Step into your witchy power or be swallowed by the curse- the choice is yours.A queer, feminist spin on Stephen King's The Mist, this ode to female-rage is a perfect pick for fans of She Is a Haunting, and a reminder that if "boys will be boys", girls will fight back. For high school senior Nell and her friends, a vacation house on a private Florida island sounds like the makings of a dream spring break. But Nell brings secrets with her--secrets that fuse with the island's tragic history, trapping them all with a curse that surrounds the island in a toxic, vengeful mist and the surrounding waters with an unseen, devouring beast. Getting out alive means risking her friendships, her sanity, and even her own life. In order to save herself and her friends, Nell will have to face memories she'd rather leave behind, reveal the horrific truth behind the encounter that changed her life one year ago, and face the shadow that's haunted her since childhood. Easier said than done. But when Nell's friends reveal that they each brought secrets of their own, a solution even more dangerous than the curse begins to take shape. Reading like a YA feminist spin on Stephen King's The Mist, So Witches We Became is a diverse, queer horror about female friendship, the emotional aftermath of surviving assault, and how to find power in the shadows of your past.

As soon as she saw the house, with geometrically trimmed shrubs at the entrance and a white fence surrounding it, she decided it would be hers.

And that was the exact thing that entice her. It would be the perfect refuge now that she intended to retire from her profession. Fortunately, it wouldn't take long to hit the market. Especially after that night.The end was always unavoidable.

What would you do if you were lost in an alien land full of danger, lies, stupidity, duplicity, insanely clever traps, ravenous apex-predators and, to top it all off, the legendarily sarcastic child-eating, mushroom-scoffing, poetry-reciting ogre called Borborygm (the scariest monster ever invented in literature) ... and then you find everything in this land wants to eat you too? You'd try and find a way to get back home, right? This is exactly the situation that Mooney and Spacee have found themselves in. There's just one hope: Steal the Tree o' Wishes. It's all very simple really. Except Borborygm has it. 'I devoured War and Peace but this is so much better. Shorter too.'

Twelve-year-old Gus Greenburg can see ghosts; in fact, he uses this paranormal superpower to help them "go on." But when Gus and his mom move into an old mansion on the mysterious and remote Nameless Island, he meets a ghost that's set out to hurt him. Bestselling author Carly Anne West weaves a spooky and thrilling series opener in this spine-tingling tale about mystery, family, and all things paranormal. After his dad goes missing and his mom is hired to restore an old building called the Rotham Manor, twelve-year-old Gus Greenburg and his mom move to a quaint, secluded island called Nameless. Gus was hoping for a new start on the island (despite throwing up on the boat ride there . . . twice), but a mysterious ghost has another idea. Throw in a mean kid who hides rats in the manor, two new friends, an eclectic island chef who's competing to be on a reality TV show, and Gus's power to talk to the dead . . . well, that's a lot of chaos for one kid! Gus needs to find out the identity of the mysterious ghost - and fast - or else he might be doomed to the same lethal fate. That is, if the island's signature "Heavenly Hash" dish doesn't get to him first. The Ghosts of Nameless Island is the first book in a new trilogy from bestselling author Carly Anne West.
