"And they lived happily ever after." In fairy tales, that's always how things end. The prince and princess ride away on his white horse and from then on, all's right with the world. But what if it wasn't? What if the prince's life didn't suit the princess? What if she felt stifled by life inside the castle walls? Could she tell him? And if she loved him - really loved him - how could she ask him to give up his kingdom?

Twelve-year-old Josh wants only two things in life: to guide his friends, both old and new, across the zombie-infested Texas countryside to the airlift in San Angelo, Texas using his knowledge of zombie lore, and to be reunited with his dad and baby brother at the FEMA camp. If only he didn’t have to deal with one of the most deadly threats of any zombie apocalypse: a teenage boy determined to woo Josh’s crush, Corina, and take over the small band of kids.

Staying away from my lakeside hometown was the plan, but Mom died suddenly. Dad said she suffered a stroke after she dug up one of the ancient Native American graves in our backyard. Creepy, I know. Creepier still, there was no corpse inside the old coffin, only fresh rose petals. As we made preparations for her burial, unnervingly odd and beautiful newcomers poured into my small town. A coroner with emerald eyes and black hair, much too young for the job. An arrogant blond socialite, who lived to get under my skin. And a tattooed Native man, who wasn’t supposed to be alive.

I wasn’t the sort of girl who believed in fairytales, let alone tales about faeries. But that changed the day Faeries came to my small town and Hunters rose from their graves. On that fateful day, I received a book, a peculiar collection of myths and legends. Turns out it was so much more than stories. And just as I was on the verge of unlocking its secrets, it was stolen from me by someone I called a friend. Now, I don’t know who to turn to, who to trust. All I know is that there are two sides, and I am straddling the great divide because I am both Faerie and Hunter.

The Academy has been taken over by a mass murderer and no one knows but me. Last year, I fought Regent Nyquist and the forces that sought to destroy everything we hold dear...and lost. This year, I’ve agreed to be a spy, a double agent who aligns herself with the very person who killed people I care about and banished others. And it sucks worse than the domestic grout cleaning spells we’re now forced to learn.

In the heart of this captivating adventure, we meet Zylo Moon, a character whose struggles mirror the anxiety and stress familiar to many. Zylo escapes into the enchanting world of Serenity, a place where robots exude warmth, and animals speak with human eloquence. This refuge of wonder and peace is suddenly threatened by the ominous Mr. Puppeteer, a villain bent on shattering the delicate balance between Zylo's fantasy and reality. Will Zylo's courage be enough to overcome this menacing force?

Finn is devastated. Struggling to reconcile with his mother at his father’s funeral in Southern California, Emmie and the gang do their best to support him. But after his father’s ghost warns them of a legendary curse, the truth is undeniable and heartbreaking: his death was anything but natural. Still reeling from his brother’s suicide two years earlier, Finn seeks answers at his Godfather’s historic Raven House Vineyard and home to his childhood playground—a decaying Spanish mission called “the ruins.”

The lies will come crumbling down...and the bodies will start piling up. Once upon a time, I saved Marcus Constantine’s life. Then he, Theo, and Ryland saved mine. But that’s not enough anymore. It’s not enough to just survive. I want a future with these men. I want peace and happiness. And the only way to find it is through war. We’re done playing defense. This time, the game won’t stop until the blood of our enemies runs as red as the roses on my tattoo. Because it’s a different game now, and we make the rules.

After I saved his life and kingdom, Kalyll let me go, choosing duty over the passion that burned between us. Though his death was written in the stars, I found a dark, impossible way to pull him back, to anchor his soul to the world of the living. Still, that wasn't enough to win his heart. Now, the force that lives within him gives way to his darker nature, and for a second time, I'm kidnapped and made prisoner—this time in a high tower in the Seelie capital of Elyndell. With good and evil fighting within him, both his kingdom and heart stand at risk.

The final semester at the Supernatural Academy should be about enjoying my last months of college. Instead, someone has poisoned the fae realm, killing tens of thousands and throwing those who survived to our doorstep. And, worse, no one knows how or why. So, instead of late-night study sessions and crazy parties, my friends and I must track down the person responsible for these atrocities.

The Bonheim triplets live seemingly ordinary lives, hiding their magic from their neighbors in the small, mountain town of Doyle, California. But then a body is found in flighty, big sister Jayce’s coffee shop. Confronted by a sheriff with a grudge, a sister in denial, and a sexy lawyer with an agenda of his own, no-nonsense Karin must prove her sister innocent.

With every ounce of strength, I fight to free myself from this suffocating sleep while Kalyll, consumed by a fierce determination, searches tirelessly through the realm. His sole mission: to exact revenge upon those responsible for bringing me to the edge of death. No one shall escape his wrath, for everyone in his path will suffer the consequences. Yet, the fate of his kingdom teeters precariously as his treacherous brother, Cardian, schemes to plunge the realm into all-out war.

I risked everything to keep my best friend alive and now…I’ve not only lost my fated mate, but I’ve willingly become a prisoner. Shrouded in darkness and isolated from the world, I have all the time to consider my next moves. Yet, there are only two things I can focus on… Getting back to Cillian and making sure that at some point soon, Knox ceases to exist. Whether that’s by my hand or someone’s else’s, I don’t care. It just needs to be done.

Thirty years ago, the world as we know it was lost. Now humans live like rats, desperate for food and safety, the wall towering before us as a mocking reminder of what happened… A wall I find myself running to for refuge. I've spent my whole life uncovering the truth, telling the world the reality behind the stories that they watch. I'm the one on their screens, the adrenaline junkie, the mayor's perfect daughter. Until one day, I pick up the wrong story. With no other choice, I run and hide in the one place I will be safe from those hunting me—the wall.

In the zombie apocalypse, no one is safe. Not even children. That’s what twelve-year-old Josh and his friends in the Zombie Hunters Club discovered when the undead invaded their school in The Living Dead Boy. Now, Josh and the remaining Zombie Hunters are stuck on a city bus traveling across zombie-infested Texas. With fires burning on the horizon, mass evacuations underway, zombies roaming the countryside, and in-fighting among the adults on the bus creating tension, Josh has never felt so helpless. Despite his father’s insistence that the adults can handle the situation, Josh knows far too well from watching zombie movies that one person can put everyone else at risk.

When my father, the King of Neverra, forced my hand into the Cauldron to cement a political alliance with the Farrows, I thought my night couldn’t get any worse. But lo and behold, it did. On top of being engaged to Remo Farrow, the rudest fae in my kingdom, I now have to repay a bargain I struck to get out of trouble. A bargain that sends me hurtling into a world of trouble. A world I didn’t even know existed, unwelcoming and wicked, and forever changing; a world where my powers—all of them—fail me.

I might technically be a fae princess, but my story is no fairytale. Being told that I'm not exactly human wasn't easy to accept. Neither was spending the last year training for what was to come on my 19th birthday, but I did it anyway. Feeling certain I'm ready for my new life, I soon realize nothing could have prepared me for the reality of it. Turns out I'm the first descendant in decades to be born from two royal fae lines, but being special isn't always a good thing. All that training I did? Not so helpful when I find out a dark fae is looking to settle an old score.

My three messengers took a greater risk than I realized when they agreed to help me save my village. Now, they must face the consequences, and so must I. If Kaius and Zelus go to war, it will devastate humanity...and that's not the only danger that lurks on the horizon. But despite the threat to our existence, the bond between me and my soulkeepers continues to deepen into something far beyond what I ever expected. I promised myself I wouldn't fall in love with these three beautiful, mysterious men. I'm beginning to think it's too late for that.

My people are dying. Our god has abandoned us, leaving us starving and weak. In a desperate attempt to save those I love, I offer up the ultimate sacrifice to our capricious deity. Myself. He accepts my offering, and I forfeit my life. But when I arrive in the afterworld, a rival god who despises me binds my soul to three beautiful, terrifying men - powerful beings he calls his messengers. Callum, Echo, and Paris.

When I met Thayer Holmes, I had no idea how much he would single-handedly change my life. Our journey hasn't been an easy one, but it has been ours. We've fought through the impossible and come out stronger because of it. But happily-ever-after isn't a destination. It's a never-ending road trip with bumps along the way. Some bumps are bigger than others, but none of it matters as long as we have each other, right?
