The last thing Ruby Tabeata expected on her way to a Jack Kerouac reading was to be hauled to the police station. Just a few weeks shy of her twelfth birthday in 1958, Ruby lives in Greenwich Village and dreams of meeting famous poets while writing her own poetry. Instead, she is accused of trying to steal fruit from a local vendor and forced to go into a children’s home. Her only choice is to follow her heart—and find the one thing she needs with the power to help her heal.
Zillo was the most incompetent wizard who had ever lived. This would have been excusable were it not for his tendency to craft magical items that not only did ridiculous and often dangerous things, but were also - unlike Zillo himself - indestructible. The consequences of this ability were...disturbing.
She moves from home to home with her disowned mother, Beth, in an attempt to escape the tragedies that follow. Within each house that Rose finally finds escape within, destruction follows the path beneath the monster running through her veins.

Rose didn't have a clue of the world among her, only some of the town's gang members knew of the power surging through her. Many have internally questioned the mystery that controls her, yet none tend to speak out into the open about their questioning thoughts.
She has the power every child's super hero could dream of, one the fates have given her in order to survive. Their is no name to the power controlling Rose, no description as to how to stabilize the monster.
"I don't know what I am anymore."

During Chinese New Year, Rick Deacon got a peculiar email from a presumed Buddhist monk requesting supernatural help from the Holy Seven. Unfortunately most of the Seven (who are actually eight chosen individuals destined to combat supernatural trouble) are in the middle of college and not all of them can come. Bringing along Tom Brown and Bai Nian Chen, Rick must lead them through Jiangsu Provenance to the famed Huaguo Shan—the birthplace of the Monkey King—and find out the real reason they were summoned to China. And it is worse than even he could imagine.
"Sometimes, pretending that you don't know is what is best; it lets you breathe easier. But when ignorance becomes your best friend, it can become hard to decide what is real, and what is fabricated from ignorance itself."
Danica Nyxe is not human. She isn't a vampire or a werewolf, no. She is an angel. She was created by Zeus to bring peace back to an earth at war. Her hair, a cascade of gold; her eyes, colored that of a raging storm cloud. Her body sculpted to perfection by Prometheus, himself. Her purpose was clear: end the wars on earth and return to the heavens to remain forever. Easy. Simple...or so she thinks.
While on earth, Danica comes across Evan Monroe. Evan is different from the others. He is quiet and reserved with a pure heart and Danica finds herself more and more involved with him, and the closer she gets, the closer they get to love.
But Danica wasn't created to love. She was created to fulfill a job and that was it. Done and done. But now she is faced with two choices: return to heaven and remain there; forever immortal, or Evan, the boy that she is completely and irrevocably in love with.
