There is a right way and a wrong way to summon her. Jess had done the research. Success requires precision: a dark room, a mirror, a candle, salt, and four teenage girls. Each of them--Jess, Shauna, Kitty, and Anna--must link hands, follow the rules . . . and never let go. A thrilling fear spins around the room the first time Jess calls her name: "Bloody Mary. Bloody Mary. BLOODY MARY." A ripple of terror follows when a shadowy silhouette emerges through the fog, a specter trapped behind the mirror. Once is not enough, though--at least not for Jess. Mary is called again. And again. But when their summoning circle is broken, Bloody Mary slips through the glass with a taste for revenge on her lips. As the girls struggle to escape Mary's wrath, loyalties are questioned, friendships are torn apart, and lives are forever altered. A haunting trail of clues leads Shauna on a desperate search to uncover the legacy of Mary Worth. What she finds will change everything, but will it be enough to stop Mary--and Jess--before it's too late?

The wrong jinn at the right time, Zahara's a force to be reckless with Zahara, party girl of the paranormal, floats up out of a lamp in Daniel Goldstein's apartment ready to trick a sorcerer into giving up his soul. But Daniel, whose Moroccan grandmother has reached out from beyond the grave to command him to raise a jinn, wants to do good—by stopping a vengeful fallen angel. The nymphomaniacal, shopping-obsessed Zahara isn’t the otherworldly ally Daniel had in mind. A do-gooder with a dangerous quest isn't what Zahara's looking for, either. Stuck in a magical contract with each other, the two travel to Morocco, where Zahara’s handsome friend Zaid, a jinn who's converted to Islam, reluctantly joins their quest. As Daniel and Zaid struggle against jinn-hunting mercenaries and their attraction to one other, Zahara is forced to join forces with the fallen angel's gorgeous but infuriating brother to stop a cataclysmic war between the human and jinn worlds.

It's a stupid idea, and even if magic was real there's no way a true love summoning spell would work for him...

"[A] superior thriller"—Publishers Weekly STARRED Review "J.P. Smith's latest thriller is an exquisite labyrinth of plot twists"—Traci Medford-Rosow, USA Today bestselling author When it comes to contacting the dead, it's easy to go a step too far Every year, as the anniversary of 9/11 inches closer on the calendar, Kit Capriol scans the memorials published in the New York Times. It's a simple thing to look up a name and phone number, to reach out to surviving family members who might still be yearning for connection with their lost loved one... to offer assistance. After her husband went down in the north tower, Kit scraped by as an actress, barely supporting herself and her daughter. But now Zoey is in the hospital, bills are due, and the acting work has dried up. Becoming a medium is almost too easy for someone used to pretending for a living—and desperate clients aren't hard to come by. Now, though, something has changed. The seances Kit holds in her apartment are starting to feel unsettlingly real, and the intriguing man she met at a local bar could be more complicated than he seems. As the voices of the dead grow louder in her head and the walls of her apartment close in, Kit realizes that despite her daughter's absence, she hasn't been quite as alone as she thought. "The Summoning is a suspenseful and gripping novel, one readers can count on to keep them reading into the late hours."—Mystery & Suspense Magazine

This is an exceptional memoir. Paula shares details of a life fully lived. As in each and every life, there are ups and downs.

As a young girl, Paula took ballet lessons. At her recital, a photo is taken of her in all of her glory. It is the only childhood picture of her by herself, without siblings. This picture epitomizes the “Inner Ballerina” of Paula, her inner beauty, poise, strength, and confidence. While we each do not have an Inner Ballerina, we do each find a way to cope when necessary. It is calling upon this inner self that allows Paula to cope with the many things she must face throughout her life. From a tragic fire, cancer of first herself then her husband, a serious illness of a child, to many other life experiences, Paula calls upon her Inner Ballerina. Paula writes with heart and with humour. I love this memoir and admire Paula for her strength and honesty.

In the game of love, summon the means to win. Jasper didn’t set out to fall in love with his best friend and professional gaming partner, Zach—hell, he never thought it an option. But when an accident took his wife’s life, leaving him a single parent, the two found comfort in each other. Happy again, he couldn’t have wanted more. Until the newbie spitfire redhead in their guild smoked them both in a duel, and subsequently agreed to join their team. Quick with her spells and even quicker with her words, she’s got a soft spot for his daughter, and a growing place in his heart, as well as Zach’s. Only problem? She won’t see them outside the game. Zach has been happy with his partner Jasper and his daughter, even though they came together under less-than-pleasant circumstances. But as happy as they are, he can’t deny his growing attraction to their guildmate and fellow teammate Shira. So when Jasper confides in him a desire to include her in their family, he’s on board. But how are they going to convince her of that, when they can’t even get her to meet them in person? And if they succeed, what will become of his relationship with Jasper? Shira has three rules: don’t date in person, don’t hook up with guildmates, and most certainly don’t believe an android can find love. After being fitted with life-saving cybernetics, she lost her modeling career, her dating life, and her confidence. She retreated inward, taking up a new gaming hobby due to new friends she made in the hospital. Pairing up with fellow guildmates Jasper and Zach for player vs. player activities, she slowly finds her confidence again and embraces this new life, doing her best to escape her past.
