About the book
Juliette’s touch is supposed to kill. One brush of her skin should have ended Warner. Instead, he’s the only one immune to her deadly gift, and that impossibility shakes her to the core.
Now free from his control, Juliette and Adam have joined a rebel group armed with powers of their own. At last, she has a chance to fight back against The Reestablishment, the regime that destroyed her world. But freedom doesn’t silence fear.
Questions haunt her: Why is Adam immune? Why is Warner immune? And what if the answers unravel everything she thought she knew?
As Juliette is pulled between loyalty, desire, and rebellion, one truth becomes clear. Power isn’t just dangerous—it’s intoxicating. And love might be the deadliest weapon of all.

About the book
Calla Williams didn’t ask to become the glue holding her family together. At twenty-five, she’s worn thin by responsibility, haunted by recurring nightmares of her brothers dying in ways she can’t prevent.
Her younger brother Jamie is sixteen, reckless, and more interested in fighting for causes—or finding trouble—than staying safe. Dre, the middle brother, promised to help but disappeared once the paperwork was signed. Calla is left to pick up the pieces.
When Jamie’s protest spirals into chaos, the siblings flee to a remote cabin straight out of a slasher film. But Calla’s visions aren’t just dreams. They’re warnings. And the thing she fears most isn’t outside—it’s already unraveling their reality.
They should have listened. Now survival means facing the nightmare head-on.

About the book
Some towns are more haunted than others—Niagara Falls in the 1980s is one of them.
Twelve-year-old Jake Baker would rather spend summer hanging out with his eccentric Uncle Calvin, a collector of occult trinkets and conspiracy theories, than navigating the local bullies. When two new kids move to town, Calvin ropes them all into the “Saturday Night Ghost Club,” a summer project dedicated to chasing legends, swapping ghost stories, and exploring the shadowy corners of their small town.
But soon, the game turns serious. Behind the campfire tales lurks a truth that’s more unsettling than Jake expected, and what begins as play starts uncovering ghosts of a different kind—ones that linger in families, memories, and the heart.
Not all hauntings wear sheets. Some live inside us.

About the book
In the 1960s, childhood feels both endless and fleeting on Long Island—lazy afternoons, neighborhood games, and secrets too big to share.
Two brothers, restless with imagination, build Botch Town, a cardboard replica of their community, tucked away in their basement. Figurines stand in for neighbors, friends, and family. But it’s their younger sister, Mary—strange, sharp, and otherworldly—who quietly manipulates the clay residents.
When disappearances, deaths, and eerie sightings grip their town, the brothers notice an unsettling truth: every shift in their miniature world plays out in reality. And when a sinister stranger in a long white car appears, the connection becomes undeniable.
The line between make-believe and nightmare has vanished. If Mary keeps remaking the town, what else might come to life?

About the book
Once upon a summer in 1977, four kids and a dog unmasked the monster terrorizing their town. Mystery solved. Roll credits.
Except…it wasn’t that simple. Now it’s 1990, and the former Blyton Summer Detective Club is all grown up and falling apart. Andy is wanted in two states, Kerri is drowning her genius in booze, Nate is in an asylum (and still chatting with their long-dead leader, Peter), and Tim the dog is the only one holding it together.
Haunted by nightmares that refuse to fade, they’re dragged back to the scene of their last case—a creepy mansion, a cursed lake, and secrets too terrifying to explain away with a rubber mask.
The gang’s only chance? Face what really lurked in the dark. Because this time, Scooby Snacks won’t cut it.
