When Harley Axelson finds herself falling into another dimension through her closet door mirror-into a dimension of people with wings, monsters of ice and blue flame, and the cheery "alter ego" Afton-everything she knows about the world is thrown out the window. Inter-dimensional travel is real. There are infinite parallel universes with Harleys under different names, with friends and family with personalities eerily similar and drastically different. And mirrors are the portals, only open to those who contain the ability to fall through them: Transversals. So reveals Harley's chance to escape from her mediocre-at-best life with newly acquired friends on the other side of her mirror. But the dangers of traveling are costly and the stakes run higher the more she does, the more she learns about her past, herself, and the universe around her. Not to mention flaming ice monsters are following her through dimensions, a technologically advanced one nearby is turning corrupt, and her safety in the two dimensions she holds dear are making Harley question her true place among them.

Killing the gray-eyed, dark haired boy across the street in her minuscule town was closure to Lacey Strauss that evening, even when she'd never killed anything in her life, even when her past was just a broken record of leaving, leaving, and left, even when the whole world seemed dead set on working against her. And it would've been achieved if her victim hadn't been Asher Malloy: an avid smoker and commissioned killer at seventeen, working for the regional drug lord alongside his amiable alcoholic of an older brother, Alex. Because when Asher turns the situation around and takes Lacey captive for five months, closure's a long time coming -- if she doesn't die first. SMOLDER tells of an intense and unlikely relationship between Lacey Strauss, an unstable teenager with violence in her blood, and Asher Malloy, a smoking, knife-throwing, incredibly cold and temperamental killer. But as tensions swell and fade between the two, anywhere from lethal hatred to headstrong intimacy, suddenly Asher finds himself valuing the very girl who tried to kill him while Lacey starts realizing the value of human life the more she must take it.

[note: this is the sequel to Smolder.] Lacey Strauss has spent the last four months in forests and alleyways, assisting in murder and finding the path to closure over her long-lost friend Bridget - and simply trying to survive with a seventeen-year-old assassin named Asher and his older drunkard of a brother, Alex. But Lacey has realized that she's less of a captive and more of an...acquaintance, maybe? There's never any certainty in the relationship between Asher and Lacey, bitter enemies one moment and infatuation the next. There's never a definite line on where professionalism stops in Asher's occupation, where Lacey's stability begins and ends. Every choice, every decision, every line she draws could be the difference between life or death. And not just her own anymore.

It's a simple concept: kill someone ages 14 to 20, gain their best trait. Anyone before, you're pretty messed up. Anyone after and you're a simple murderer on Rushwood Isles, an island off the coast of South Carolina with a dark secret and a violent nature. April Swanson is the new girl at Rushwood: a quiet, reserved cake decorator that works at the local bakery on weekends. After a tragedy snaps April, she embarks on a mission in for vengeance, closure, and explanation by fighting, in hopes of bringing justice to a wrongful murder. Infamous Levi Wolfe, named the "hero of the North" had been around the block already. With an incredibly fighting ability and a dark past, he's been the protector of the island for more than a year now. Murders and crime has never been so low since he's been kicking ass. That is, until the new girl interferes with his regimen and gives every ounce of strength they have a run for its money. Told in a dual perspective, a riveting story of fierce fights, witty comebacks, and romantic conflict is laid over a disturbing, simple premise: kill someone ages 14 to 20, and gain their best trait. It's simple, right?
