Shantallow
When Misha sees the girl from his recent nightmares-a girl he's never set eyes on while awake-in a neighbour's front lawn he can't believe his eyes. The two tumble into an intense but ultimately toxic relationship. Months after it's over, Misha still can't entirely let go. Driving past Tanvi's house he witnesses a kidnapping in progress-hers. When he attempts to intervene he's beaten, bound, and thrown into a van with Tanvi, her ten-year-old cousin Lauren, and another teenager. The four are driven to a decaying, remote house, and told no one will be hurt if they cooperate. But soon the entire group is under siege from something far more sinister than the captors themselves. As the house grows more hostile and the supernatural violence escalates, the fate of the kidnappers and hostages entwine. Misha must not only fight for his life, but come to terms with the things he's done and the long shadow his father's abuse has cast over his life.
A Misfortune of Lake Monsters
When legends bite back. Lemon Ziegler wants to escape rural Devil's Elbow, Pennsylvania to attend college--but that's impossible now that she's expected to impersonate the town's lake monster for the rest of her life. Her family has been secretly keeping the tradition of Old Lucy, the famed (and very fake) monster of Lake Lokakoma, alive for generations, all to keep the tourists coming. Without Lemon, the town dies, and she can't disappoint her grandparents . . . or tell her best friends about any of it. That includes Troy Ramirez, who has been covertly in love with Lemon for years, afraid to ruin their friendship by confessing his feelings. When a very real, and very hungry monster is discovered in the lake, secrets must fall by the wayside. Determined to stop the monster, Lemon and her best friends are the only thing standing between Devil's Elbow and the monster out for blood.
