If there's supposed to be an adjustment period for becoming a powerful vampire, Hailey totally missed it. There's no time to waste when she suddenly finds herself with another new set of supernatural skills to master. She thought she had seen it all. Little did she know that this newfound connection would bring about a series of extraordinary events. Wasn't immortality supposed to have some perks? Or at the very least no hard deadlines? Oh, well. At least while she's rushing to perfect all of her powers, Hailey is too busy to think about the calamity that awaits her at home. But seriously, how can she and Jax avoid hosting houseguests who hate each other? It may not be possible. Just as Hailey and Jax begin to acclimate to their new identities, the Mother of All craves a taste of the "human experience." Sound vague? Spoilers, baby. With Twin Terrors Allison and Avery still around, life as a vampire is complicated enough. Who needs more drama?

Blazingly intelligent, wickedly funny, and piercingly honest, a memoir that captures the perils and pleasures of girlhood, womanhood, and life itself. “One of my favorite books of the last few years.” —Cheryl Strayed “Sentence for sentence, a more pleasure-yielding midlife memoir is hard to think of.” —The Atlantic At mid-life, Claire Dederer developed a sudden yearning for jailbreak. In this exuberant memoir, she reflects on two periods in her life uncannily similar in their emotional intensity: her present experience as a middle-aged mom in the grip of unruly and mysterious new hungers, and her recollections of herself as a teenager.

Two sisters. One disaster. First things first: I'm the bad twin. While my sister, Marcia, has the perfect family in the perfect suburb, I've been making my living as an Internet advice columnist and designing Web sites in my downtown loft. I always thought I had the right answer—and hair color—for any occasion. That is, until Marcia ran up loads of debt and ran out on her husband and kids, and I was left helping to pick up the pieces. Her husband, James, is a lawyer who I hate on principle alone. But for a guy who's just lost his job, his marriage, and his expensive toys, he's keeping it togetherÑand making me rethink my feelings toward him. It's not that he's traded in his conservative suits for sexy jeans. It's that he's not giving up what's important to him, and oh baby, I'm a sucker for a guy who hangs tough. That doesn't mean I'm ready to step into Marcia's designer shoes now that she's gone A.W.O.L. And it doesn't mean that I'm going to fall for James' easy charmÉnot again, anyhow. Besides, I've had a lifelong policy of not being mistaken for my twin and I'm not backing down on that one nowÑno matter how convenient it might be for a certain sexy (and persuasive) man...

Bond Girl Head Honcho, Queen Vampire Councilwoman, and now Dragon-Mama Extraordinaire, Hailey Whitfield is exhausted. Having a newborn baby dragon is far more than she bargained for. Little Flint is settling in just fine, though. The little dragon loves anything shiny. Rather like a ferret, except the little booger can fly. They can’t hide anything from him. And he never sleeps. It would help if he’d listen to anyone other than Hailey, but Flint is a one-woman dragon. When Goldie is ready to go to her first day of classes at the new Rune Academy for the supernatural, she wants to wear the brand new bracelet Luke and Ransom bought her. It’s missing, but that’s okay. Hailey knows just where to look for it—in Flint’s hoard. They get Goldie off to school only to have their most shocking news yet. Rogue vampires? Easy. New species of werewolf? Piece of cake. What’s too hard for kick-butt Hailey to handle? Her all-too-human family is on their way for a surprise visit. Everybody hide your fangs! The Whitfield’s looming appearance isn’t the only panic-inducing visit they have to deal with while Goldie is off to her classes. Guess who is back for round two? Only the mother of all vampires, and she’s bringing a mother of a revelation… Now to get to the bottom of the whole dragon thing. As soon as Mommy and Daddy go back home.
