Ferreted Away by Gwen Mitchell

The clacking of Charlene’s high heels echoed down the narrow cement hallway as she followed behind the burly institution guard.  He ambled along, frequently looking over his lump of a shoulder to ogle her.  She gave him a saccharine smile every time and put an extra flutter in her lashes, which almost had him tripping over his own feet.  Distracted was good.

When they’d reached the halfway point, he hunched over and fumbled with the jangling loop of keys on his belt.  Charlene pulled a small compact mirror out of her gaudy pink shoulder bag and pretended to check her hair and make-up. The guard didn’t notice the tiny red light on the camera at the end of the hall behind them winking out.  So far, so good, she thought, and snapped the compact closed. Read more

Black Magic Sanction by Kim Harrison

Rachel Morgan has fought and hunted vampires, werewolves, banshees, demons, and other supernatural dangers as both witch and bounty hunter—and lived to tell the tale. But she’s never faced off against her own kind . . . until now. Denounced and shunned for dealing with demons and black magic, her best hope is life imprisonment—at worst, a forced lobotomy and genetic slavery. Only her enemies are strong enough to help her win her freedom, but trust comes hard when it hinges on the unscrupulous tycoon Trent Kalamack, the demon Algaliarept, and an ex-boyfriend turned thief.

It takes a witch to catch a witch, but survival bears a heavy price.

The Dead-Tossed Waves by Carrie Ryan

Gabry lives a quiet life. As safe a life as is possible in a town trapped between a forest and the ocean, in a world teeming with the dead, who constantly hunger for those still living. She’s content on her side of the Barrier, happy to let her friends dream of the Dark City up the coast while she watches from the top of her lighthouse. But there are threats the Barrier cannot hold back. Threats like the secrets Gabry’s mother thought she left behind when she escaped from the Sisterhood and the Forest of Hands and Teeth. Like the cult of religious zealots who worship the dead. Like the stranger from the forest who seems to know Gabry. And suddenly, everything is changing. One reckless moment, and half of Gabry’s generation is dead, the other half imprisoned. Now Gabry only knows one thing: she must face the forest of her mother’s past in order to save herself and the one she loves.

Kindred Chronicles: The Blood Prophecy By Carmon Steele

“Awe man, I love Air Supply,” she relaxed into her car seat, cranking the volume up as loud as it would go. She lost herself in the moment singing, “I’m all out of love, I’m so lost without you.”

High beams from an oncoming car blurred her vision. Blocking the lights with her hand, Adrienne swerved toward the shoulder of the road. Correcting herself, she veered back onto the pavement and honked her horn.

Teahouse of the Fat Full Moon by Mari Mitchell

No clock was present in the DarliJ’s House of Tea, but still the minutes ticked by as James sat alone behind the counter.Enthusiastic rain poured outside as he drank a cup of Pingshui Gunpowder. Intensely aromatic steam warmed his face and mustache. The tea’s slightly smoky flavor had a lemony aftertaste.

The bell above the door jangled as a sopping wet woman entered. James watched her shadow glide across the linoleum floor as she made her way to her usual table. Sometimes one of her two brothers would join her, but most times her boyfriend sat across from her. He with his red, unruly hair, unkempt clothes and his wild nature fidgeted, longing to be free from the restraints of a public house of tea. She with her well-behaved, chestnut waves framing her heart shaped face, a tidy dress of periwinkle, and her patient-as-peach attitude. Read more
