Twenty-year-old Camryn
Bennett had always been one to think out-of-the-box, who knew she wanted
something more in life than following the same repetitive patterns and
growing old with the same repetitive life story. And she thought that
her life was going in the right direction until everything fell apart.
Determined
not to dwell on the negative and push forward, Camryn is set to move in
with her best friend and plans to start a new job. But after an
unexpected night at the hottest club in downtown North Carolina, she
makes the ultimate decision to leave the only life she’s ever known, far
behind.
With a purse, a cell phone and a small bag with a few
necessities, Camryn, with absolutely no direction or purpose boards a
Greyhound bus alone and sets out to find herself. What she finds is a
guy named Andrew Parrish, someone not so very different from her and who
harbors his own dark secrets. But Camryn swore never to let down her
walls again. And she vowed never to fall in love.
But with
Andrew, Camryn finds herself doing a lot of things she never thought
she’d do. He shows her what it’s really like to live out-of-the-box and
to give in to her deepest, darkest desires. On their sporadic road-trip
he becomes the center of her exciting and daring new life, pulling love
and lust and emotion out of her in ways she never imagined possible. But
will Andrew’s dark secret push them inseparably together, or tear them
completely apart?

A simple mission turned deadly.
Nineteen-year-old
vampire Dawn has led a sheltered life within the confines of her
father’s presidential headquarters. Upon being sent on a mission to
revamp four goofy misfits into guardians of a peaceful little town of
Angel Creek, Dawn believes that all her dreams have finally come true.
What starts off as a simple task, turns into something unexpected,
changing Dawn’s life forever and leading the action-loving,
thrill-seeking vampire teen on a path of mystery, danger and intrigue.
When
a human girl is kidnapped by a group of rogue vamps, Dawn discovers
that there is more going on in Angel Creek than meets the eye. And it
all connects to Ethan, the cute newcomer who seems too perfect to be
true, Sebastian, the mysterious vampire with a turbulent past, and even
Dawn herself. Dawn must not only succeed in revamping the troubled
recruits, but must also prevent the vampire race from being overtaken by
a malevolent villain who has a strange and obsessive fascination with
her. As threat escalates, romance blooms, and ghosts from her past begin
to surface, Dawn is sure of only one thing: her life will never be the
same.

Frost by Kate Avery Ellison
In the icy,
monster-plagued world of the Frost, one wrong move and a person could
end up dead—and Lia Weaver knows this better than anyone. After monsters
kill her parents, she must keep the family farm running despite the
freezing cold and threat of monster attacks or risk losing her siblings
to reassignment by the village Elders. With dangers on all sides and
failure just one wrong step away, she can’t afford to let her emotions
lead her astray. So when her sister finds a fugitive bleeding to death
in the forest—a young stranger named Gabe—Lia surprises herself and does
the unthinkable.
She saves his life.
Giving shelter to the fugitive could get her in trouble. The Elders have always described the advanced society of people beyond the Frost, the “Farthers,” as ruthless and cruel. But Lia is startled to find that Gabe is empathetic and intelligent…and handsome. She might even be falling in love with him.
But time is running out. The monsters from the forest circle the farm at night. The village leader is starting to ask questions. Farther soldiers are searching for Gabe. Lia must locate a secret organization called the Thorns to help Gabe escape to safety, but every move she makes puts her in more danger.
Is compassion—and love—worth the risk?
