Perfect Girl
PERFECT FOR HALLOWEEN... AN EDGE-OF-YOUR-SEAT THRILLER FROM THE AUTHOR OF GRACE AND FURY
"A chilling cat-and-mouse game." ―April Henry, New York Times bestselling author of Girl, Stolen and Stay Dead
" A riveting thriller packed with so many chills and swoon-worthy moments, readers will be tearing through the pages." ―Natalie C. Parker, award winning author of the Seafire Series
Jessa has been raised to be the "perfect girl." She is unfailingly polite, never rocks the boat, and always follows the rules--no matter what. Her friends love to give her a hard time for being such a goody two-shoes, but Jessa likes it this way. She knows what's expected of her, and she's happy to be the person her parents (and society) want. When a freak storm takes out the power during a sleepover at Jessa's creepy, old house, things go south before the pizza gets cold. Her friends are at each other's throats, unexpected guests keep showing up (some more welcome than others), and it's not just her brother serving up jump scares. A killer looking for the perfect girl has targeted Jessa, and she'll have to reject everything she's been taught if she wants to keep herself--and her friends--alive until sunrise. Who knew perfection could be so dangerous? "Banghart mischievously upends all the sleepover-and-pizza conventions to create a twisty tale of love and desire gone foul. A darkly jubilant, unbound, addictive read." ―Derek Milman, author of A Darker Mischief and Swipe Right for Murder "Deliciously smart, suspenseful, and chilling. Perfect Girl is almost too good." ―Anica Mrose Rissi, author of Nobody Knows But You "Perfect for a stormy night!" Diana Rodriguez Wallach, author of Small Town Monsters and Hatchet Girls -

We Interrupt This Program
Welcome to Seaview Haven. A delightful village of charming humans, quaint homes - and cozy mysteries! Fortunately, there's silver-haired author-turned-sleuth Winnie Arrowmaker on hand to solve them all.
But things aren't exactly as they seem. Seaview Haven is one of the Seelie Court Network's many invented TROPE towns, and the "mysteries" are scripted and streamed for the entertainment of enchanted creatures across the Veil. Or, rather, they were...
Winnie has a wicked case of writer's block, moviemaking across the Veil has ground to a halt, and the town is crumbling.
Enter Finch, an SCN intern who might be the worst Unseelie ever. With aid from his reluctant brownie assistant, Finch is assigned to figure out what's gone wrong in Seaview Haven... so he can dismantle it forever. But after landing in town, Finch soon learns that real lives - and real friends - aren't so easily canceled.
To keep "The End" from being stamped on Seaview Haven, Winnie and Finch are going to have to tell a Truly Great Tale. Because as they realize, real power lies not in the stories we watch, but in the stories we tell ourselves.

In This Moment
What happens when science pushes beyond its boundaries-and faith is the only thing that can hold it together? In In This Moment, Valesha Jones weaves a gripping story of faith, science, and redemption.
Ted Brackens, a leading computer scientist, has created an artificial intelligence so advanced it could change the world-or destroy it. Jennifer Scorland, a principal software developer, finds herself caught in the middle of a global cyber fraud that threatens lives and reputations. Meanwhile, Shane, a man brought to his lowest point, struggles to find his way back before it's too late. And Darius Johnson, a college athlete determined to follow God's call, discovers the great lengths to which God will go to reach the one. As these four lives intersect in unexpected and providential ways, each must face the limits of human wisdom and the reality of divine intervention. Jones's suspenseful narrative explores the power of technology, the danger of pride, and the unchanging truth that no machine can replace a living relationship with God.
A compelling blend of contemporary science fiction and Christian suspense, In This Moment asks readers to consider how faith endures-and even thrives-when the world's creations begin to rival their Creator.

Little Joy
"Like someone looking for a lost key, Matthew Murrey searches the world around him-an el platform in Chicago above a vacant lot, a hidden lake in the Northwoods of Minnesota, a blind man on a city street playing a black guitar for alms. What is it the poet seeks? A little joy? Yes, that must be it, for these poems leave us positively transported, transformed, transfixed by joy. This book is accomplished, lovely, and moving. What more might we ask of poetry?"
-Richard Jones, author of Passport
