Marissa Meyer’s Cinder meets Netflix’s Black Mirror in a high-tech future where a teen gets the cybernetic arm she never wanted.

Lena hates her parents’ tech company. The world worships each cutting-edge CyberCorp release, but Lena has her doubts. Machines that think for themselves? She doesn’t trust them… So when a car accident lands her with the company’s first cybernetic arm, she’s pissed.

Is control of her own life too much to ask? Now, the arm’s artificial intelligence makes her sleepwalk. Then children of CyberCorp employees start dying in their beds, and thanks to her unwanted nighttime strolls, Lena has no alibi.

Is she the killer, or does someone else hate her parents’ inventions more than she does?

★Girl of Flesh and Metal made the American Library Association’s 2021 LITA Excellence in Children’s and Young Adult Science Fiction Notable Lists.★

When Heaven becomes the door to Hell, the only one you can turn to is the Devil.

My father is the self-proclaimed God.
I guess that makes me the Devil.

For hundreds of years my family has hijacked the souls of believers from your world to reincarnate them in my dimension, where they face endless torture in abject slavery.
And that’s just the ones who were promised Heaven.

The worst thing is they’re helped by your own people. A syndicate of high placed humans, your leaders, sell you out for a cozy second life in our world once they pass over.
I’m committed to bring them down. To expose the biggest scam in human history and to defeat my megalomaniac father.

Helped by a disillusioned priest with violent tendencies and a computer wizard who is much, much more, I am taking on the most powerful organisation known to mankind.

Oh yeah, and my family.

The Devil You Know was a finalist in the PageTurner Screenplay-book adaptation awards. It is the first book in a brand new series by USAT best selling Urban Fantasy author Monique Singleton

Massive guns, giant alien monsters, and big egos. What could possibly go wrong?

Tommy is just another guy working for a hedge fund, when the richest person in history invites him and his boss on an alien safari. Sounds great, rubbing elbows with elite playboys and oodles of hotties in outer space, right? But everything goes completely fubar in a hurry. Turns out, a group of alien ninjas already lives on the planet — yeah, you read that right — alien ninjas! And they love to hunt. Now Tommy must choose between crying to his mommy and maybe getting an alien sword in his gut, or manning up to save those he’s come to care about.

If you like Tropic Thunder, Alien, Predator, or even Alien vs Predator (which we won’t hold against you), you’ll love this action-packed sci-fi adventure!

I’m Apiya. No, I’m not a badass magical assassin. I’m a barber to the supernatural.

My magic is very weak and very niche—it works best with keeping things clean.
I know. I can sense your awe at my power already. And I’m sure you can see why barbering suits me well.

Although now that I’ve mastered the art of trimming a weretiger’s regrowth, my biggest challenge is fielding the insults of the shop’s cat. Sometimes I wish I had enough magic to go deeper into the city’s magical underbelly.

You know what they say—be careful what you wish for.

Everything changes when a pair of forest fae come into the shop one night, asking for help to protect their youngling. Something’s got them properly spooked, but they won’t say what.

If it’s big and bad enough to scare the fae, it’s most definitely powerful enough to make a mouthful of me—probably a small mouthful, at that. And now that the fae have come to me, whatever’s after them is also after me.

My weak magic and a sarcastic cat for backup are unlikely to be enough to keep me alive and save the fae youngling. How the hell am I going to get out of this mess?

Grab Touched by Magic to see if I make it. Oh, and don’t get offended if the cat insults you…
