Cass Anka needs to find the answers fast and unveil the mystery that connects her to the most ominous threat against humanity the magical community has ever seen. *** Life is magic. And it can be stolen. I thought I was just a regular girl with a passed away mother, a deadbeat dad and a little sister I needed to take care of. Turns out, life is not so simple. A sexy but annoying witch named Finn Braegon claims I have powers, powers that are too advanced for my level. He says I'll have to go to Renfurt Academy of Magic to learn the craft. And right when I think I can deal this new life I'm dragged into, an attack in my house teaches me a few more things. First of all, my mom hid magic from us and I have no idea why. Secondly, The Onyx Order is after me and they are not afraid to hurt the people that I love. Thirdly, I can create earthquakes when I get too emotional and that doesn't even seem to be the full extent of my powers. And fourthly, magic can be stolen. Now, I have to figure out why all of this is happening to me while trying to navigate the ancient halls of a magical castle, defend myself against bullies and agents of the Order working inside the school and survive the first year at Renfurt Academy of Magic. I also need to figure out if I can trust Finn, whose murky past seems to be riddled with secrets. Can't be all that hard, can it?

Book excerpt: The never-before-told true account of the serial killers who terrorized Nashville's music scene for decades--and the cold-case Murder Squad determined to bring an end to their sadistic sprees. Nashville--a haven for aspiring musicians and a magnet for country-music fans. By the time Pat Postiglione arrived there in 1980, it was also the scene of an unsolved series of vicious sex slayings that served as a harbinger of worse to come. As Postiglione was promoted from street-beat Metro cop to detective sergeant heading Music City's elite cold-case Murder Squad, some of America's most bizarre, elusive, and savage serial killers were calling Nashville home. And during the next two decades, the body count climbed. From Vanderbilt University to dive bars and out-of-the-way motels, Postiglione followed the bloody tracks of these ever-escalating crimes--each enacted by a different psychopath with the same intent: to murder without motive or remorse. But of all the investigations, of all the monsters Postiglione chased, few were as chilling, or as game changing, as the Rest Stop Killer: a homicidal trucker who turned the interstates into his trolling ground. Next stop, Nashville. But Postiglione was waiting.

TAKE YOUR BREATH AWAY From the New York Times bestselling author of Find You First and Elevator Pitch comes a gripping psychological thriller about a formerly missing woman who has suddenly returned under mysterious circumstances. One weekend, while Andrew Mason was on a fishing trip, his wife, Brie, vanished without a trace. Most everyone assumed Andy had got away with murder—it’s always the husband, isn’t it?—but the police could never build a strong case against him. For a while, Andy hit rock bottom—he drank too much to numb the pain, was abandoned by all his friends save one, nearly lost his business, and became a pariah in the place he once called home. Now, six years later, Andy has finally put his life back together. He sold the house he once shared with Brie and moved away. To tell the truth, he wasn’t sad to hear that the old place was razed and a new house built on the site. He’s settled down with a new partner, Jayne, and life is good. But Andy’s peaceful world is about to shatter. One day, a woman shows up at his old address, screaming, “Where’s my house? What’s happened to my house?” And then, just as suddenly as she appeared, the woman—who bears a striking resemblance to Brie—is gone. The police are notified and old questions—and dark suspicions—resurface. Could Brie really be alive after all these years? If so, where has she been? It soon becomes clear that Andy’s future and the lives of those closest to him depend on discovering what the hell is going on. The trick will be whether he can stay alive long enough to unearth the answers.
