It was bad enough that Becky witnessed a brutal murder at an ice skating rink when she was six.  Far worse was that no one else saw it or believed her. No one else could see the monster who did it or his young victim. Becky was cursed to see things that no one else could. In a world of hidden magic and invisible monsters, Becky could see. Not that this helped her social life. 

Becky is a magical detective in a world of monsters and magic veiled from human eyes. While most people can't see the vampires, werewolves, and spirits, Becky's eyes are wide open. Unlike other magical detectives, she doesn't have spells or magical objects to protect her. She just has her brains, her friends, and her knowledge earned through lots of trauma.All Rights Reserved

Who will Arise? by MashBap

Waking up face down in mud sucks any day of the week. But coming around in the sludge of a strange realm...? Well, that just redefines a bad day altogether. Trapped in an unfamiliar world, sixteen-year-old Quinn is frustrated that none of the strange Tree People appreciate his urgency to get back home to earth. Now he is faced with a choice that could change the course of his life: escape and find his own way home, or stay and help them find the cause of the poison ravishing their world. When the mind-reader unlocks one of the ancient mysteries of the Tree People it points to the only way of saving them from annihilation: they have to find the Power of Light. What exactly that means, the mind-reader doesn't reveal, but his next warning comes as a shock to all present: finding the mysterious Power of Light can only be done with the help of the dangerous enemy tribe whom they once called family. Quinn soon finds himself a little more entangled in the lives of these gifted beings than he'd care to be. Especially after meeting Jazz: the feisty girl from his world who seems to be a regular visitor to the world of Zoay. To Quinn's constant frustration, the aqua-eyed pixie makes it clear that she's not there to make friends. On their journey they'll brave bizarre encounters in dangerous alien forests, while sacrificing pride and will for the survival of all. Along the way Quinn finds more than he ever thought to seek: purpose, fulfillment and love. When the Power of Light is finally found a devastating discovery is made: if all of Zoay-including their enemy-want to live and prosper, one must be willing to sacrifice their life.
