Since the day she was born, she has stayed hidden behind her mother's wards in the mountains of Colorado and forbidden to explore the outside world. That's because she's different, her mother tells her, but Ivy doesn't see it. She's just a normal curious girl who happens to know a bit of magic, no big deal. Except that it is a big deal, and the one time she ignores her mother's warnings and dares to leave the protection of the wards, she comes to regret it. Xavier has spent the last 3 years stalking the mountains of Colorado with his father and hunting for those who broke the sacred law. He misses his home of Brithari and loathes the stench of humans, so when they catch the scent of their prey, he's eager to do his duty. But what he finds is something that nobody has prepared him for. It's impossible. And yet it's happening. And that is only the beginning, for a war is coming, a war in which the abomination he found - the abomination, and yet so much more - will play the key role.

Rule #1: Keep the house clean. Rule #7: Call me Master Jamie. Rule #11: We're not friends. Rule #101: No falling in love; I promise you, it's one-sided. Joe's entire life crumbled when his successful husband blatantly asked for a divorce and admitted that he no longer had any feelings for him. He fell into a crippling depression, losing his workplace, becoming an alcoholic and finding himself unable to afford a place to stay. His disappointed grandmother left him in the streets, and he was left homeless where he slept in alleyways, drunk. Until a new bartender named Jamie started working in at local bar Joe usually visited, and Joe was shocked when he asked, "How about you move-in with?" Not only does he get paid, but he basically lives there for free. Jamie offers him all his clothes, and free time to do whatever he wants. Under one condition, not only does Joe have to work as his housemaid, but he MUST follow ALL THE RULES. And I mean all of them. Even Rule #101: No falling in love. Well, shouldn't be that hard, right? At least that's what Joe thought.

Adriana Perry, a sixteen-year-old student, copes with the grief of suddenly losing her best friend by falling in deeper with two equally troubled boys. -- Sixteen-year-old Adriana Perry is, by all accounts, a normal girl - she has straight As, an average social life, and a supportive, middle-class family. After her best friend tragically passes away the summer before her junior year, though, it all fades into grey faster than she can breathe. But what happens when yet another whirlwind enters her life - this time, the unending persistence of her longtime rival, James Lancaster, and his remarkably sweet best friend, Eli Spring? Their support (or in James's case, their annoying distraction) slowly helps her get back on her feet, even if it's as a person she never imagined she could be. Not everything is as it seems, though: both boys are hiding a dark secret of their own, and the closer Ana gets to each of them, the more she's afraid she's run into something deeper than she can handle. At a time like this, Ana needs a life raft more than anything. She just never considered that her life rafts might be drowning too. [rated mature for discussions about mental health and death]

A Shadow, a killer, and possibly her only hope of escaping the endless nightmare she's trapped in but she doesn't know what's worse... the monsters haunting her every thought or the dark hunger he carries with in him. ... For Uriel life among the mage is no fairy tale . For years he's ruthlessly done what needs to be done to keep the gifted criminals of his world in line while trying to fix the mistakes of the past. Determined to hunt down the elusive creator of Skyglass, a drug making and killing mage at an alarming rate, he finds himself following a trail of clues to a girl the mage lords seem desperate to get their hands on.

Her powerful dangerous gifts may just be what he needs to draw his query out of hiding.
