The Gems Spy Series
Fans of Ally Carter's Gallagher Girls or Veronica Roth's Divergent will love The Gems spy thriller series of currently eight books.
Dr. Yes (A Prequel Novel) (2019)
Man with the Golden Falcons (2020)
For ages 13 to adult.
The Skid Formula One Racing Series
Fans of Catching Jordan, Furia, and the Dirty Air series — meet the YA sports series that takes you all the way to the top.
You've cheered for the girl who had to be twice as good just to be taken seriously. You've felt the thrill of a slow-burn romance between two people who should keep it professional. You've read about athletes who carry their trauma onto the field and have to fight through it to win.
Now imagine all of that — at 200 miles per hour, across five continents, with a World Championship on the line.
For ages 12 to adult.
The My Girlfriend Bites Werewolf Series
She's a werewolf. He's just a boy. And together, they're the only thing standing between the supernatural world and total extinction.
My Girlfriend Bites is not your typical paranormal romance. Aiden isn't the brooding protector. Bree isn't the damsel in distress. And the danger they face — from an army of the dead to kidnapped witches weaponized against their will — is far darker than any high school drama.
Across three pulse-pounding novels, what begins as one boy's unlikely rescue becomes a continent-spanning supernatural war, a fragile alliance of werewolves, witches, and vampires, and a love story that refuses to follow the rules.
My Girlfriend Bites Again (2023)
For ages 15 to adult.
