“I’ve left some clues for you.
If you want them, turn the page.
If you don’t, put the book back on the shelf, please.”


So begins the latest whirlwind romance from the bestselling authors ofNick & Norah’s Infinite Playlist. Lily has left a red notebook full of challenges on a favorite bookstore shelf, waiting for just the right guy to come along and accept its dares. But is Dash that right guy? Or are Dash and Lily only destined to trade dares, dreams, and desires in the notebook they pass back and forth at locations across New York? Could their in-person selves possibly connect as well as their notebook versions? Or will they be a comic mismatch of disastrous proportions?

Rachel Cohn and David Levithan have written a love story that will have readers perusing bookstore shelves, looking and longing for a love (and a red notebook) of their own.

Everyone knows that Chelsea Knot can’t keep a secret...

Until now. Because the last secret she shared turned her into a social outcast—and nearly got someone killed.

Now Chelsea has taken a vow of silence—to learn to keep her mouth shut, and to stop hurting anyone else. And if she thinks keeping secrets is hard, not speaking up when she’s ignored, ridiculed and even attacked is worse.

But there’s strength in silence, and in the new friends who are, shockingly, coming her way—people she never noticed before; a boy she might even fall for. If only her new friends can forgive what she’s done. If only she can forgive herself.

In Allison Sekemoto's world, there is one rule left: Blood calls to blood 

She has done the unthinkable: died so that she might continue to live. Cast out of Eden and separated from the boy she dared to love, Allie will follow the call of blood to save her creator, Kanin, from the psychotic vampire Sarren. But when the trail leads to Allie's birthplace in New Covington, what Allie finds there will change the world forever-and possibly end human and vampire existence. 

There's a new plague on the rise, a strain of the Red Lung virus that wiped out most of humanity generations ago-and this strain is deadly to humans and vampires alike. The only hope for a cure lies in the secrets Kanin carries, if Allie can get to him in time. 

Allison thought that immortality was forever. But now, with eternity itself hanging in the balance, the lines between human and monster will blur even further, and Allie must face another choice she could never have imagined having to make.

Beautiful Demons

Harper Madison isn't like other girls. She has extraordinary powers, but her inability to control them has gotten her kicked from so many foster homes she's lost count. Shadowford Home is her last chance, and she hopes Peachville High will be the fresh start she needs. But when evidence ties her to the gruesome murder of a Demons cheerleader, Harper discovers this small town has a big secret.

Inner Demons

Becoming a Demons cheerleader was the last thing Harper Madison expected when she moved to the small town of Peachville. Now that she's an official member of the squad, her training can begin. Only, this is no normal group of cheerleaders. Harper isn't there to learn dances and cheers. She became a cheerleader in order to finally learn how to control the magic inside. 

The Peachville Demons cheerleading squad is really a training ground for a powerful coven of witches called the Order of Shadows. The training opens up a new world for Harper. It's a world of beauty and magic beyond her wildest dreams, but also a world of pressure and impossible expectations.  A world where every secret hides an even darker secret.

Bitter Demons

So far, life in Peachville has been tough for Harper Madison. She's survived attacks on her life, learned how to control her magic, and met the most gorgeous boy — who also happens to be a demon. After her latest stunt at Brighton Hospital, the Order of Shadows is determined to tighten their control on her life. So when a future Prima from a nearby demon gate comes to town, she and Harper decide to use magic to switch places at a party. All Harper wants is to have a little fun. But the night will end in blood. And Harper will find out the attack was meant for her...

Shadow Demons

In Peachville, there's a fine line between good and evil. That line is about to be crossed.

Rival Demons

After narrowly escaping death at the hand of the Order of Shadows, Harper finds herself thrust into the strange and beautiful world of the shadow demons. But crossing through the portal doesn't mean she is safe. The Order of Shadows is determined to bring her home and transfer the Prima line to the Harris family. They send their most vicious hunters after Harper. Hunters who will not stop until they have found their prey.

Determined to keep her safe, Jackson takes her deep into an underground world filled with dangers of its own. Here, Harper will begin a journey that will teach her more about herself and her own path than she ever imagined possible. But will her relationship with Jackson survive?

Demons Forever

Harper has come so far from her life as a foster child. She never imagined what her future would hold when she was first brought to the small town of Peachville. Since that day she’s faced great evil, found some of the answers she’s been looking for, and fallen deeply, madly in love. But her biggest challenge and her greatest lessons are still ahead of her.

Despite living in the safety of her father’s castle in the shadow world, Harper knows there is a storm brewing just beyond the dome. Priestess Winter will never rest until she gets the Order’s blue ring back, and Jackson won’t let her forget they now hold the key to Aerden’s future.

When an unexpected visitor from Peachville arrives at the castle, bleeding and near death, his story brings Harper to her knees. Someone she loves has been kidnapped and it’s time for her to make a choice. Stay in the safety of the domed city? Or go back to the place where it all began?

Dream Lover

Dusty is a teenage girl, as normal as any of her friends... the Dryads, Faeries, Nymphs, Angels, Cherubs and half-demons like her.
She has a dark past, her mother was killed by a Demon and now she is protecting herself in case that Demon comes back for her.
In the meantime Dusty travels from this world to the Astral Plane and her adventures are legendary... amongst her friends at least.

Flights of Fantasy

Dusty and the Harpies:
Dusty’s second adventure tells how she encounters mythical beasts who are trying to force her best friend’s cousin to commit suicide. She has to confront the beasts and drive them away but to do that, she must travel across the astral plane with the help of her friend Hunter and negotiate with the Ferryman in order to cross the River Styx safely.  

Trouble x3

Something is disturbing Dusty’s sleep and she wants to know what – or who – it is.

A vampire wants her help – it seems odd that such a powerful being should need the help of a half-demon but Dusty is curious and she and Hunter make preparations for their safety before going along with the plan. The plan is not exactly as it would seem and Dusty soon realises that when dealing with vampires, it’s best to stay alert and at a safe distance.

Santa's Little Helper

Santa needs a little help and Dusty is just the girl to do it.

Doppelganger

Dusty's fifth adventure.

Hunter is puzzled, Dusty’s not well and getting worse, but each time he sees her, it’s like she’s a different person. One minute she’s the same feisty girl he’s used to and the next, she’s a flirtatious thief!

Split personality or something far more sinister?

Six Tasks

Dusty is removed from the world and has no idea why. 

She is thrown in amongst goblins, cacodemons and other nasties. She has to think her way out and even then she has other trials to overcome. 

In her 6th adventure, Dusty meets the most powerful Demon she has ever met and who is behind her trials and tribulations this time? Read and find out.

This edition contains all of the Sojourner novels--Sojourner, Covenant, Second Sight, and Anathema.

Sojourner

Seventeen-year-old Elizabeth Moon has been dreaming of her murder her entire life, and in those dreams, a dark presence is there, watching. When she returns home to Hauser’s Landing, the very place her father disappeared, she comes in contact with a gorgeous boy named Lev Walker, and it’s not long before she’s falling in love. But there’s something wrong with Lev. When she realizes he’s the eerie watcher in her dreams, she’ll have to discover the truth. Is he a guardian angel or a sojourner, an angel of death who has come to collect her soul?

Covenant

Lev Walker has fulfilled his purpose in Elizabeth Moon’s life, but it has come at a considerable price. The bullet meant for Elizabeth has shattered Lev’s mortality and the forced separation from Elizabeth has scarred his spirit, so much so that Evan Walker has purged Elizabeth’s memory in order for Lev to start over. Yet love is eternal. What began with a saving Elizabeth’s life continues in healing Lev’s spirit as he is forced to remember what he has lost at the risk of everything.

Second Sight

Elizabeth Moon is desperate to find Lev Walker, the angel she fell in love with. She knows he is a Sojourner, or an angel who escorts souls to the next world, so she believes that if she looks hard enough, she will find him, no matter that a bullet meant for her took his human form away. She’s determined to find him, unaware that even angels wage their own wars that mortals aren’t supposed to know about.

Anathema

Elizabeth and Lev believe the danger with the dark angels and the Dagger of Light are finally behind them, but with Elizabeth’s sacrifice comes a new more menacing threat as whatever power the dagger once possessed now possesses Elizabeth, endangering all those she loves most. In a last ditch effort to protect them, Elizabeth runs away, unaware her fate rests with a triune of angels who have come to judge her transgressions against others of their kind.
