The Sleeping Sisters<\/a><\/center>
A mother\u2019s love is the oldest curse <\/p>\n
Fortuna Mi\u00e9rcoles has finally moved her family to a better neighborhood across the Rio Grande, desperate to outrun the curse that\u2019s stalked her bloodline since her greatest grandmother crossed the desert with a cactus thorn splitting her throat. But burying a family\u2019s violent legacy\u2015or her own haunting secret\u2015isn\u2019t so easy. Twenty years ago, girls and women vanished into the Albuquerque night, their bones later unearthed on the mesa. The so-called Reaper was never caught. Now, beneath the dormant volcanoes called the Sleeping Sisters, the killings have begun again, and they\u2019ve called forth something in Fortuna that she has long fought to keep buried…<\/p>\n
Detective Jeanette Palacio has spent decades promising justice to the ghosts of her murdered cousins\u2015alongside the memory of the other women she couldn\u2019t avenge. When a new body turns up in Fortuna\u2019s backyard, both women are pulled into a dangerous, ancient plot. Are the Sleeping Sisters awakening\u2015or has someone in Fortuna\u2019s family set a trap?<\/p>\n

My Sister Is Going to Kill Me<\/a><\/center>
What’s a family vacation without a little murder?<\/p>\n
Liv and Mandy Chisholm\u2019s yearly sister trip is a sacred tradition, an attempt to bond as their lives increasingly diverge. Liv, the ever-practical older sister, packs the color-coded itineraries. Mandy, a bedazzled human tumbleweed, brings the spontaneity.<\/p>\n
This year, the sisters take off for a rafting adventure through the breathtaking depths of the Grand Canyon with a group of strangers. But beyond the terrors of whitewater rapids, sibling squabbles, and rogue reptiles, the ferocious beauty of the river carries a darker undercurrent, and an unexpected guest: a murderer in their midst.<\/p>\n
When a fellow traveler is found dead and another corpse hits the water, the rafting trip flips from idyllic sister vacation to high-stakes murder investigation. Every suspect has a secret, every clue is drenched in mystery, and Liv and Mandy can hardly trust each other, let alone their own instincts. With the river raging and danger around every bend, the Chisholm sisters must work together to catch a killer\u2014and keep their relationship from capsizing\u2014before it\u2019s too late.<\/p>\n

But with Addy’s whirlwind engagement, Thea is determined to be the perfect maid of honor, even if she finds it odd that she hadn’t heard of the fianc\u00e9 until the ring was on Addy’s finger. She believes she can survive a week in the Blue Ridge Mountains with a group of strangers without causing any trouble.<\/p>\n
But upon arrival, Thea realizes these aren’t strangers. Among the familiar faces is Owen Hayes\u2015the man who, three years ago, paid her to pretend to be his girlfriend at a family wedding. Now, he’s looking at her with the same panicked expression.<\/p>\n
Owen’s life has always been about control\u2015managing his mother’s matchmaking schemes, his family’s expectations, and the career path he never truly chose. Thea was his one rebellion, a beautiful lie that ended with a “heart-destroying” fake breakup. Now, with his younger brother’s wedding underway and his mother on the prowl, Owen begs Thea to reprise their roles. One week. Same fake breakup. No feelings.<\/p>\n
But as old sparks reignite and the lines between pretense and reality blur, Thea and Owen will have to choose: carry on their greatest performance yet or admit the truth\u2015that it was never fake at all.<\/p>\n

The Calamities<\/a><\/center>
Mourning Mayne knows he\u2019ll one day bear the duty of managing his family\u2019s vast empire of wealth and power. But the feckless Mourning has always struggled to accept this legacy of cruelty, domination, and exploitation . . . and something even darker.<\/p>\n
Because the Maynes are no ordinary family: Hidden in our world are the fiends\u2014half-human, half-demon, and possessed of a dark magic born from buying human souls\u2014and the Maynes are one of the oldest and most influential fiendish families.<\/p>\n
But when Mourning\u2019s estranged father, the formidable and terrifying Hadrian Mayne, demands that Mourning return to the fold, he has to decide whether to accept his legacy and embrace his role in the family or to forge his own destiny, and with it, change the course of the world.<\/p>\n
Because along the way home, he will meet Key, a black-market seller of human souls, and Quinn, an artist who may hold the dark truth behind the fate of the fiends. Alone, they have all struggled with the darkness of their natures . . . but together, they might find a path out of the shadows.<\/p>\n
