The Immortals by Mary Hallberg

About The Immortals by Mary Hallberg

McKenzie Palmer is only 16, but she’s going to live forever.
Well, maybe.
Ten years ago, a devastating economic collapse drove most of the United States into poverty. The only citizens who are free from money worries are the Immortals. Those lucky enough to be chosen are given unlimited access to a life prolonging drug called TNV and lifelong grants to sustain their lavish lifestyles. It’s a position many would kill for.  But when McKenzie is selected for this honor, she’s apprehensive. McKenzie’s grandfather was an Immortal, one of the few who left. He’s always told her how unlimited money and power corrupts most Immortals, and she doesn’t want to lose who she is. But when McKenzie meets a handsome young Immortal named Gage, grandpa’s warnings fall by the wayside.The more McKenzie falls for Gage, the deeper into the world of the Immortals she goes — and the more she realizes how right her grandpa is. But if she leaves, she’ll lose her boyfriend, her eternal youth and her large income. With one foot in each world, McKenzie has to make the toughest decision of her young — and possibly eternal — life.
The Immortals is a young adult sci-fi/romance novel that explores the theme of whether eternal youth, beauty and power are really worth it in the end.

Love in a Little Free Library by Lucy Flowers

About Love in a Little Free Library by Lucy Flowers

What would you do if you were on house arrest for a crime you didn’t commit? You couldn’t drive to get a cappuccino or feel the sun on your face or go on a date with the cute new neighbor? In Love in a Little Free Library, Elle’s mother tries to turn their house into a sanctuary so her sentence will be more tolerable. But Elle dreams of being rescued from her tall tower—the third floor bedroom of her purple Victorian house—by the father she never knew, or maybe even a handsome prince. Then, the over sharing, emotional new neighbor, Ozzy, moves in and slips a note in her little free library. What starts as a friendship between two misunderstood souls, quickly transforms into a forbidden first love that will force Elle to choose between what her mother expects from her and what her heart demands.

I’m on house arrest, and although every criminal claims they’re innocent, I actually am. I didn’t commit a crime—though I often think about wringing my mother’s Type A, judgmental, overbearing neck. She has turned my prison sentence into what she thinks is something of a luxury resort. I have tutors and an indoor pool and a library that rivals the Beast’s in Beauty and the Beast.

But as luck would have it, an adorable, over sharing and quite verbose boy moves in across the street. He slips a note in my little free library, and I’m intrigued. We start talking, and before I know it, Ozzy’s got me wondering if the biological father I long to find might be my favorite whodunnit author—the notoriously reclusive Harrison Blackwater. The universe couldn’t be that obvious…could it?

Ozzy wants me to cut off my court-ordered ankle bracelet and fly to New York City to track down Mr. Blackwater because we have the same eyebrows. I know! It’s insane! So, why am I holding a pair of kitchen scissors and asking myself how far I can get before the cops track me down and lock me up for real?

Love in a Little Free Library will make you swoon and cry… and maybe even laugh. It deals with some tough topics but does so with enough heart to have you rooting for Elle and Ozzy to defy the odds and get their happy-ever-after!

Children of Dust by Mary Hallberg

About Children of Dust by Mary Hallberg

A camping trip. A weekend in the woods. And a clan of the bloodthirsty undead.

16-year-old Tinleigh Brown just wants a fun weekend camping with her friends. When they arrive at the remote campground, she’s reacquainted with Simon, the charming son of the campground’s co-owner — and he’s changed a lot since seventh grade.
When Simon and his sister, Beth, shares a chilling local legend with the group, Tinleigh and her friends laugh it off. The woods are rumored to be haunted by the Children of Dust, century old vampires who sneak into trailers at night to drink the blood of campers. Nobody believes in vampires anymore, or so Tinleigh believes — but the siblings are strangely upset about the stories they believe hurt their business.
Then Tinleigh hears rustling in the woods, has dreams about summoning corpses and wakes up with strange puncture marks on her neck. Simon and Beth insist they’re just bug bites, but something doesn’t feel right. Have their stories made Tinleigh paranoid? Or are these woods really haunted by the undead? And, if the Children are real…have they been right under her nose the entire time?
Equal parts suspenseful and romantic, Children of Dust is a young adult horror book that will satisfy fans of Anne Rice and Stephenie Meyer alike.

As Alistair uncovers a forgotten legacy tied to his family’s past, he must confront the true nature of his abilities. But when a dark force threatens to consume him and unravel the magic that keeps the balance intact, Alistair is faced with an impossible choice: embrace the shadows within or lose the light that defines him.

It All Began At This Creek

About It All Began At This Creek

Good morning, readers of the Bountiful Zone Gazette. It was twenty years ago on this day that some of our older readers might recall. An entire town searched for a missing boy lost in the Forest of Poisonous Fruits. The boy was found forty-eight hours later at a creek without a single scratch on him. He was wearing only light clothing that would not have kept him warm during the cold night. Yet, something had kept him from freezing to death. The forest got its name from the poisonous fruits that grow there. But somehow, he knew which fruit was safe to eat. Then, the strangest part of all, the creek, was more than a kilometre from where he went missing. And the terrain was not easy for a child to cross, I know, because it was hard even for me.

He’s all grown up now, and I tracked him down to see what he was up to. His family has a drilling business in Fruit Orchard Town, and it’s safe to say that since his rescue, his life has been uneventful. The only drama in his life is his penchant for spicy fruit relish, which he and his brother make the most fiery concoction at home.

Yet, while reporting this “where is he now” article, I uncovered a more intriguing discovery: a rock. Yes, a rock, but not just any rock, a rock with its origin is unknown and unearthly. It may be a fragment of the theoretical meteorite that shattered the moon and gave us our ring around the Earth. However, this rock might bring about a solution to a crisis facing our world. And it all began at the creek where the young missing boy eventually was found.

About Afterthoughts by Justine Alexi

Kanara never meant to kill her mother. A lifetime in prison awaits her. But the judge gives her a break and sentences her to ten years at Zylen Mental Hospital.

But the hospital has a few secrets of its own.

Like the cryptic message on the wall in Kanara’s room, written in a cipher only she and her sister know.

And the new voice in her head that seems to be able to predict the future.

And the doctors whispering in secret that their experiment is failing, the patients are dying, and they’re all running out of time.

Leicester Bloomies

About Leicester Bloomies

“Was it about ‘Isabella’ – the first choice of his life, or about the pang of guilt – he felt, to abandon her out of nowhere?”

“Jemima Hewitt” – Tortilla skin, dark blonde hair, pink lips, blue eyes and glossy touchy figure, Ah! A girl born to be a racy boymaker, – was just another skin desired by the boys of Leicester. Frenemies was her diction of life, and spacing ex-boyfies behind – was her comedic chit-chat in daily life. Boyfriends were no longer her cup of tea, but her just cup of some melon candies. Looking for love, was always her new grace – but finding lust was now her next brace.
~
“I just, I just need someone by my side; tonight. That’s it, Bella.”
“Bella?”
“maybe; I meant you – Jemi.”
~
“Felix Holland” – White in the skin, red in the heart, pleasant in the eyes, and terrible with the words, Sh! A boy born to be an innocent troublemaker, – was just another guy, made a bully object by the cronies of Leicester. Hostility was his way of life, and spacing friendships behind – was his sadist chit-chat in daily life. Girlfriends were never his cup of coffee, but his just cup of some bitter berries. Looking for peace, was always his real rhyme – but finding a friend was now his lonely time.

“An Enemies to Lovers romance – conspiring love triangles, teenage conflicts and frenemies; this book is the ‘gOt To Go’ choice for boys and girls; madly in love!”

Here Lyeth by Johanna Frank

Here Lyeth by Johanna Frank

NEW RELEASE NOV. 1/24!
A small-scale supernatural fantasy on big, real-life values. A story of rewiring unworthiness and searching for a place to belong.

Answers are buried beneath a grave marker. Only it happens to be her own.
Something was missing. It was easy for Lexxie to bury that niggling sense, she had all the love and protection a young woman needed. But when the man she thought to be her father spilled a fever-pitched confession—that she’d been taken from her real family as an infant—her content and isolated life ended.

STIRRING… EXTRAORDINARY… UPLIFTING…

Angry and heartbroken, Lexxie left the people she loved on a mere hint—her true father lived in Vereiteln Dorf, two villages over. Once there, she’s drawn to an unconsecrated graveyard. Since answers don’t come easy from the locals, she’s forced to make many assumptions and patch puzzling pieces together. But the more she does, the more her presence in this superstitious village becomes a threat, and the more she gives credence to a voice coming from a pit of ashes. The perils of a noose amid a 1688 witch hunt lay heavy on her shoulders.

Years earlier, in the same village, young Meginhardt succumbs to a vicious attack. Ethereal beings take him on a time-traveling journey to shake away the lad’s deeply rooted struggles of unworthiness.

But when Meginhardt learns that some woman named Lexxie is the chosen one to carry forward his father’s line of descendants, fits of jealousy ensue—a dream shattered. It should have been him. He becomes frantic to ensure the demise of this undeserving woman. In apparitional form, he delivers Lexxie a message, face to face.

Her future lyeth in his words.

• A standalone novel, part of A Lifeline Fantasy Series
• Book length approximately 90,000 words
• Recommended for Young Adults (14+) and up

The Night at Times Square

About The Night at Times Square

Rhiannon Broderick grew up knowing New York City as one word: home. That is, until her world comes crashing down, leaving her with no love-of-her-life and no best-friend-forever. Even her parents have no idea how to deal with their daughter. With one last hope, Mom and Dad take drastic measures: sending her to live with Aunt Vicky on the outskirts of Cleveland, Ohio.

That’s okay for Rhiannon, though. The fewer people, the better. With her graduation happening soon – only 270 days and counting – she plans to travel far away in isolation where no one knows where she is.

But on the first day of Hawkens Academy, she meets a boy.

For Austin Chang, his life is all about smooth sailing: bashes at his mansion, the ladies drooling over him, and the swim team where he’s the best swimmer in his league. With little effort, he comes in first place every time at the butterfly stroke. Sure, he may think it’s lonely, and sure, he doesn’t know what to do once he graduated high school, but he’ll treat every weekend, every party, and every day like it’s his last.

But on the first day of his senior year, at the end of his era, he meets a girl.

Princess Sojourn

About Princess Sojourn

An Amazon princess fights to be queen.

The Greek gods have confined us to the isle of Azure Blue. That’s why this Olympiad makes all my amazon nymph sisters so excited when foreigners cross the sea to compete in the games. I’m excited.

Until I’m told I can’t compete. That puts me in such an awful mood that I escape the palace with my friends atop my winged unicorn. We journey through the forests under Mount Olympus. This sojourn risks our lives, halting the games. Well, I don’t learn my lesson. I defy my mother, the queen, once more in tournament.

While eventual triumph shields me from punishment, it doesn’t protect me from a terrible secret. A secret so terrible that I promise, I promise you, I will rebel again. Even if it means disobeying the gods themselves.

Although tied to the Azure Series, this novel is a standalone young adult tale for a general audience (chronologically preceding the book Azure Blue). Princess Sojourn is a NEW RELEASE.
