Books in The Keeper Chronicles series

A modern Kerouacian misadventure following the path of true events. Greg’s gut-wrenching and incredibly accurate look into the psyche of an adolescent take us on a harrowing journey, from suburban Long island, to rehabs around the country, to the gnarliest “therapeutic boarding school” you’ve ever heard of. His tale of underground survival on the streets and other extreme institutions that many at-risk youth are sent to is filled with descriptions and secret details about the search for freedom at all costs. A wild ride and inside perspective on America’s bizarre—often failed—systems for rehabilitating troubled youth, and a real eye opener written with candor, humor and pathos. His incredible narrative of perseverance, ingenuity, and pure survival will leave you laughing out loud one minute, on the verge of tears the next, and shaking your head at another. No Direction Home is the first volume of The Drifter Chronicles series, Cayea's personal, disturbing, at times surprisingly hilarious tale of a lost teenage soul on an almost unbelievable, crazy, f***ed up adventure written with emotional depth, chaos and comedy.

On the outside, Dina Demille is the epitome of normal. She runs a quaint Victorian Bed and Breakfast in a small Texas town, owns a Shih Tzu named Beast, and is a perfect neighbor, whose biggest problem should be what to serve her guests for breakfast.But Dina is…different: Her broom is a deadly weapon; her Inn is magic and thinks for itself. Meant to be a lodging for otherworldly visitors, the only permanent guest is a retired Galactic aristocrat who can’t leave the grounds because she’s responsible for the deaths of millions and someone might shoot her on sight. Under the circumstances, "normal" is a bit of a stretch for Dina. And now, something with wicked claws and deepwater teeth has begun to hunt at night….Feeling responsible for her neighbors, Dina decides to get involved. Before long, she has to juggle dealing with the annoyingly attractive, ex-military, new neighbor, Sean Evans—an alpha-strain werewolf—and the equally arresting cosmic vampire soldier, Arland, while trying to keep her inn and its guests safe. But the enemy she’s facing is unlike anything she’s ever encountered before. It’s smart, vicious, and lethal, and putting herself between this creature and her neighbors might just cost her everything.“Andrews is an auto-buy no matter what the genre!” —Romantic Times“If there is one author that defines Urban Fantasy, it is Ilona Andrews.” —Annie Tegelan, Fresh Fiction"One of the brightest voices in urban fantasy and one of my favorite authors.
