A travel writer takes a job with a shady publishing company in New
York, only to find that she must write a guide to the city - for
the undead
Because of the disaster that was her last job, Zoe is searching
for a fresh start as a travel book editor in the tourist-centric
New York City. After stumbling across a seemingly perfect position
though, Zoe is blocked at every turn because of the one thing she
can't take off her resume --- human.
Not to be put off by anything -- especially not her blood drinking
boss or death goddess coworker -- Zoe delves deep into the monster
world. But her job turns deadly when the careful balance between
human and monsters starts to crumble -- with Zoe right in the
middle.
Mystical, magical, and wildly original...If Alice Hoffman and Sara
Addison Allen had a witchy love child, she would be Paige Crutcher.
Do not miss this beautifully realized debut!--- JT Ellison, New
York Times bestselling author of Her Dark Lies on The Orphan Witch.
A deeper magic. A stronger curse. A family lost...and found.
Persephone May has been alone her entire life. Abandoned as an
infant and dragged through the foster care system, she wants
nothing more than to belong somewhere. To someone. However,
Persephone is as strange as she is lonely. Unexplainable things
happen when she's around--changes in weather, inanimate objects
taking flight--and those who seek to bring her into their family
quickly cast her out. To cope, she never gets attached, never makes
friends. And she certainly never dates. Working odd jobs and always
keeping her suitcases half-packed, Persephone is used to moving
around, leaving one town for another when curiosity over her
eccentric behavior inevitably draws unwanted attention. After an
accidental and very public display of power, Persephone knows it's
time to move on once again. It's lucky, then, when she receives an
email from the one friend she's managed to keep, inviting her to
the elusive Wile Isle. The timing couldn't be more perfect.
However, upon arrival, Persephone quickly discovers that Wile is no
ordinary island. In fact, it just might hold the very things she's
been searching for her entire life. Answers. Family. Home. And some
things she did not want. Like 100-year-old curses and an even older
family feud. With the clock running out, love might be the magic
that saves them all.
