  • The Misfortune Cookie

    Sara Linton

    Paperback (CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform, Nov. 15, 2011)
    Henrietta Bloom knows seventh grade is a special kind of torture—braces, a despotic teacher, her first crush. Finding a curse inside a fortune cookie doesn’t exactly boost her confidence. Her parents, two respected archaeologists, assure her that it’s a joke directed at them. After all, the curse refers to King Alaric’s lost tomb, which they are preparing to excavate. After her parents leave for Italy, Henri’s luck plummets. The queen bee hears about Henri’s curse and misfortune cookies are suddenly popular at school—fatal farts, bad breath, stink eye. More importantly, Henri is sure antiquity thieves are stalking her, her parents are missing, and her babysitter has gone off the deep end. Desperate to find her parents, Henri dives into the history of Alaric’s curse, seeking out a cranky archaeologist who warns her to stop. Henri guesses she might be digging her own grave, but she can’t quit. Her fortune is at stake.

    Melissa Haag, Tara Sands

    MP3 CD (Audible Studios on Brilliance Audio, Oct. 18, 2016)
    The spring Gabby meets Clay, Michelle - another girl like Gabby - discovers the truth. A truth she'll need to share with Gabby and the other four like them. Michelle... They kept me prisoner for four years, using me for my predictions. They thought they had me subdued, meekly following orders, but they were wrong. I was waiting for a chance to run. I had to be careful, though. They had my brothers, and the leader wasn't exactly human. The sudden death of her stepfather gives Michelle the only chance she may ever have to escape, and she takes it. She needs a place to hide and someone to listen to her predictions so her head doesn't explode. Yet there's nowhere she can hide and no one to protect her from the monsters pursuing her. Then she meets Emmitt. He's calm, kind, caring...and a werewolf. If she can find a way to trust him, he might be able to do more than just keep her safe. He might be the one who can help her fight for answers about her gift and the other women like her.

Fortunately, she doesn't have to navigate the supernatural world alone. Luca, sexy, confident, and so damn tempting, is happy to guide her-if she'd only accept his help. She quickly learns how much she needs his assistance just to stay alive, when a Jiang Shi-a vengeful Chinese spirit -starts systematically murdering the city's elite business leaders. While the Jiang Shi proves to be a formidable opponent, Radiance finds the growing attraction between her and Luca to be even scarier.
