Book Description
Morgan Galloway is in deep depression. And it's only getting worse. Two years ago, Morgan was told she shouldn't look the way she looks. And of course, the bully who told her that was only joking. But Morgan didn't see it as a joke; she went home to kill herself, only to wake up in the hospital hours later. She has a voice in her head that is telling her every day why she is in no way beautiful, and Morgan thinks the only way to really get rid of the voice is to end it all. She fears she won't ever get better, and she doesn't want to spend the rest of her life getting made fun of. She has kind support from her mom and brother, but her dad just doesn't get it. He is the one parent she wants love and affection from, but he refuses because of the attempt she did on her bathroom floor.

Book Description
Frannie Cavanaugh is a good Catholic girl with a bit of a wicked streak. She has spent years keeping everyone at a distance---even her closest friends---and it seems as if her senior year is going to be more of the same . . . until Luc Cain enrolls in her class. No one knows where he came from, but Frannie can't seem to stay away from him. What she doesn't know is that Luc is on a mission. He's been sent from Hell itself to claim Frannie's soul. It should be easy---all he has to do is get her to sin, and Luc is as tempting as they come. Frannie doesn't stand a chance. But he has to work fast, because if the infernals are after her, the celestials can't be far behind. And sure enough, it's not long before the angel Gabriel shows up, willing to do anything to keep Luc from getting what he came for. It isn't long before they find themselves fighting for more than just Frannie's soul. But if Luc fails, there will be Hell to pay . . . for all of them.

Book Description
She wrote one of the most memorable American short stories of the century, "The Lottery", a chilling tale that shocked the world when it was first published in 1948. To many, this haunting allegory epitomizes the short story form. A deceptively simple, but ultimately tragic tale, the life of its author, Shirley Jackson, echoes in every phrase. A brilliant writer, she was a woman of extreme contradictions. Her extraordinarily complex life is revealed in this compelling biography of a creative genius who left her indelible mark on the literature of our time. -- From publisher's description.

The brutal murder of a friend leaves lawyer John Coleman stunned and sends shockwaves through the city of Cleveland.

Jennifer, the victim’s beautiful daughter, hires John to handle her father’s estate, and romantic feelings for her soon complicate his already troubled marriage. When John finds himself entangled with a cold-blooded biker gang, an ex-cop with a fuzzy past, and the drug-addicted son of the dead man, he struggles to make sense of it all. But he cannot shake a growing sense of dread.

Megan promises listeners to her new radio call-in show that she'll "slay their personal demons," and they believe her. So do the personal demons.
