Prey on the old and you're a coward. Prey on the young and you're pathetic. Prey on the weak and you're even weaker. Prey on my friends...and you're history.

Seventeen-year-old Gaia Moore is genetically enhanced to be fearless. Since moving to New York, she has befriended Mary, a lesbian whose lifestyle Gaia defends. But by doing so, everyone assumes she and Mary are an item, including Mary's brother's friend Sam. Gaia must show him how she truly feels.

What do you do after you’ve saved the world and nobody believes you? Amber is a teenage runaway, hiding out in Los Angeles, who is also a daughter of the wolf kind. And, not long ago, she had her own personal demon. Richard was her servant, her lover, and a hellish force bound to the Earth against his will. Together they turned back the World Snake that threatened to destroy the city and she had granted Richard his freedom. Now Amber is alone, but nobody accepts that she has truly shed her demon.

Tani’s world has never been peaceful. Torn between the many cultures that meet on the Chorhan Expanse, the greatest threat they now face is an expansionist army of monstrous nonhumans who call themselves the mansthein.

Seventeen-year-old Gaia Moore is genetically enhanced not to feel fear. Her mother is dead and her father - a secret agent - abandoned her years ago. But before he did, he taught her self-preservation because he knew one day things would get dangerous for Gaia.

They say that old habits die hard. I have to agree. Just look at my father. He still hasn't kicked the habit of abandoning me. But that's all right. Because if he can run...so can I.

Bela, the reluctant hero, journeys into the inhospitable Sea of Ice in search of the ancient portal that broke the world. Shae, the ship-less Bone Pirate, stands with a Windborn exile before an arms of remorseless metal beings. And Alira, the huntress, faces the revelation of what the Bloodborn are, and the truth of their horrible magicks. In desperation, in determination, and in hope, every step they take reveals new secrets about their past - and new fears for their future.

Devastated by her father's absence, Gaia is offered a home by the mother of Mary Moss, who suggests to Gaia that she live in Mary's old room. Gaia accepts, and suddenly finds herself in a family desperate to fill a void. Meanwhile, Tom is on assignment in Germany, and learns of a terrorist plot to kidnap Gaia and use her DNA for some hidden purpose.

Finally sure of her feelings for Ed, Gaia is devastated after an attempt is made on his life, especially since she cannot seem to go back to her formerly fearless state, prompting her to isolate herself from him and her other friends.

Gaia returns to New York. She's living with her father, she's with Sam, and she's even hanging out with Ed again. But Ed has a secret - one that's tearing him apart. Meanwhile, an imprisoned Loki receives word that Gaia is back in the States. Overwhelmed with rage, he vows to escape and exact revenge on Tom - and take Gaia back forever.

Gaia is shocked to learn "Loki" is her uncle, not her father. Now, with Loki captured and back in New York, Gaia and her father can hold the reunion of their dreams - and Gaia finally learns the truth of her mother's murder and her father's disappearance. Gaia wants to return to New York, but can it be possible for Gaia and her friends to live normal lives now?

I thought I loved Sam.He betrayed me. Now he's gone. I thought I loved my uncle. He doesn't know what love is. He only wants to use me. Who's left?

Trust. It's not really my thing. I can count the people I trust on one hand. On one finger, in fact. So what happens if that one person betrays me?

I finally have Sam. I finally have a family. I finally have a way out. What's so bad about that?

Gaia Moore is genetically incapable of feeling fear. In this story, Ella remains obsessed with the notion of wiping Gaia off the face of the earth and hires a hit-man to finish off the job.

People like me don't have friends. So if Heather wants Ed, she can have him. I don't care. Really.

My uncle and my father. I used to be able to tell them apart. Not anymore. Because they're both the same. They both want to destroy me....

All over the country, a strange phenomenon is happening. Some teenagers who die aren't staying dead. They are coming back to life, but they are no longer the same - they stutter, and their reactions to everything are slower. Termed "living impaired" or "differently biotic," they are doing their best to fit into a society that doesn't want them. Fitting in is hard enough when you don't have the look or attitude, but when almost everyone else is alive and you're not, it's close to impossible.

Fourteen-year-old Tom Röschenberg has inherited a ghost train and its members of the undead are very lively! And it's a suspenseful time for our young Ghostsitter: Vlarad the vampire has consumed too much hamster blood and has now turned into one, and Wombie the Zombie's hundredth deathday is coming right up. But the ritual for celebrating Wombie's deathday is no easy task: It requires a voodoo dagger, a magic ring, and an enchanted cauldron, and if Tom and his undead friends don't perform the ritual in time, Wombie will turn to dust.
