Max Plink’s life is complicated. Her parents aren’t getting along. The school bullies are relentless―and her own sister is the cruelest of them. Worst of all, her mouth is a mess. With a mismatched puzzle of a jaw, Max has a Class II malocclusion, otherwise known as a severe overbite. She already has braces, which means she lives on Advil and soft foods after each orthodontist appointment. But now Max has to wear painful (and totally awkward) orthodontic headgear nicknamed “the jawbreaker.” Could things get any worse?

Stevie Crumb doesn’t want to stand out. But when you’re nearly five foot ten in seventh grade, it’s kind of hard not to. All anyone wants to talk about is Stevie’s height―including Stevie’s parents, who would just love for her to be an athlete like her basketball-star older brother. Sure, Stevie wants to be good at something―maybe even great at something. She’d just prefer it didn’t draw more attention to her lanky frame.

She’s headstrong, stubborn, and perfectly content in her palace. He’s a penniless minstrel with no intention of proposing. But one fateful song changes everything . . .

But after turning away one too many suitors, her father issues a shocking decree: she must marry the next man who asks, regardless of his rank or fortune. When that man turns out to be a wandering minstrel—who never meant to propose in the first place—Liesel suddenly finds herself cast out and engaged to a commoner.

Killed by something she can't explain. Now his body is missing, and his soul is trapped in her dreams. As Everly hunts for answers to the mystery, supernatural creatures lurk around every corner. But they aren't the vampires and werewolves of legend Everly expects.

Day in and day out, I was reminded of what I was: a subject, a mere guinea pig to a bunch of insatiable lab tests. These scientists were trying to break me, recondition me, control me. I had no idea that my life would succumb to this, a mysterious phenomenon in need of experimentation. Because humans feared what they couldn’t understand, and I happened to be a powerhouse in my own right, a supernatural prodigy. But one day, after almost twenty years, I escaped, leaving nothing behind but ashes and acid rain.

Cage's problem: He needs to pass his class or he won’t be able to play football, get drafted, or become the NFL star he was meant to be. Harlequin’s problem: people. Luckily, Cage is great with people. Everyone loves him as soon as they meet him, including Harlequin. And Quin is the smartest girl in the class.

While he was able to secure the second shield shard, Rufian left him a parting gift that was both petty and precarious. With the clock to save Thalian winding down, Silas must assemble forces from the goblin, fae, and orc territories to secure the last shard nestled within the Dragon Conclave. He is going to need all the help he can get to save the crystal-core goddess from exploding and sending Thalian into an inevitable apocalypse.

After narrowly escaping a fight against a giant orc shaman, Silas must continue collecting the last two shard pieces of the broken dungeon core to prevent the goddess core from dying.

High school senior Silas Bruer is at his last licks of patience with his terrible and painfully underwhelming life. He is pummeled at school, his girlfriend dumps him, and his piss-poor excuse of a father sends him out on an errand late at night that gets him a stalker on his tail. To make matters worse, the stalker has a vendetta against him, one that leaves Silas mutilated in an alleyway by a dumpster and a half-eaten pizza from Antonio's Pizza Parlor. Death by a mysterious skull-faced titan was inevitable but only temporary. When he wakes up again, he is isekai'd to a fantasy world.

Teasing a wolf usually gets you bit. That’s why I never made a move on my best friend. But when he saves me from the worst fate of all, facing my family without the fiancé I told them I had, he becomes hard to resist.

No one understands what it's like when your mother is famous for her beauty and you are, at best, average. Actually I'm wrong. She wasn't famous just for her beauty, but that's how people tell the story, how people have always told the story. That was even her name for a while. No one remembered her real name. She was just the sleeping princess or Sleeping Beauty. I'm only a footnote in my own life, destined to always be Sleeping Beauty's daughter. My name's Princess Azia Rose of Draconis, and here is my story....

When TBC labeled my girlfriend Rachel Henderson as a class A threat, the first thing I wanted to do was chase after her.

Because of her alliance with the enemy, an impending apocalypse was upon us.

What would you change about your past if you had the chance? What if you didn't have a choice? Stevie Geller doesn't do conflict. She likes her job as a successful novelist and playwright because it allows her to peacefully ensconce herself in her New York City loft, avoid human interactions, and leave personal drama for the page and stage. When her agent asks her to return to her hometown of Darlington, Illinois, to accept an award, she agrees only because he promises the process will be quick and easy.

When Kendall wakes up from a night of drinking with a note pinned to her shirt, the last thing she guesses is that it was put there by a gorgeous guy who desperately wanted to see her again. Why would she? She was nerdy, more than a little awkward, and had never even kissed a guy. And it wasn’t like she had come to university to date. She had big plans. She was going to help people who were going through difficult times and she was going to be the best in the world at it.

My whole life, my mother told me I would never find love. So when my university’s hot, rich, starting quarterback asked me to marry him, this girl said yes. We had only been dating for two weeks. By the third week, he had shattered my heart. Maybe I shouldn’t have made a big deal about bringing him to the next family get-together. Luckily, there was one person who could always fix things when a guy left me in pieces: my best friend, Titus. He was my rock. That’s why I asked him to come home with me to pretend to be my fiancé.

He might make her nerdy heart pound like the drums at one of his football games, but Quin needs to get over star quarterback, Cage Rucker. For one thing, he has a girlfriend. For another, she didn’t come to college to find a guy, even if he is sweet and kind, and volunteers with kids on the weekend. She has bigger plans. Unfortunately, those bigger plans require one thing she doesn’t have—the ability to talk to people. And who’s good at talking to people? Cage Rucker.

Quin's heart aches being alone. But when your wolf has blood on its claws, you're not given a choice. At least, that's what she was thinking when she escaped to a small-town university in backwoods Tennessee. She might never have shifted again if it wasn't for a fated encounter with a dangerously sexy human who wakes her wolf.

Five signs a cat is in heat: Rubs against anything male, coos over kittens, presents her assets as often as possible, gets easily distracted, and loses interest in assassinations. Kill me now.
