Seventeen year-old Eliza Taylor's latest run-in with New York City Police lands her on a bus with a one way ticket to the small town of Blackwater. Unimpressed with being an indentured servant for her cranky and ridiculously ancient aunt, Eliza soon finds hope when she meets Dante, another of her aunt's employees, as well as Chase, the cute boy-next-door who works at his dad's hardware store. Unfortunately, Eliza's panache for getting into trouble rears its ugly head when she discovers her aunt's shop sells more than just postcards from 1988. Her aunt's "private showroom" houses each of the seven deadly sins: Pride, Envy, Wrath, Avarice, Lust, Gluttony, and Sloth. But stopping her evil aunt from damning the souls of unsuspecting teens has a price - and that price might very well be Eliza's eternal soul. Can Eliza survive her evil aunt, outwit the dark master she serves, and keep a few souls out of Hell, including her own? She's not so sure, but seeing as how she likes her soul in the upright and firmly out-of-hell position, she's gonna give it her best shot. Hopefully her best won't end up killing her and ruining her afterlife - God knows her normal life is hard enough! **Copyrighted Material: Bad Company Copyright © Wendy Nelson 2012 All Rights Reserved.

"Bri! Come on, princess! You don't want to let them do this, do you?" Desperation and fear masked his words as he struggled against the large men's grasps. The audible emotion caused his pleas to simply turn into the surender of a broken man. As she averted her saving gaze, his heart fell and shattered on the floor. For the brief second their eyes caught each other's, he saw who she now was. She wasn't the girl with the world at her feet. She wasn't a whirlwind of optimism who found positivity in anyone. She wasn't the star's lullaby. She was empty. "I'm sorry, Leo." Barely a whisper left her angelic lips as she turned away; her long cloak whipping around behind her and concealing her from view as she walked away. Utterly transfixed by the enigma across the railway, Leo can't stop himself watching the mysterious girl. She looks lost, she looks curious and she looks beautiful. Undeniably, she's on edge about something, but what is it? Will she let Leo help her? Is she someone Leo should be helping?

It was raining hard when Matthew ran along to a waiting shed just across the corner. But before he could go there, a taxi stopped by in front of him. Thank God for his lucky stars! Without even bothering to notice that there was also a woman who was about to get in, he went inside anyway.

For 12 years straight, Artemis Zhang lived in the Orphanage of Lost and Abandoned after she was dumped there without a clue from her parents and who they were actually. Everyone disliked her or just saw her as a scary witch. Her eyes that were oddly green and sometimes her pupils looked like slits similar to a lizard made it hard for everyone to make eye contact with her. People who made fun of her get thrown across the room often, along with flying chairs and books. The only people she could go to were Ben (short for Benjamin) and Heather who have become her best friends through her life. It all starts when a new student named Mason Sage, a boy with a star in his eyes walks into Artemis's class. From there, monsters start appearing in their school, threatening the people around her and Ben finally admits something crazy about another world...can it get any crazier than her life already is?
