Book excerpt: This discounted box set includes all THREE books in the trilogy. Descend, Smother, and Rise. You can’t hide from evil. Especially in a small town. When her cousin rode back into Hinton with a charter of the notorious Leidolf biker club at his back, Tessa fell into the embrace of the rumored assassins and spent five liberating years under their protection. Then her cousin’s girlfriend is slaughtered and dumped in the river, setting a pulse of terror beating through town. One that grows stronger with each mutilated body until not even Tessa herself is safe. If her childhood sweetheart is right, Tessa is the reason the murders are happening. If the evidence is right, her cousin isn’t a vigilante, he’s a serial killer. If the wholesome insurance salesman next door is right, the Leidolf didn’t liberate Tessa, they shackled her with new chains—and those chains are going to get her killed. As her small town descends into darkness, Tessa’s own explosive secrets rock the Hinton charter and set in motion a deadly blaze of events no one is prepared for. Broken trust, shocking betrayals, and murder. Hinton is brought to its knees and the club is at war. Can Tessa give her life to save them? Or is there something much worse than death in store for Tessa? When there is no one left to turn to, revenge is the only answer.

An ALA Best Book for Young Adults An ALA Quick Pick With an absent mother and a domineering stepfather, Travis uses his tough-guy exterior to hide his true passion: writing. After a violent confrontation with his stepfather, Travis is sent to live on his uncle’s horse ranch—exile to a born-and-bred city kid. Angry and yearning for a connection, Travis befriends Casey, the horse-riding instructor at the ranch, and the untamable horse in her stable: the Star Runner. When a friend from the city visits with stories of other kids from the neighborhood facing jail time, Travis is more determined than ever that he needs to escape the life of juvenile delinquency he seems destined for.

Book excerpt: When I ran out of Poca eleven years ago, I never planned on seeing the confines of this small town again. Now, it’s mocking me. The very thing that drove me to run away at seventeen is what’s pulling me right back into Poca’s prickly embrace: my abusive, alcoholic mother. Mom doesn’t want me here any more than I want to be here, but her failing health has me trapped. Making matters worse is the rage my high school boyfriend, the love of my life, has built up over the years since I fled Poca. I couldn’t handle telling Conner goodbye or letting him know where I’d gone. Now he thinks that after I returned, I murdered the local bar owner, Mom’s unyielding alcohol dealer, by burning Rusty alive inside his own home. Luke is the only other true friend I ever had in Poca and he’s followed in his stepdad’s footprints, becoming a member of the police force. A position he can use to help me. Or frame me. Conner took Luke’s wife and now Luke might be using me to get even. The only clue I have to go on to find Rusty’s murderer and clear my name is the mysterious diary I found hidden away. But the unknown author is a twisted self-professed arsonist with ties to Rusty, my mother…and me. My head and heart are aching, and long-buried secrets are coming to light. Poca has a murderer in its midst. One hiding just below the surface. You know what they say—if you want the truth, dig for it. That’s exactly what I plan to do.
