Book Description
During her first week at coed Quaker prep Foxhall School, sassy Susannah Greenwood, one of two girls who've entered as sophomores, gets pulled into the cool girls' clique. While the school is instructing her in the moral and ethical tenets of the Quaker faith, the cool girls allow her to enter their world beyond the rule book—but in trying to find a balance between idealistic faith and the reality of a competitive system, Susannah runs afoul of the school's most authoritarian dean and befriends the only other new sophomore, a brainy, socially inept outcast. Then her new friend runs away after being shamed by the dean, and Susannah finds herself caught between the two forces of loyalty and authority: Should she cooperate with the unforgiving, and now vulnerable, dean, who, with her job on the line, is pleading for information from her about her runaway friend? Or should she keep the secret she's sworn to protect?

Book Description
Mortuary cosmetologist Callie Parrish is thrilled to pack up her banjo and take off with her best friend Jane for a bluegrass festival on Surcie Island. A whole weekend of her favorite kind of music, Gullah food, and fun in the sun is just what Callie needs to erase the memory of being locked in a casket last fall. Somehow, she just can’t seem to leave her work behind her. Little Fiddlin’ Fred might be tiny in stature, but he’s huge in the bluegrass world. When his dead body tumbles out of a bass case on stage, the festival erupts in chaos. Local cops advise Callie not to get involved, but when Jane discovers a second corpse—and then disappears—Callie has no choice. Her sleuthing leads her to a widow too busy flirting to mourn, a fiddler too eager to fill in, and a water witch convinced he can find whatever treasures might be hiding under the sand, but she’ll also learn that on an island, you tend to keep going in circles.

Book Description
Summers are supposed to be fun, right? Not mine. I’ve got a job at my dad’s company, which is sponsoring a college scholarship competition. I just found out that, in addition to my job assisting the competing interns, I’m supposed to vote for the winner. Totally not what I signed up for. My boss is running the competition like it’s an episode of Survivor. Then there’s Carlos, who is, well, very distracting––in a good way. But I can’t even think about him like that because fraternizing on the job means instant disqualification for the intern involved. As if that’s not enough, an anonymous informant with insider intel is trying to sabotage my dad’s company on social media...and I’m afraid it's working. Much as I’d love to quit, I can’t. Kristoffs Never Quit is our family motto. I just hope there’s more than one survivor by the end of this summer.
