Books with title The Forbidden Farm

Shyla Harris knows that adults are hiding something from kids—something frightening. The Special Protection Act forbids anyone to tell children under 18 about this secret, and the law is enforced by the ASP, an agency with unlimited powers of censorship, surveillance, and enforced use of secrecy products. Shy's brother Jeffrey has learned the secret and is searching for an answer. She is torn between learning the secret in order to help Jeffrey or ignoring it for her own peace of mind. The secret comes closer when her grandfather “goes” never to return, she hears pitiful wailing but cannot find the source, and she witnesses two bodies disappear. During summer recess, Shy and her best friend Harrie visit Shy's grandmother and discover a cave in which they learn something that could end the fear. However, to speak of it brings risk, and by the end of the summer, Shy, her family, and her friends find out firsthand just how dangerous it can be.

Follow Bethany as her interest in the mysterious leads her to a place, a tree, that only her father knows and where she will find out that not all treasures are gold.

Roseline Enescue didn't ask to become an immortal, to have all of the guests at her wedding slaughtered, or to be forced into marriage with a man whose lust for blood would one day ignite the vampire legend.

Mortal men flock after her while cutthroat girls plot her demise. Yet she remains relatively unfazed until she meets Gabriel Marston. As their lives entwine, Roseline realizes he is more than he seems. His ability to grind concrete into dust pales in comparison to the glowing cross tattoo that mysteriously appears on his forearm. Despite the forbidden bond between them, Roseline can't help wondering what Gabriel is. He's not human. He's not immortal. So just what is he?
