Kara and Hardy Reynolds and their best friend Sam spend their school nights as secret monster hunters. On the New Year's Eve of Kara's senior year, she is killed during a battle between Hardy and a monster. Fearful for his own life, Sam flees, and Hardy, alone and racked with guilt, descends into despair. Using her unbounded devotion as a guide, Kara returns as a ghost, and with a new set of skills, she and Hardy continue hunting monsters.
When Sam's departure turns into a kidnapping, Kara calls on indebted witch Beth Winter to help infiltrate a cavernous lair hidden below a small town mansion where they suspect Sam is captive. Once inside, they encounter three imprisoned monsters: undead nerd Chris, party-girl vampire Monique, and pious werewolf Will. After uncovering a mystery more sinister than they ever could have imagined, their rescue operation becomes a fight for survival, challenging Kara's devotion to everything she holds dear.

Get A Life | ONC2023 Shortlist
While her best friend Cassidy snacks on brie and boys in France, Darcy Li-Quinn must face her last year of high school and the unpredictable wrath of her sister, Danica, alone. Darcy's plan for dealing with Danica and her heinous friends is simple-be invisible. But first, she's promised Cassidy she'll do 'one brave thing'. Mustering the courage to say 'hi' to the cute boy on the bus, Darcy expects rejection or indifference. She doesn't anticipate a grumpy ghost with unfinished business who needs her help. Suddenly, a quiet year of flying under the radar looks increasingly unlikely. *** Rationally, Hunter Viera knows that his brother's death wasn't his fault. But that doesn't stop his guilt about Archer invading his every thought or lessen the grief sitting heavy in his chest.

Suddenly, a quiet year of sitting on the sidelines looks increasingly unlikely. *** This is a story about hearts and hope and public transport.

Magic Tricks 🔮 Book 2 || gxg
« WAM book two » Ada was tired of running. Yes, she was the one with the lockpicks who helped Sam the winter prior with her little key issue. It's one of the many bizarre, frankly illegal things she's good at. It would take a long time to explain it all, but suffice it to say she helped Charles and Jocelyn, twins six years her senior, steal a lot of shit. She grew tired of it, though, and after some planning with Detective Hillebrandt, she gave her siblings a tip and made sure there was tangible evidence on the two for a search warrant to be executed the following morning to uncover. It was supposed to be in the bag. She did everything right. Some clerical error led to the warrant being thrown out before it even reached court, along with the entire case. Charles and Jocelyn walked, but Ada was already running by then. So, it's back to square one. She's up to her eyeballs in werewolf politics, trying to be the perfect girlfriend while planning the biggest heist of her life in a last ditch effort to put her greedy siblings behind bars, for good this time.
