Soul Enchilada
Bug Smoot is broke, just fired, and about to lose her apartment. Her only lifeline is her dead grandfather’s 1958 Cadillac Biarritz. Then a demon named Mr. Beals shows up in the passenger seat and demands the car back. Turns out, her grandfather financed it with his soul. Bug has 48 hours to save herself, the car, and the soul she didn’t know was on the line.
Uncanny
On her sixteenth birthday, Willow Jane discovers she can stop time. Then her sister disappears. An ancient witch called the Shadowless has escaped from her crypt and is hunting Willow Jane’s family. Gothic Boston. Time powers. Old revenge. This one does not go gently.
Zombie Train
Wyatt has been riding out the zombie apocalypse on a cobbled-together train for what feels like forever, running the same loop across the western U.S. with no end in sight. When a mysterious girl arrives with stories of a place called Nirvana and a possible cure for the zombie parasite, Wyatt has to choose: keep running the loop, or risk everything on a long shot.
Three Sisters
Three months after losing their mother in a flash flood, Harper, Ryker, and Jentry follow their grieving father to the Three Sisters Wilderness in Oregon to scatter Mom’s ashes on a favorite trail. Then the volcano erupts. A propulsive survival story about grief, sibling rivalry, and the bonds that hold under pressure — for fans of Gary Paulsen and Mindy McGinnis.
The Hell’s Cross Series
Black Hole Sun
Mars. The far future. Teen regulator Jake Durango leads a crew of fighters hired to protect a mining colony from the Drau, ferocious pig-like creatures that eat humans and answer to a queen. Fast, funny, and brutal in equal measure. The ALA called it a Best Book for Young Adults. Booklist gave it a starred review. They were right.
Invisible Sun
Durango and Vienne are back on a postapocalyptic Mars trashed by Earth emigrants. Vienne gets captured by an enemy corporation and turned into a killing machine. Durango is the son of a corrupt politician trying to escape his father’s shadow. Two renegade mercenaries, one impossibly dangerous planet.
Shadow on the Sun
Durango learns his father heads the enemy forces that captured him. Now he has to escape, reunite with Vienne, and decide what to do about the man who raised him. The final book in the Hell’s Cross trilogy delivers the payoff the first two earned.
Rising Sun
A companion novella set in the Hell’s Cross universe. More Mars. More Durango. For readers who finished Shadow on the Sun and weren’t ready to leave.
