Book Description
When Skylar Dufrense attends a career fair, she is attracted to a booth with an unusual banner. The strange thing is that nobody else can see it. But when she is attacked by a creature that doesn't exist, can't exist in real life, she is drawn into a world that is more vast, amazing, and dangerous than she could have imagined. Now she is faced with a stark choice: return to the relative safety and predictability of her university or leave her old life behind and leap into a world of magic and monsters and join an elite group of Veilwalkers who traverse the boundaries between realms to hunt down dangerous creatures. For Skylar, it isn't really a choice. Someone powerful has his eye on her. Danger pursues her wherever she goes. She will have to learn to wield new powers and use new skills if she is going to survive.

When Skylar Dufrense got the opportunity to leave school and her unappetizing job prospects behind for an internship with the Trans-Realm Investigation and Protection agency, she leapt in with both feet. Now, she is in over her head. The wonder of stepping through the Veil into new realms, meeting elves and dwarves and kelpies, even her discovery that she can wield magic, has all faded in the endless grind of training. Skylar is hopelessly behind her fellow trainees, but that isn't her biggest problem. There is a malignant force lurking just below the surface, an evil stirring up trouble wherever Skylar goes. But she can't convince her superiors to take it seriously. And then the danger follows her home.

Book Description
GHOSTLY WHISPERS Rocking chairs moving to and fro in the night…and an inherited house straight out of the eeriest of ghost stories. These were the things Sasha Michaelson found when she arrived on Sunset Island to collect the body of her identical twin…and take charge of her newly discovered niece. But even more frightening to Sasha than her sister’s shadowy presence in the old house, and the killer still running loose on the small island, was the fact that Sheriff Reed Blakeslee stopped her breath and made her heart pound fast. But was the brooding lawman’s determined search for answers caused by a love that hadn’t stopped with death…or by a desire—for Sasha—that he couldn’t deny?

Book Description
Tea maven Theodosia Browning brews up trouble in the latest Tea Shop Mystery from New York Times bestselling author Laura Childs. It is the week before Halloween and Theodosia Browning, proprietor of the Indigo Tea Shop, and her tea sommelier, Drayton, are ghosting through the dusk of a cool Charleston evening on their way to the old Bouchard Mansion. Known as the Gray Ghost, this dilapidated place was recently bequeathed to the Heritage Society, and tonight heralds the grand opening of their literary and historical themed haunted house. Though Timothy Neville, the patriarch of the Heritage Society, is not thrilled with the fund-raising idea, it is the perfect venue for his grandniece, Willow French, to sign copies of her new book, Carolina Crimes & Creepers. But amid a parade of characters dressed as Edgar Allan Poe, Lady Macbeth, and the Headless Horseman, Willow's body is suddenly tossed from the third-floor tower room and left to dangle at the end of a rope. Police come screaming in and Theodosia's boyfriend, Detective Pete Riley, is sent to Willow's apartment to investigate. But minutes later, he is shot and wounded by a shadowy intruder. Timothy begs Theodosia to investigate, and shaken by Riley's assault, she readily agrees. Now, she questions members of the Heritage Society and a man who claims the mansion is rightfully his, as well as Willow's book publisher and her fiancé, all while hosting a Sherlock Holmes tea and catering several others. But the Gray Ghost holds many secrets, as do several other key suspects, while this murder mystery plays out on the eve of Halloween. INCLUDES DELICIOUS RECIPES AND TEA TIME TIPS!

Book Description
The time is 82 BCE during the rise of a remarkably sophisticated civilization in Mesoamerica. Here, exacting mathematicians, expert astronomers, and, most significantly, the distinguished priesthood elite influenced the building of magnificent ornate cities and complex governance. Raasah, the daughter of a powerful Nephite pochtecatl and a renowned high priestess, was a proud educated youth, nearing her age of maturity, living a privileged pampered life. Then, in one horrific night of carnage, her life would change forever. Miraculously spared from a vicious attack on her fathers caravan, Raasah desperately longs to understand why she alone survived. In her search for answers, she becomes increasingly aware of the suffering and injustice around her finding herself immersed in the growing evil that has permeated the very fabric of her beloved city of Ammonihah. With deep pride, she also learns of the valuable role her fathers Brotherhood regimen played in keeping Ammonihahites safe. Amid covert combinations of intrigue and tyranny, Raasah finds solace and aid from three unlikely comrades an unconventional healer, a pious carpenter, and a forlorn orphan. Together with the Brotherhood, they slowly uncover clues of who may be behind the murder of not just Raasahs father but of the murders and disappearances of so many other honourable citizens. As their queries progress, though, the priestcraft values and beliefs that have been engrained in Raasah are direly tested and become disturbingly dubitable! Order of Nehor & the Brotherhood shares a fascinating tale of greed and betrayal, as a lone massacre survivor discovers a devastating truth that both saves and condemns her. (Kootzs) research into the architecture, customs etc. drew me right into that era of time with a desire to learn more about the culture of these people. The flow of (Kootzs) story, the intrigue and political corruption draws the reader smoothly from chapter to chapter and is hard to put down. ending as well was excellent and encourages the reader to delve into book 2. I hope this trilogy flies off the shelves. Dorothy Sera, Master Librarian, MLIS
