Garnet drags her feet through her muddled life: strained family, fleeting friendships, unfulfilling job, and distractions that only leave way for unhappiness to radiate from every inch of her skin when she is finally left alone. That is, until she finds herself reluctantly pulled into a war of old, the secrets of gods, and the truth on how her fate is intertwined into this tale. All is never as shallow as it seems; the reflection in the mirror is always deeper than it appears.

“Please promise me you will be careful. That’s all I ask of you; all I ask is for you to not do anything incredibly stupid. Pirates are dangerous. I would know. I am one.” he whispered, his fingertips grazing along my cheek bones and then dropping to my shoulders to clutch them as if his life depended on it. I took in his expression, looked into the depths of his gray eyes that matched the shade of a storming sea. “So does that mean that I should be careful around you too Mr. Dangerous Pirate?” I asked with a joking lilt in my voice. His eyes darkened at my light words and suddenly his hands came up to clutch my face forcing me to look strictly at him. The right corner of his upper lip curled into a menacing half snarl. “It means you should definitely be careful around me. I’m being serious and I do not appreciate your attempt at humor. Wherever you go danger will follow and if you do not take my warning to heart you will do something reckless and end up being murdered. If you were to get hurt, I- I honestly do not know what I would do. Probably something that would get me killed as well.” The harsh words melted into something soft, something caring and tender and filled with sincerity. “Don’t worry so much. I won’t get hurt.” I patted his cheek in assurance and before I could move he curled his fingers around mine and gave me a burning stare so intense that I thought I might go up in flames from the heat of it. “You don’t understand. Pirates, they like shiny things. And you Cora, you are like glittering gold.”

"Being reunited with your childhood best friend after eight years apart? Sounds like a heart-warming story. Finding out that said best friend is now a complete jerk who's determined to make your life hell? Not so much." Georgie and Connor were once inseparable. Best friends from birth, they did everything together - well, that was until Connor's dad got a once-in-a-lifetime job opportunity and the family was forced to relocate to New York. At age sixteen, Georgie's life is totally different - her main goal being to keep her head down and escape the brutalities of high school with as little emotional scarring as possible. Balancing school, work and her dwindling social life is enough of a challenge, but it's about to get a bit more complicated when her conceited ex-best friend gets thrown into the mix. Maybe friendship should come with an instruction booklet.

A horrific retelling of the Nutcracker story. On Christmas Eve in 1905, a household in London finds itself under a centuries-old curse when a strange new toy is brought into the house. A young nanny named Anne is immersed in the horrific world of her unstable charge, Olivia, when a bite from a mouse makes her the size of a doll, and she must brave a world of mangled and demented toys that have come to life, each having his own vendetta - the most unrelenting of which is the mysterious and handsomely-carved nutcracker, who becomes her only sane ally. It is war in the lower levels of the house between the rodents and the toys, yet Anne's only concern is getting Olivia and herself back to the way they once were - before it is too late for either of them.
