Book Description
If Santiago is NOT the spy, then why is he headed to jail? Can Megan find out the truth before it's too late? Summer is coming to an end at the picturesque seaside town of Seacrest, and with it comes a food truck festival like they've never seen before. Even Margaret gets in on the fad, setting up her own tea truck. But business is hardly booming, and it's left her in poor spirits. But for the moment, Megan has bigger problems. Santiago calls from jail, requesting that she come visit. However, when she does, their conversation makes no sense at all. Why would he use up their precious few minutes speaking gibberish? As Megan begins piecing it all together, she realizes he's just given her a BIG clue. With a clue comes a case, and with a case comes a plan... and a disguise... and a chase. But if Megan thought their villain had small-town intentions, she's in big-time trouble! In way over her head, she never imagined what lengths a well-trained criminal would go to. Before she realizes it, Fred is the target. And now, all bets are off... because Megan would do anything to get him back. Join Megan Henny and Fred as Megan inevitably gets them into trouble, and Fred stumbles over the solution. One fun, thrilling, chilling read with the salty wind in your face and a dark forest as your backdrop. Snuggle up... if you dare.

Book Description
A riveting thriller, Ghost Eater marks the introduction of an intense new voice in seafaring adventure. Moored in a wintry Asian harbor at the turn of the twentieth century, Captain Ulysses Vanders experiences a revelation. A ferryman brings a mysterious gift--a wine at once rare and familiar that brings the sailor back to a moment in Sumatra thirty years before. "I closed my eyes, remembering where I had last tasted this liquor, remembering back across the years, remembering how steady the hand had been that held out the cup to me, and how desperate the circumstances. With a stab, her face rose before me--beautiful, tantalizing, terrible to behold." This haunting memory leads the sailor back to his first command and a desperate river journey to rescue missionaries along a remote jungle river. Captain of an aging steamboat, Vanders soon finds himself burdened with a set of unexpected, mysterious passengers, each traveling to the mission outpost known as "Light of the World" for reasons of his or her own. The island world Vanders discovers is a ghostly place, darkly lit with the flames of social upheaval, a world of superstition and strife, as age-old ways of life are swept away in the murderous rampage of a tribe gone mad. At the edge of civilization, the young American captain learns not only the challenge of command but the courage to confront his own illusions, beautiful and terrible to behold.

In the cold, treacherous land of Vesimaa, children are stolen from their families by a cruel emperor, forced to undergo a horrific transformative procedure, and serve in the army as magical fire-wielding soldiers. Pran and Oksana—both taken from their homeland at a young age—only have each other to hold onto in this heartless place. Pran dreams of one day rebelling against their oppressors and destroying the empire; Oksana only dreams of returning home and creating a peaceful life for them both. When they discover the emperor has a new, more terrible mission than ever for their kind, Pran and Oksana vow to escape his tyranny once and for all.
