Dare Chase doesnāt believe in ghosts.
Privately, sheās a supernatural skeptic. But publicly, sheās keeping her doubts to herselfābecause sheās the voice ofĀ Attachments, her brand-new paranormal investigation podcast, and she needs her ghost-loving listeners to tune in.
Thatās what brings her to Arrington Estate. Thirty years ago, teenager Atheleen Bell drowned in Arringtonās lake, and legend says her spirit haunts the estate. Dareās more interested in the suspicious circumstances surrounding her deathācircumstances that she believes point to a living culprit, not the supernatural. Still, sheās vowed to keep an open mind as she investigates, even if sheās pretty sure what sheāll find.
But Arrington is full of surprises. Good ones like Quinn, the cute daughter of the houseās new owner. And baffling ones like the threatening messages left scrawled in paint on Quinnās walls, the ghastly face that appears behind Dareās own in the mirror, and the unnatural current that nearly drowns their friend Holly in the lake. As Dare is drawn deeper into the mysteries of Arrington, sheāll have to rethink the boundaries of what is possible. Because if something is lurking in the lakeā¦it might not be willing to let her go.

Bestselling author Shawn Sarles’ most terrifying YA horror yet…
It starts innocently enough. Four kids – three girls, one boy – are at one of their houses, playing games. One of them has read about “Bloody Mary” and the idea that if you look into a mirror and say her name thirteen times, she will show you the future. Some legends say she’ll show you your one true love or a skull to mark your death within five years. Others say that conjuring Bloody Mary will bring her into your world.
Both sets of legends are true. The kids go through with the act, saying her name thirteen times. One girl looks in the mirror and sees her longtime crush. One girl looks in the mirror and sees the boy in the group. But she pretends to see something else. One girl looks in the mirror and sees a girl she’s never seen before but can’t get out of her mind. And the boy . . . he sees a skull. But he pretends to see something else. They try to laugh it off. And mostly they forget about it. Or at least they don’t talk about it. Yes, over the next few years, whenever they look into a mirror, it’s like there’s always another figure standing in the background, getting closer.
Just short of five years later, the four of them are no longer friends, having gone on separate paths. The girl whose house it was has always tried to avoid the mirror they used – because she always sensed someone in the background. One morning as she’s passing by, she sees much more than her own reflection – it’s a scary figure taunting her. She startles and breaks the mirror. When the pieces are put back together (barely), the figure is gone.
That day in school, a new girl arrives. Her name is Mary…Ā

Magic doesn’t exist in the broken city of Lkossa anymore, especially for girls like sixteen-year-old Koffi. Indentured to the notorious Night Zoo, she cares for its fearsome and magical creatures to pay off her family’s debts and secure their eventual freedom. But the night her loved ones’ own safety is threatened by the Zoo’s cruel master, Koffi unleashes a power she doesn’t fully understand–and the consequences are dire.
As the second son of a decorated hero, Ekon is all but destined to become a Son of the Six–an elite warrior–and uphold a family legacy. But on the night of his final rite of passage, a fire upends his plans. In its midst, Ekon not only encounters the Shetani–a vicious monster that has plagued the city and his nightmares for nearly a century–but a curious girl who seems to have the power to ward off the beast. Koffi’s power ultimately saves Ekon’s life, but his choice to let her flee dooms his hopes of becoming a warrior.
Desperate to redeem himself, Ekon vows to hunt the Shetani down and end its reign of terror, but he can’t do it alone. Meanwhile, Koffi believes finding the Shetani and selling it for a profit could be the key to solving her own problems.

The hunt begins. But it quickly becomes unclear whether they are the hunters or the hunted.
