It’s 1898 in New York City, and ghosts live among humans. Though most are harmless, some are capable of murder. . . .
After an unusual spirit takes up residence at the Roosevelt house, thirteen-year-old
Eleanor and her cousin Alice grow suspicious. The girls don’t get along, but they know
something is not right. This ghost is more than a pesky nuisance. It’s almost like he wants
to scare the Roosevelts out of their home–and no one seems to care.
Meanwhile, the girls discover a dangerous ghost in the house where Alice was born.
Is someone else haunting the family? Introverted Eleanor and boisterous Alice develop
an unlikely friendship as they explore their family’s dark, complicated history. It’s up to
them to unearth buried secrets and destroy both ghosts.
Told from dual perspectives, thrills and chills abound in Dianne K. Salerni’s imaginative
novel that puts a supernatural spin on alternate history.

Her mother has done her best to keep it that way, living far from the rest of the magical Carrefour clan and their legendary mansion known as Crossroad House.But when Garnet finally gets summoned to the estate, it isn’t quite what she hoped for. Her relatives are strange and quarrelsome, each room in Crossroad House is more dilapidated than the last, and she can’t keep straight which dusty hallways and cobwebbed corners are forbidden. And then she learns a terrifying secret: the dying Carrefour patriarch fights to retain his life by stealing power from the others. Every household accident that isn’t an accident, every unexpected illness and unexplained disappearance grants him a little more time. While the Carrefours squabble over who will inherit his role when (if) he dies, Garnet encounters evidence of an even deeper curse. Was she brought to Crossroad House as part of the curse … or is she meant to break it?

WHEN NEWLY ORPHANED JAX AUBREY awakes to a world without people the day after his thirteenth
birthday, he thinks it’s the apocalypse. But then the next day is a regular old Thursday. Has Jax gone crazy? What’s
going on?
Riley Pendare, Jax’s sort of clueless eighteen-year-old guardian, breaks the news: Jax just experienced the Eighth
Day, an extra twenty-four-hour period between Wednesday and Thursday. Some people, like Jax and Riley, have the
ability to live in all eight days. But others, like Evangeline, the teenage girl who’s been hiding in the house next door
for years, exist only on this special day.
At first it’s awesome to have a secret day. But as Jax gets to know the very guarded Evangeline, he discovers that
she is the sought-after key to an ancient spell rooted in Arthurian legend. And Riley–who forgets to pay bills and
buy groceries!–is sworn to keep her safe from those who want to use her to eliminate the seven-day world and all
who live there.
Jax tries to protect Evangeline, but with his new friend’s life on the line, as well as the threat of human destruction,
he is faced with an impossible choice: trigger a real apocalypse or sacrifice Evangeline.
WITH A WHOLE EXTRA DAY TO FIGURE THINGS OUT, IT COULDN’T BE TOO

AFTER AN ALL-OUT WAR WITH THE EVIL Kin lord in Mexico, Jax Aubrey is back in Pennsylvania
with his guardian, Riley, and liege lady, Evangeline. Although they’re in hiding, a man named Finn Ambrose
tracks them down, claiming to be Jax’s uncle and giving Jax hope that he actually has a family after all.
But Uncle Finn may have an ulterior motive. As it turns out, Jax’s great-aunt is the reigning leader
of the Dulacs, the enemy clan who assassinated Riley’s family. When the Dulacs kidnap Jax’s best friend,
Billy, to lure Jax to New York, it becomes clear that the Dulacs, family or not, will stop at nothing to get
what they want. Hoping to trade himself for Billy–while keeping Riley and Evangeline out of danger–Jax
goes to Manhattan on his own, where he meets Uncle Finn; his nearly identical twin cousin, Dorian; and
the rest of his supposed relatives.
There, he stumbles upon a maze of magic tunnels below his family’s apartment building. Uncle Finn
and the sinister Dulacs have been keeping secrets from him–and one of them might be the location of
Evangeline’s long-lost sister, Addie.
With the Eighth Day–and the entire Emrys bloodline–hanging in the balance, Jax struggles to
comprehend who he really is despite all that he knows.
An Ambrose? A Dulac? An Aubrey?
OR AN INQUISITOR WHO WILL STOP AT NOTHING TO KEEP HIS LIEGE SAFE?

Kin’s best chance to break the Eighth Day spell, which will unleash chaos upon the world. Riley and the Crandalls are trying to get her back, but it won’t be easy. As Evangeline’s liege–sworn to protect
her and her people–Jax won’t accept Addie’s fate hanging in the balance, so he puts it all on the line with a risky plan of his own.

part of the Kin’s power. But when Jax shows up, attempting to rescue her, the Kin pounce–making Addie realize that she’s been walking a fine line between control and utter oblivion.
And that’s not all. The Morrigan is on the loose, pushing both sides of this fight toward annihilation. The conflict is raging, but on which side will Addie stand? With the stakes higher than they’ve
ever been, Jax, Riley, and Evangeline must confront a terrible possibility: losing Addie to save the world.
