Syd has what she's always wanted. Thanks to her demon's sacrifice,
she is finally normal. Why then does she want her magic back so
badly? It really sucks to find out Brad was only into her because
of her power. And even Quaid is keeping his distance. Her loss
couldn't have come at a worse time. A storm is brewing, one that
could devour the entire world. Feeling more left out than ever,
she's no longer a part of the fight to save her family. Syd refuses
to accept she will never be a witch again, doing everything she can
to track down the Chosen of the Light and rescue her demon. If only
the ordinary life she's been building didn't interfere. Time is
running out. The Wild Hunt is coming and nothing can stop it.
Syd has only ever wanted to be normal. And now that the rift
between her and her demon is growing wider, that future is finally
a real possibility. But Syd is having second thoughts, especially
when a vampire kidnaps her little sister, Meira. And her normal
life at school is falling apart around her, thanks to the new kid,
Benjamin, who seems to be an expert at turning her new friends
against her. Syd finally understands the value of what she has, but
may be too late. The demon inside her has her own agenda and will
no longer be ignored.

***Winner 2012 PEI Book Awards for Fiction*** Sixteen-year-old Reid
thinks life is back to normal. His sister Lucy pulls herself
together and cuts him free from a year of foster care. She promises
to take care of him, that her new boss and her new life are what
they both needed to start again. Until Reid is taken in the middle
of the night, dumped in a wild stretch of forest far from home with
no idea why he is there. Lost and afraid, he learns to run from the
hunters who prowl the darkness, their only pleasure chasing down
kids like him. And killing them.
New York looms, the task finally at hand. Betrayal after betrayal,
loss after loss have taken their toll on Trio, but she's made it at
last. And yet, nothing could prepare her and her sister Duet for
what and who comes next-for the darkest deception of all. The
sister clones must accept the ultimate sacrifice, risking
everything and everyone they love for a dying humanity before the
very person they've sought can remake the world in her image.
Trio and her friends have escaped the remains of Los Angeles and
the horrible Crawlers intent on her capture, finally on their way
to New York. But the train they ride offers more threats than
comfort, both from the uncertain track stretching out before them
to the infighting and open dislike from train boss Chime and her
crew. Trio has no choice, her heart and soul pushing her across the
country, toward a task she can't remember and a damaged clone who
will call her sister.
Clone Three wakes in a decaying city she is sure doesn't match the
one she came from. If only she could remember. She has a purpose at
least--she must find her fellow clones, and the statue whose image
is embedded in her mind. But she is lost, surrounded by a dead and
crumbling metropolis, fought over by those who have been altered by
the illness that has ravaged humankind, turning survivors into
strange and terrible new forms. She must risk everything, including
the safety of those who try to help her, in order to fulfill her
task. But is she this crumbling world's salvation... or the source
of its downfall?
A tragic accident strips sixteen-year-old Emily Underman of her
three best friends. Depression consumes her as life becomes the
endless gray place of feeling nothing. Until her little brother
goes missing, jerking her out of her emotional coma. That's when
her friends appear. Haunting her, driving her to madness. Trying to
tell her something. Making her question the motives of the lead
detective on her brother's case. Doubt the nice man next door. And
making it hard for her to resist the only person who understands
her-the detective's son, Todd. Guilt forces her to trust the
spirits of her ghostly friends who lead her closer and closer to
the kidnapper-and redemption.
Things can't possibly be any worse for Auburdeen Hayle. What began
as a quiet trip for her own protection has turned into a nightmare
of capture and escape. Taken by the Brotherhood of Atum and
infected with living metal, Burdie is to be used as a weapon to
start a war between magic users and the common man. Meanwhile, she
battles to combine her witchcraft with the sorcery that has been
woken inside her, both of which fight for control. If she can't
bring balance to her magic, she could very well be lost forever.
Auburdeen Hayle is supposed to be in London for her own protection.
But since she chose to help and befriend Jack Bishop, everything
she knows and understands has fallen to pieces around her. Worse,
her friend is lost and in the hands of those who want to use him as
a weapon, being slowly devoured by the living metal that infects
him. Hunted by the coven meant to protect her and the constabulary
being controlled by the very man who holds Jack captive, Burdie is
forced to ally herself with those to whom truth and honesty are a
convenience.

Reid is tired of running, tired of hiding. It's time to take the
fight to the enemy. No more picking the kids off one by one,
wearing them down with terror and starvation. He is ready to act
and so are his friends. But something is changing inside Reid, an
effect of the strange dust the hunters dissolve into when they die,
and he worries he is turning into one of the very creatures he
despises.

Reid isn't sure if he's grateful to be alive. He's managed to save
a small group of kids from the hunters, but only by trapping them
all underground without food or water or a way out. If starvation
doesn't kill them, thirst will. Still, they are out of the hunter's
reach and that's something. Reid refuses to stop trying, even when
the kids find out they aren't alone in the mine after all.
Banished to Victorian London "Auburdeen Perneila Hayle," Sassafras
hissed, the amber glow from his cat eyes growing until the front of
the wicker cage shone with it, "you will do whatever you can to
behave yourself, to not embarrass me or your mother and to
absolutely under every circumstance maintain a firm hand on your
horrid temper." My anger simmered. Yes, I had a temper. And yes, it
had taken me into situations in the past that perhaps I shouldn't
have been part of, situations that usually devolved into fistfights
and incoherent yelling at the offender. He should be grateful I
always kept control of myself enough my magic never came into play.
Except that one time. But it wasn't my fault. Not really. And the
offender recovered. Eventually. Auburdeen Hayle is the
sixteen-year-old daughter of the next leader of her coven. When the
transition of power becomes tense, Burdie is sent from her home in
America to stay with old friends in London to keep her safe. But a
handsome young man chooses to hide from the police in her hansom,
drawing Burdie into an underground world of magic that challenges
even her sense of adventure and puts her at odds with the very
people who are meant to protect her.
