When a teenage girl named Aster is instructed by the sky god to join her best friend on a deadly quest, it's a far stretch from normal. As she and her friend, now accompanied by a mysterious thief, journey to reawaken the god of the ocean, Aster learns that the god is already awake- and that he, along with the others, have been watching her since childhood. Swept under the wing of the strange gods of her world, Aster is delivered her apparent destiny: to become a god and rule her own planet. However, before her powers can properly develop, her two friends accidentally awaken an ancient monster bent on destroying the world. Caught between friends, her planet, and her fate, Aster must decide what she wants- godhood or death. Neither is alluring, but whatever her choice, the galaxy is waiting. Sci-fi/fantasy/paranormal adventure mix. Has a very diverse cast. Nice! Also, not as dramatic as it sounds. There is comedy.

Parker Elway is having dreams. Strange dreams; waking dreams; dreams in which she opens her eyes in the darkness to find herself paralyzed and surrounded by shadows from her deepest nightmares. The doctors call it sleep paralysis. But is it really so simple? As the waking terrors worsen and strange people begin to appear in town, Parker sets out to uncover the truth. And when she digs up a trove of hidden secrets and a dark past that everyone seems all too eager to forget, she begins to wonder: is her terrifying dream world merely the result of a sleep disorder? Or is it reality? [National Silver Medal Winner in the 2014 Scholastic Art and Writing Awards]

Highest Ranks: |Mystery/Thriller #1| |Action #3| I was trained my whole life to disarm a grown man using nothing but a credit card, nail files, and a sock if I'm lucky. Becoming a cheerleader sounded laughable compared to everything I've done. But I soon learn that balancing spirit weeks, cute boys, and curling wands along with nuclear weapons, evil psychopaths, and rogue agents is a lot more work than I thought. I mean would you suspect a varsity cheerleader to be a spy working for the CIA? Or Interpol? The FBI maybe? Of course not which is why it works. Never judge a book or a girl by her cover. ••BOOK 1 IN THE JUST UNDERCOVER TRILOGY•• *cover by @THEICEWOLVES
