She was perfectly fine going through her senior year unnoticed and unapproachable. That was until Kieran Smith sat next to her in AP Goverment. Now her senior year has became drastically different from "unnoticeable" and "unapproachable".

Seventeen-year-old Lorelei “Lori” Blakely knows better than to wander the uninhabited Dead Zone—Dad would kill her if she did. But that doesn’t stop her from wandering into the city ruins just a train ride away. That night, she’s able to perform stunts she’d never be able to do—like jumping from her window in her apartment to the parking garage next door. Not only that, but she wanders into a part of the city she’d never go to. There, she runs into Gavin, the guy who knows the truth behind the Demon Research Center’s tactics, and who says she now has a demon’s soul inside her. Lori doesn’t know what to think—about the demon in her soul, about how Gavin’s opinion on her seems to bounce between good and bad. And then there’s the Demon Research Center, the place Dad wants to take her, where they’re supposed to “fix” her. But she knows one thing: no matter what, she won’t let the demon inside ruin her life.

Lai Mansen is an imp, or a genetically improved human, one of four owned by the genetic technician Felix Mansen. She has a standard appearance, a standard job, and a standard family...but something has always been a little off about her, a little different from the norm. While most imps are completely devoted to their work, she'd rather read old-fashioned books, write fairy tales, and play her keyboard than focus on her career. It's been ten years since she was created, and people are starting to worry about her. Then the Imps Liberation Group -- an anti-human organization hellbent on turning the order of imps and humans upside-down -- attacks a nearby settlement. Suddenly, Lai's quirkiness is the least of anyone's worries. As a volunteer army called the Uniters joins the fight to put the ILG back in their place, a bizarre mystery starts to unravel. It all comes down to one mysterious name: Pandora Amity, an alleged human/imp hybrid who disappeared long ago. The battle continues, and then Lai learns the truth about the ILG...and about herself. And now, no matter what she does, things will never be the same again...

Many people believe that the blind are only those who can't see. They are wrong. Everyone is blind, in one way or another. Blindness comes in many forms. Those who are blind to the evils of the world are blind to reality. Those who are blinded by beauty are consequently blind to the fact that it comes with a price. And those who are blinded by light are also blind to the notion that it is accompanied by shadows. And though I must admit that I, too, was not above being blind. I knew the shadows all too well. My life was lead in the shadow of a wall; I was born shrouded in it, and if it were up to them, I would die the same way as well. The very moment I began to understand the world around me was the same moment it came crashing down. For at that moment, I realized that this wasn't my world. It was theirs. I had previously said that I was not immune to blindness. I knew I was different, but as they say, everybody is different for a reason. But I was blind to the fact that my reason was him. I was blind to the cruel twist of Fate that allowed my captor to become my liberator, and I was blinded again by the same cruel twist of Fate that made my liberator my captor. I was blind to the implications of making a deal quite literally signed in blood, and I was blind to the fact that it would bind me to the life of another for eternity as we knew it. I was born for him. He was born to kill. But, despite being blind to all this, I swore would never be blind to one thing: Though I may wear the Devil's Heart around my neck and His mark on my skin, I will never call myself a vampire's Compeer.

Olivia Karizslowski split her summer between family, work, and training for the upcoming soccer season at Hobart and William Smith Colleges, a private liberal arts institution in upstate New York. She was a little older, a little wiser, and more than ready to head into her sophomore year now that she knew what she had to do: ten pills a day, and watch what she ate so she didn't end up feeling like a tack-filled balloon. Boys were the last thing on her mind, as there was being a biology major, a soccer player, a complete klutz, a spaz, and occasionally catching some sleep to keep her occupied. She'd been ridin' solo for over a year, and that was just fine. Until life decided to be funny, Ford side-mirrors got lower, and irony became tangible. Between football boys, odd nicknames, shiners, ER visits, physics tests, a boy named Murphy, general academic woes, and maybe making the NCAA tournament, Ollie thought then she had more than enough to keep her on her toes. Now she's pretty sure she needs a crash helmet if she's going to survive this year, two semesters in and four floors up.
