Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gatsby-era glamour, a swoon-worthy love story, and an indomitable heroine dazzle in this romp that captures the extravagance of the Roaring Twenties and the dangers of vigilante justice. A ravishing young mind reader stalks the streets at night in kitten heels, prowling for men to murder. A soft-spoken genius toils away in the city morgue, desperate to unearth the science behind his gift for shapeshifting. It’s a match made in 1928 Chicago, where gangsters run City Hall, jazz fills the air, and every good girl’s purse conceals a flask. Until now, eighteen-year-old Ruby’s penchant for poison has been a secret. No one knows that she uses her mind-reading abilities to target men who prey on vulnerable women, men who escape the clutches of Chicago “justice.” When she meets a brilliant boy working at the morgue, his knack for forensic detail threatens to uncover her dark hobby. Even more unfortunately: sharp, independent Ruby has fallen in love with him. Waltzing between a supernaturally enhanced romance, the battle to take down a gentleman’s club, and loyal friendships worth their weight in diamonds, Ruby brings defiant charm to every page of Murder for the Modern Girl—not to mention killer fashion. An irresistible caper perfect for fans of The Gentleman’s Guide to Vice and Virtue, in an exquisite hardcover package with rose-gold foil.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kendall and Kylie Jenner, stars on the hit reality show Keeping Up with the Kardashians, present their debut novel—a thrilling dystopian story about two super-powered girls who embark on a journey together. In a world of the far future, the great City of Indra has two faces: a beautiful paradise floating high in the sky, and a nightmare world of poverty carved beneath the surface of the Earth. Lex grew up in an orphanage deep in the dark. But even as a child, she instinctively rebelled against her fate—the time when she would be judged either useful to Society or forced to live among the mutations in Rock Bottom, the lowest level. When she is chosen to become an elite cadet of the Population Control Forces, only her fellow cadet Kane truly understands her longing for freedom. Unknown to her, one girl secretly shares her defiance. Livia Cosmo, the Orphan Airess, may live on a sky island surrounded by wealth and privilege, but she is just as restricted as Lex. Rigid discipline governs her every movement, as she learns the art of becoming a Proper Young Woman, the belle of the Emergence Ball, ready to be picked for “cohabitation” by the finest of the Proper Young Men. Her future is assured, until an intriguing encounter with a young man named Kane changes everything. For that is when Lex’s and Livia’s destinies collide…. Approached by an old enemy to help save Kane from mortal danger, Lex sacrifices her Special Ops career to find him in the Islands among the clouds. Her search, high above in the beautiful spires of the City of Indra, brings her instead to the airgirl Livia. Lex and Livia should have nothing in common, and yet they share a kindred yearning for escape from the strict rules that bind them...and a mystifying identical mark. Brought together by danger, they set out to find Kane, but what they discover is even stranger than either dreams.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We're sixteen year olds that have been thrown into the very same war that our parents were killed in. We don't know what to do, we don't have enough training, and all our lives we've been put down and told we're not good enough. We were constantly compared to others, and we only had each other to rely on. They say there's power in numbers, and there is. Sometimes the power isn't good though, and sometimes those numbers were uneven. Enter Jena. She's a crazy maniacal chick that for some reason has been raised to murder every last part of our families. She was somehow involved in every death we've ever heard of. That's not even the worst part. Her boss is just as hormonal as her, except for the fact that her boss is a guy. Silas was also involved in every death we've ever heard of, and he got a kick out of torturing us with that fact. Jena was at least kind enough to spare us that. The thing is, before all of this, our lives were fairly normal. So we were orphans at a young age, and so we lived with the school, but it wasn't like we had too many problems with those facts. Oh one thing that would probably be useful to know is the fact that we also control different elements. So when I say we were thrown into a war, we weren't COMPLETELY defenseless. We had plenty of defense, we just didn't know how to use it. As smart as we were, we were still amateurs when it came to our powers. This journal isn't that special, it's just some leather bound over some pages, and it doesn't contain any magical spells or whatever you're expecting, but it's still interesting to read. Have you ever been thrown into a magical war that's been going on for twenty years? Ever been tossed into an unexpected situation? Ever seen your loved ones explode? Well I'll tell you right now, it's not the greatest story to tell your grandchildren. Open up the journal and join us on our adventure. It's just a few stories of a few cracked lives...
