Jackie does not like surprises. Chaos is the enemy! The best way to get her successful, busy parents to notice her is to be perfect. The perfect look, the perfect grades--the perfect daughter. And then... Surprise #1: Jackie's family dies in a freak car accident. Surprise #2: Jackie has to move cross-country to live with the Walters-her new guardians. Surprise #3: The Walters have twelve sons. (Well, eleven, but Parker acts like a boy anyway) Now Jackie must trade in her Type A personality and New York City apartment for a Colorado ranch and all the wild Walter boys who come with it. Jackie is surrounded by the enemy--loud, dirty, annoying boys who have no concept of personal space. Okay, several of the oldest guys are flat-out gorgeous. But still annoying. She's not stuck-up or boring--no matter what they say. But proving it is another matter. How can she fit in and move on when she needs to keep her parents' memory alive by living up to the promise of perfect?

The Crown Prince of the Fire Fae is looking for a bride, and to find one, he'll invite the most eligible ladies to compete for his hand. Maren, a humble lady's maid, did not consider herself one of these women--not until she was forced to accept the invitation delivered to her by a cruel twist of fate. But perhaps it isn't all bad; Her prize should she win is a palace, a seat among the most powerful beings on Earth, and riches beyond her wildest dreams. It's the perfect escape for anyone--besides her, who has no interest in becoming domesticated by yet another being--human or immortal. Swept away to the Court of Embers, Maren finds herself enchanted by the creatures she was taught to fear. However, the dangerous legends about the winged people of the Neverin Forest are written for a reason, and soon enough, Maren discovers the golden palace of Adara is not what it seems. Neither is its beloved Prince. Entangled in a web of secrets, Maren must decide what she wishes to fight for; her freedom, her life, or what her heart burns for most. *BTS FAERIE AU **English **All of BTS included © sparklingjin 2019

It doesn't help that her boyfriend Luc thinks it's all in her head, a product of her past trauma and strained nerves. He's psychic after all; wouldn't he know? But as more and more apparitions begin to appear, Rachel begins to doubt Luc's word. These ghostly girls seem to want something from her. With no one on her side, Rachel is forced to go hunting for her own answers. Only, she might not like what she finds... As unsettling and twisted as the first book, The Psychic Within will drag you in and not let you go.
