Luminaries. In the four years since her dad was caught
as a witch, her family has lived as outcasts. Winnie's solution?
Pass the hunter trials. Then her family will be welcomed in again.
During the first trial, however, Winnie is severely outmatched by
the forest's nightmares. So when a new, unknown monster slaughters
a banshee and everyone assumes Winnie did the slaughtering, she
doesn't correct them. Realising she will never survive the final
two trials, Winnie seeks help from her gorgeous exfriend, Jay
Friday, who is no longer a baby-faced boy but the best hunter in
Hemlock Falls. As Winnie's lies start to pile up around her and
bodies start to pile up from the new nightmare, she must protect
Hemlock Falls, protect her family's new status, and protect her
heart from a former friend with brutal secrets of his own.

Willow Moss, the youngest and least powerful sister in a family of witches, recently saved the world. The problem is, nobody can remember it – and, to make matters worse, her magical ability seems broken. Instead of finding lost things, objects keep disappearing against her will … which is especially troubling now that her friend Sometimes needs her help!
Sometimes has discovered how to see ten minutes into the future. Unfortunately that’s only enough time to find out that his kidnappers are on their way! His only hope is to write an urgent letter to Willow, asking if she wouldn’t mind trying to find him.
As Willow and her friends piece together what has happened to Sometimes, their adventure takes them from an enchanted tower to the magical forest of Wisperia and into dangerous new realms… Can Willow save Sometimes when her own powers are out of control?
