Book excerpt: Growing up in one of the most notorious neighborhoods in Brooklyn isn't easy, but for a long time it seemed as if Prince Poet Washington might defy those odds. Sixteen years ago, his father abandoned the family, so Poet has always felt a sense of responsibility. At twenty years old, he is the man of the house, keeping a watchful eye on his two younger sisters and helping his hardworking mother with the bills. It's not easy, but as a loyal son and brother, Poet feels it's his obligation to take care of his family. His willingness to protect them by any means necessary may seem admirable to most, but when Poet unwittingly goes above and beyond the call of duty, horrible secrets are revealed. Now the trust and the bonds that he worked so hard to build are threatened. Will Poet succumb to the pressure? The Killer Poet is a poignant story about a misguided young man torn between two factors: his allegiance to his family or doing whatever it takes to survive in the streets. Unfortunately, Poet is forced to make a deadly choice—a choice that could cost many lives, including his own.

Toxic: Saige should know better by now, but she can’t seem to stop making dubious deals with sketchy beings. It always seems like a good idea at the time, but inevitably ends up biting her on the butt later. The badass bounty hunter finds herself in a situation where she needs to call on backup outside of her job. Her mom will need to come out of retirement to assist her with a private mission. They won’t be alone during their dangerous endeavor, since Aurora will also be getting in on the act. Saige’s love life is as rocky as ever and Lord Gilden keeps distancing himself from her. Something will have to give, because she can’t keep putting herself through the emotional turmoil. The dragon needs to make up his mind whether to man up and admit his feelings for her, or to end the rollercoaster ride they’re stuck on. Redux: Being the best bounty hunter in Nexus is awesome, but it comes with a price. Saige Sterling’s fame is growing and her services are in increasingly high demand. When one of Lord Gilden’s allies requests her assistance, she has no choice but to accept. If she messes this job up, Saige could end up making a powerful enemy. Drake has a mission for his entire team and they’ll have to work together again. The evil fairy they’ve been hunting is gunning for the weredragon. She has a grudge against him and she won’t stop until one of them is dead. Saige’s romance with her boss becomes even more precarious when a secret he’s been hiding comes to light. She’ll need to come to terms with what she’s learned when she, Aurora and Ruen are sent to the fifth realm of the underworld. They’re at the halfway mark of retrieving all nine fragments of the spell, but stealing them from the guardians is never easy. Apex: Working two jobs and not getting enough sleep is making Saige Sterling a very cranky bounty hunter. As if that isn’t bad enough, Lord Gilden has found another way to punish her for quitting. He’s forcing her to watch him pay her colleagues their bounties. Saige knew right from the start that this arrangement wasn’t going to end well. Things take a turn for the worse when someone starts pranking her. She knows who is responsible for her torment, but there’s little she can do about it. Drake is aware that Saige has a temper at times. He discovers exactly how hot her rage can flare when her control finally snaps. He’ll be stuck with the job of fixing the problem he created when he’d chosen his method to punish for her for walking out on him.

Black kids who grow up in white spaces, living at an intersection of race and class that many doubt exists. He needed to get far away from the preppy site of his upbringing before he could make sense of it all. Through a series of personal anecdotes and interviews with his peers, Cole transports us to his adolescence and explores what it’s like to be young and in search of identity.
