A Dark And Starless Forest
Author(s):
Description:
"Derry and her eight siblings live in an isolated house by the lake, separated from the rest of the world by an eerie and menacing forest. They know it's for their own good. After all, the world isn't safe for people with magic. And Derry feels safe--most of the time. Until the night her eldest sister disappears. When a second sibling goes missing, feeling safe is no longer an option. Derry will risk anything to protect the family she has left. Even if that means returning to the forest that has started calling to Derry in her missing siblings' voices. As Derry spends more time amidst the trees, her magic grows more powerful . . . and so does the darkness inside her, the viciousness she wants to pretend doesn't exist. But saving her siblings from the forest might mean embracing the darkness. And that just might be the most dangerous thing of all."--Dust jacket flap.

Eat Your Heart Out

Vivian Ellenshaw is none too happy to find herself forced into a weight-loss camp's van with her ex-best friend, Allie, a meathead jock who can barely drive, and the camp owner's snobby son. When they arrive at Camp Featherlite at the start of the worst blizzard in the history of Flagstaff, Arizona, it's clear that something isn't right. A camper goes missing down by the lake, and something not human is spotted out in the snow. The camp's supposed "miracle cure" for obesity just seems fishy, and Vee and her fellow campers know they don't need to be cured of anything. When Camp Featherlite's bungalows are overrun with zombies, what starts out as a mission to unravel the camp's secrets turns into a desperate fight for survival-- and not all of the Featherlite campers will make it out alive. -- adapted from jacket
