"A really strong woman accepts the war she went through and is ennobled by her scars." ~Carly Simon The year is 2167. Space travel is commonplace, and human colonies exist across three close solar systems called the Triquetra. And a terrible war wages on the planet Shiuq, which has produced more deaths than any war the galaxy has witnessed in centuries. Syarrhe is a member of the Cerridwen military, Cerridwen being the only non-Earth planet dominated by humans. She's offered a position as an officer if she can help stem the war on Shiuq, not knowing that this will lead her to uncover the truth behind her parents' death, the existence of her monk sister, and a forgotten tome that risks all order the Triquetra knows. As the stakes increase for each mission she goes on and as her own knowledge of order and the galaxy is tested, Syarrhe finds herself in something much bigger than a simple land war, much more complicated than the usual past of orphaned siblings- and it seems that, even in space, fate has a hand in everything... ~Contains mild language, sexual references, and mild violence.

Lynn had been a vampire for two months when Farron showed up. Those two months had been spent agonizing in a cave trying not to kill anyone. Lynn had never expected to be hurled into a world of vampires, werewolves, witches, demons, Fae, and so on, but suddenly there's a whole other side of life than she ever expected. Farron, her first "friend" (if friend can mean someone who is only ever hostile), has a brother- a brother possessed by a demon- and needs Lynn's help to save him. Joined by an unfairly hot female werewolf named Shea and a judgmental witch named Dakota, the group sets out to find Gilder, the Black Witch of Montana, in hopes of saving Farron's brother from an ancient demon; but what will happen to Lynn? Will she be able to fit in with the odd group? Will she have to run away again? And what happens when she suddenly develops feelings for Farron? In a novel with an awkward new vampire, a grumpy and blunt werewolf, a surprisingly sweet (if a little superficial) werewolf girl, a hipster witch, and a sad boy with pretty eyes and a demon trying to devour his soul, you'll find humor, romance, adventure, and probably far too much darkness and angst. But if you're into that sort of thing, you might actually like this.

Almost as soon as Annie Snow returns to her mother's hometown to finish her senior year, strange things begin happening. A prophecy awakens that's been waiting to be discovered for fifty years; when Annie finds a box of her grandmother's letters, it's only even more confusing than it already was. With mysterious words like Ember and Mother haunting the letters and strange dreams beginning to haunt her, Annie has an even harder time gathering her thoughts- and things are growing more dangerous by the day. She and two strangers are forced to cooperate to save the world from an ancient evil, and they only have a month to do it- or else everything will be over.

In a world where your soul lives outside your body, Tim is at even more of a disadvantage than most. Most people have an average soul, called a dominion: a representation of your personality. Then there are ashuras: souls corrupted one way or another that try to kill dominions. And then there are amialles: souls that manifest as animals, able to fuse back with their owner and turn them into the animal's shape. Tim is among the latter group; however, his soul manifests as a rabbit, making him all but useless compared to the wolves, tigers, and bears that roam among him. However, when mysterious cult symbols begin appearing in the city of Brazwell, Tim discovers he may be more useful than he thought. With the help of an androgynous vagabond, two bright-haired twins, and a mysterious, wicked redhead, Tim soon begins to see that his small size may be to his advantage- or may end up killing him.

"The last thing I expected was a smartass grim reaper for a close friend, a hot girlfriend, and to be leading a group of freak-souls against the king of the dead." Alys Manensdottir isn't having the best high school experience, to say the least. When she finally rejoins school after constant moving and home-schooling, she's initially excited: new friends, a cute girl, a grim reaper at the foot of her bed- oh wait, that last part wasn't so expected. What follows is a tale of discovering her real sarcasm- er, real self- in more senses than one. Her own soul isn't what she thought it was, and that, apparently, has led to her being stalked her whole life by a grim reaper trying to kill her, who later turns out to be a reliable friend. As intimidating gods become tedious nuisances and people around her are being killed off, she struggles between stress and sarcasm, dating and disaster, high school and hell- literally. And just when she thinks she's got it all figured out, one last disaster threatens to change everything... *Do not own cover image. Couldn't find original artist.
