Book Description
Let me introduce myself. I am a soul that was lost most of her life. Being filled with all sorts of demon spirits, hatred, rebellion, and never stopping until I got even. Jehovah God showed me that I could get ahead. That there was something out there just for mesomething so wonderful and awesome that part of my assignment in life was to share my story in hopes that someone else may see themselves through my eyes. Now that I have time to look back at it all, I wonder about many things. Were they normal, intentional, my fault, or my destiny? I know that I could have made many different choices to the ones that I made, but even now I have to wonder, who does that? It took a long time for me to get over the death of my mother, and Im talking thirty-four long years. Thats about the only thing that I got out of rehab. Only went there one time. Could have and should have gone more, but I knew that would not help with the problem at hand. I liked to get high! There, I said it. Didnt shoot up or nothing, but if it could be smoked, well hey!

Book Description
MATT: When my employee propositions me, I'm taken aback. Yeah, she's gorgeous, exotic, and adventuresome, but besides the issue of me being her boss, she proposes something casual. Which is reason enough to give me pause, because I'm not a casual kind of guy. But long story short, we get together, it's great, and I'm crazy about her, which means I have a big problem. Seven of them, actually-that's how many brothers she has. And I don't know about you, but to me, that sounds like the recipe for an @$$ whooping. *Seven* super overprotective brothers means they aren't going to hesitate to beat me into a whimpering bag of meat for touching their little sister. Yippee. Is that enough to deter me from falling for her? Evidently not, and I guess it's because Inara is an alien, and there are a couple of pretty big galaxies separating me from her bad@$$ family, so I'm safe. Or so I pretend. Because it isn't the threat of her brothers that worries me. It's these damn inconvenient feelings that stubbornly refuse to quit growing. I care about Inara. A lot. And that's a problem, because as far as she's concerned, she still thinks she's just having a simple fling. Me? Here's the whole truth: I freaking love her. And she's going to break my heart when she goes back home without me... Unless I convince her to take me with her. ***The Alien's Little Sister is a laugh-out-loud 67K rom-com with a little sci-fi twist.

Book Description
A taut YA crime thriller from the author of The Body of Christopher Creed. “There’s no doubt Plum-Ucci can tell a heck of a story” (Booklist). A tiny pistol, passed from friend to friend at a party on an abandoned pier, suddenly fires—and Casey Carmody falls into the water below. Kurt, Casey’s older brother, endures a seemingly endless night at the police station while the coast guard searches for his sister and his friends are questioned, one by one. Was the gunfire accidental or deliberate? Or was the whole drama one of Casey’s practical jokes? And where is Casey—or her body—now? “The Night My Sister Went Missing has all the suspense and drama of a locked-room mystery . . . Carol Plum-Ucci, author of the award-winning The Body of Christopher Creed, has crafted an intricate mystery filled with shocking surprises and characters whom readers will remember for a long time.” —Teenreads “Plum-Ucci’s mastery at intensifying their observations into something dire and ominous speeds the plot along and should keep readers wondering just how this convoluted mystery will wrap up.” —Kirkus Reviews “All the members of this loosely connected community harbor secrets they do not want to be revealed. But in the end, someone’s secret comes to light with devastating consequences.” —Publishers Weekly “The mystery is engrossing and the dramatic ending satisfying.” —School Library Journal

Still haunted by their fraught relationship, Kenzi must now care for Claire’s brooding teenage daughter Ember, who believes the family's abandoned mansion hides sinister secrets.

With the help of handsome, relentless detective Graham Felton, Kenzi and Ember begin unraveling the family's hidden legacy and disturbing history of violence to uncover the chilling truth behind Claire's demise.
