Excerpt 1 – Enter the Night SETUP: The girls, in Caster form, are paying a visit to the Walker farm on their first day back after Christmas break. Hovering in mid-air, they are peering in the window of the shed at Bryce Walker, grandson of legendary Heller hunter Ira Walker, which makes him absolutely the last guy Maryanne should be crushing on. “Oh, God! You’ve got the hots for Bryce Walker!” Brooke accused. “What?” The frown was clear in Alex’s voice. “No way!” “Haven’t we all had enough trouble from the Walkers?” Brooke’s voice rose again. “All those damn Walkers!” Maryanne didn’t miss that—we all. They all. Legends and hunters. They all had legacies. Nor did she answer. She kept staring in through the window, her eyes riveted on Bryce. “What’s he doing?” Alex asked, her curiosity apparently trumping her anxiety, at least for the moment. “I don’t know.” Maryanne… Read more »

EXCERPT “Okay,” Ava said. “Now what?” Caleb pulled out his phone, tapping away on it. “Wait a second,” Ava said, stilling his hand. “Is it safe to use a cell phone? Can’t it be traced?” Caleb shook his head. “Not this one.” He glanced up at her. “Do you have one?” Ava pulled her phone out of her backpack, and Caleb cursed under his breath. “It’s not on,” she said. “It doesn’t matter.” He grabbed the phone. “I could take out the battery, but they’d still know this was our last location.” Caleb thought for a moment then grabbed Ava’s hand, turning to walk quickly down the block. “Where are we going?” she asked.

They walked into the small bus station, coming to a stop in front of the departures board. “Wait here,” he said after a moment, glancing around the… Read more »

If you would tell us your thoughts, Raffi?” What few coherent thoughts I had at that moment were mainly about the view down Michaela’s top, but I didn’t think that was the sort of male perspective Ms. Wormwood meant. Dragging myself back into the everyday world, I tried to remember what the teacher had been wittering on about. Something about the summer reading assignment? What was the summer reading assignment? I hadn’t even read the back cover when I’d thrown it in my bag this morning. I glanced down now in search of inspiration, and discovered I’d taken out my Biology textbook. No… Read more »
