Missing: A Suspense-Filled Mystery for Young Readers by Makenzie R. Casseday

When everything she knows is ripped away…

After coming to terms with the loss of her mother at a young age, Lola’s biggest struggle has been keeping the peace with a stepmother who doesn’t seem to get Lola for who she really is. Thankfully, Lola has her sister Bonnie (who she sometimes gets along with — that’s normal, right?), her best friend Sophia, and her doting father to support her while her love of the outdoors, flowers, and stars tend to ease her through.

Overall, Lola is a pretty ordinary girl living a fairly ordinary life, even with the occasional annoyance of being told to do something she doesn’t want to do. She goes to school. She does her chores. She does all the things that a normal kid her age would do, until everything is turned upside down! What does a girl do when everything she knows is ripped away? The people she counts on, the safety of her home, the truth that she’s always known, all suddenly torn from her grasp!

Makenzie R. Casseday’s debut novel is a suspense-filled adventure of loss and discovery for young readers. Robbery, abduction, lies, and even murder ensue as Lola sorts through the mystery of whom she can trust, makes peace with the truth of her past, and decides to move forward focusing on what is available to her now.

City of Sound and Light

About City of Sound and Light:

Tera knows a secret…

Someone is going to die on election day. But that’s not what worries her.

She learned the secret from a dying spark, one of the fairy-like companions people in her world use to communicate, and she found the spark in her father’s office.

A radical leader is on the rise, and the old factions are determined to stop him at any cost. If anyone finds out her father’s involved, it might be the end of him. If anyone finds out what she knows, it might be the end of her.

The only way to keep her city, her family, and her life from ripping apart is to follow the spark deeper into this deadly game of politics that no one can know she’s playing.

Her only advantage is her obscurity. She has no following. No one listens to her or even knows her name. But that’s about to change.

“A black girl magic fantasy, perfect for the age of Beyonce.”

After years of traveling the world, black identical twins Aurora and Arden think they’ve settled into normalcy in Ohio. But days before their eighteenth birthday, the snarky twins develop powers in telekinesis and telepathy―at the same time that their famous mother, who’s on tour in London, disappears.
Searching for answers and determined to rescue her, the sisters unearth truths that threaten to extinguish their bond and demolish their strength as individuals. Can they trust their beguiling, newly discovered British cousins when they barely trust one another? Should they heed the warnings of their immortal grandmother, a Patoi-chatting goddess, who says she’s friendly with The Fates and can see inside a person’s very soul?
In order to succeed in their quest, these goddess twins must work together, master their powers, and unveil a horrifying, century-old family mystery. Otherwise, they may not live to see eighteen―or their mother again.

The Warren family has always had its share of secrets. But when a perfectly formed human-spider hybrid is born to a scion of the bloodline, the newborn seems poised to turn science and society on their heads.

But she doesn’t.

An army of yellow-coated mercenaries, the death cult of an eldritch spider god, and the magic secrets of Mark’s blood—all things are connected in a web of lies, love, and mystery. What are the spider children? And can they unravel the mystery of their origins before it destroys them?

Now, the only country he’s ever known has a plan to tear his life to pieces without giving him a fighting chance.

While a few Nazi wannabes try to make life miserable for him and his family, Lud finds romance in the Texas heat only for it to be scorched by the government.
When the war ends, Lud has changed, but the government’s wishes for him have not.
American Brush-Off is based upon the internment of thousands of legal German aliens and German-Americans during World War II.

Dorothy in the Land of Monsters by Garten Gevedon

About Dorothy in the Land of Monsters by Garten Gevedon:

Shifters, Zombies, and Vampires? Oh my!

My name is Dorothy Gale, and I think I might be dead.

When my dog Toto and I got swept up in a twister, we landed in hell. A very colorful hell. Like a rainbow dripping in blood. Now it looks as though this dreadful underworld plagued with vampires, zombies, and shifters will be the site of my eternal damnation.

They say this terrifying land called Oz isn’t hell or purgatory and escape is possible, but first I must survive the journey down the blood-soaked yellow brick road to the only place in Oz where vampires dare not tread—The City of Emeralds.

With enchanted footwear and the help of my three new friends—a friendly zombie, a massive shifter lion, and a heartless axe murderer of evil night creatures (who also happens to be the hottest guy I’ve ever seen)—Toto and I have a chance to make it to the Vampire Free Zone. When we get there, I must convince the most powerful wizard in this magical land of monsters to send us out of this radiant nightmare and back to the world of the living. They say he’s just as frightening as this monstrous land, that he detests visitors, and even the most horrifying creatures cower in his presence. But I must seek him out. And when I find him, I’ll do whatever it takes to make him send me home.
