Wraith



Freak. Weird. Crazy. These are the names tossed around seventeen-year old Jane Watts by her fellow classmates. But things aren’t always as they seem. Sometimes there’s a reason for talking to yourself in the hallway at school. 

Jane struggles with adjusting to her new home and school after an abrupt move. She wants one thing in life—to be like everyone else at school, but that’s hard to do when you’re the new kid. But she does manage to make one friend, Evan—he’s sixteen, charming, and protective. Everything a girl could want in a best friend…with one minor caveat. 

He's dead.

Caught somewhere between life and death, Evan is tied to Jane and the living world unable to complete the journey to the other side. She thinks he’s here to be her friend, to take care of her, and that’s why no one can see or hear him.

That is until a new boy shows up at school after a rumored stretch in Juvie. Connor can see Evan and he’s not convinced the ghost is being completely honest. From his own experience ghosts tend to need something from the humans they connect to and Evan, despite his arguments isn’t any different.

Jane is resentful of Connor’s intrusion but realizes soon enough he’s right. Evan has secrets about his past and not only did his life end tragically but members of his family are still in danger. Jane must face her fears and battle Evan’s human demons to free both of them.

The Golden Book

The Golden Book, by Cameron McFadden, free



Trevor Thomas wants to be a fantasy hero... and it's easy to see why.
Trevor's parents died when he was young, so he's been forced to live with his closest relatives. He doesn't fit in at school, either, and he certainly can't talk to girls-especially not with Mariah Murphy, his next-door neighbor.
Instead, Trevor spends most of his time locked inside his redwood wardrobe, reading fantasy books. So when he stumbles upon a mysterious golden book, Trevor figures it'll be a good way to spend his weekend. Only, this book's peculiar-besides being blank after page thirty, it's got a riddle.
A riddle written in blood.
And when something awful happens to Mariah Murphy, Trevor has no choice but to use his knowledge of fantasy books to solve the riddle.
But when he does, Trevor's own fantasy turns to a nightmare, as he realizes the golden book might not be fiction after all.
Trevor has spent his whole life wishing he could be a hero... now he will finally get his chance.

He's spent his whole life wishing he could be a hero; so when he stumbles into the magical land of Dragonshold, you'd think it'd be a dream come true.  After all, this is a place Trevor could only read about-a world of endless adventure, of dragons and elves, magic spells and rune crystals.
But even the most wonderful dreams can turn to nightmares.  Trevor still hasn't found Mariah Murphy, the girl of his dreams, and now three hideous monsters are tracking him down... and won't stop until he's dead.  And when his friends are forced to abandon him, Trevor has no choice but to journey to The City of Ancients in search of answers.
Yet some questions are best left unanswered, as Trevor soon discovers what it truly means to be a hero. 
Now, his greatest adventure becomes a desperate struggle... one that will finally bring him back home.
