'A deliciously twisted gothic fantasy you'll want to read again and
again, with characters you'll adore, prose that'll spellbind you,
romance you'll swoon over, and a mystery that'll keep you guessing
until the last stunning twist' Diana Urban, author of These Deadly
Games Myra has a gift many would kidnap, blackmail, and worse to
control: she's a portrait artist whose paintings alter people's
bodies. Guarding that secret is the only way to keep her younger
sister safe now that their parents are gone. But one frigid night,
the governor's wife discovers the truth and threatens to expose
Myra if she does not complete a special portrait that would
resurrect the governor's dead son. Once she arrives at the
legendary stone mansion, however, it becomes clear the boy's death
was no accident. A killer stalks these halls - one disturbingly
obsessed with portrait magic. Desperate to get out of the manor as
quickly as possible, Myra turns to the governor's older son for
help completing the painting before the secret she spent her life
concealing makes her the killer's next victim. 'A heady blend of
the fantastical, the murderous, and the romantic' Kirkus Reviews,

Adalyn Grace, author of All the Stars and Teeth

Nothing will get in the way of Millie Price's dream of becoming a Broadway star. Not her lovable but super introverted dad, who raised Millie alone since she was a baby or her drama club rival, Oliver, who is the very definition of Simmering Romantic Tension.
Millie needs an ally. And when an accidentally left-open browser brings Millie to her dad's embarrassingly moody LiveJournal from 2003, Millie knows just what to do - find her mum.
But how can you find a new part of your life and expect it to fit into your old one without leaving any marks? And why is it that when you go looking for the past, it somehow keeps bringing you back to what you've had all along?
Hani and Ishu couldn't be less alike - and they definitely don't like

Everyone likes Hani Khan - she's easy going and one of the most popular
girls at school. But when she comes out to her friends as bisexual,
they don't believe her, claiming she can't be bi if she's only dated
guys. Panicked, Hani blurts out that she's in a relationship... with a
girl her friends can't stand - Ishu Dey.
Ishu is the polar opposite of Hani. An academic overachiever, she hopes
that becoming head girl will set her on the right track for university.
Her only problem? Becoming head girl is a popularity contest and Ishu
is hardly popular. Pretending to date Hani is the only way she'll stand
a chance of being elected.
Despite their mutually beneficial pact, they start developing real
feelings for each other. But some people will do anything to stop two
Bengali girls from achieving happily ever after.
