What do you do when skeletons in the family closet come out to play?
Imogene Lynch, assistant to the head embalmer of Greener Pastures Mortuary, has always longed for family, but her newfound cousin, Chelsea, is a big disappointment. Not only are they complete opposites, but Chelsea needs help with the kind of problem Imogene does her best to avoid-murder. And this one seems impossible to solve since Chelsea doesn't know who the victim is.
Cursing her big heart and well-developed sense of guilt, Imogene plunges into a mystery more twisted than she could have imagined. Cryptic clues, as confusing as the ghosts who leave them, entangle the cousins, and dark family secrets begin to unravel. Imogene discovers she and Chelsea may have more in common than she'd thought. And that's not a good thing.
The Lynches have baggage of a supernatural kind. Can Chelsea and Imogene work as a team, solve the crime, and lay the spirits of the past to rest, or will their mismatched psychic abilities lead them into danger?
If you can imagine Agatha Raisin as a twenty-something, rockabilly, ex-hairstylist with a weird connection to the dead, this book is for you.
Men are confusing, alive, or dead.
Imogene Lynch, assistant to the head embalmer at Greener Pastures Mortuary, feels the final sensations of the deceased when she touches their hair. So, why did she get a hit from a 200-year-old skull?
When an earthquake reveals a long-hidden tomb under the historic San Juan Capistrano Mission, El-Greener Pastures' hunky night watchman-moonlights to guard the discovery. He and Imogene have recently declared their love for one another. What better place to grab some alone time than among the skulls and crossbones of the dead?
However, when Imogene stumbles into a mound of bones and dislodges a skull, she's plagued by an itching attack that not only ruins their romantic moment but follows her home.Which means the cranium's owner must have been murdered.
The only way to get rid of the disgruntled spirit is to reveal his killer. But how do you solve a crime that happened centuries ago?
The questions come fast and furious: Has she discovered a new and unwanted ability? What do zombie cults have to do with Baldy and the other bones in the tomb? And, most importantly, will she ever be alone with El again?
Nothing says romance like his and hers caskets.
Imogene Lynch has decorated the chapel for Greener Pastures' first wedding-funeral, but on the morning of the big event, one casket is empty. Has the bride gotten cold feet? Or has someone absconded with her?
The spirits aren't talking, but they are making Imogene's life a misery. When the police suspect the mortuary's head embalmer of stealing the corpse to sell on the black market, she and El realize it's up to them to find the missing body.
Their search leads to a berserker Viking cult, obnoxious frat boys, and a pirate bar, among other dangers. But Imogene and El are determined to reunite the deceased couple, or die trying.
If you can imagine Agatha Raisin as a twenty-something, rockabilly ex-hairdresser with a weird connection to the dead, this book is for you.
Imogene's client has a special request. The only hitch is, the client is dead.
It's an ordinary day at Harry's Hair Stop until Imogene hears her favorite client's dying wish. Two days later, she finds herself in the embalming room at Greener Pastures Mortuary, bottle of hair dye and scissors in hand.
Styling her client's hair for the funeral is creepy. She'd expected that. But she hadn't expected the body to buzz like it was loaded with corpse caffeine. Was it her imagination, or was something more sinister at play? Determined to prove her sanity, she teams up with the mortuary's handsome night watchman to investigate.
Through a series of hair-raising twists, they discover the client's death, just like her hair color, wasn't as natural as everyone thought. In fact, this was only one in a string of murders. Someone is killing off the residents of Liberty Grove. It's up to Imogene to find the murderer before the murderer finds her.
If you can imagine Agatha Raisin as a twenty-something, rockabilly, hairstylist with a weird connection to the dead, this book is for you.
From USA Today bestselling author Judy Corry comes a passion and angst-charged romance about star-crossed best friends and the secrets that threaten to tear them apart.
I'm trying very hard not to be in love with my best friend. After all, we've 'been there, done that.' Or rather, we dated for three amazing weeks last spring before Scarlett's overprotective dad found out and made her break up with me.
And now that I've left her dad's church, there's no chance for us. I'm considered dangerous-a threat. Though, it's really the secrets I hold that scare Pastor Caldwell the most.
As long as I don't talk about why I left The Fold, her dad won't transfer Scarlett from our private boarding school before graduation.
But when Scarlett is set up with a college guy from their church, I know waiting on the sidelines is no longer an option. I need to break out of the friend zone. Fast.
If only doing that didn't require telling her the secret I've been keeping for six months.
Because when Scarlett discovers the truth, I might just lose her forever.
She swore off guys. He swore to protect her.
After a series of cheating ex-boyfriends, Emma goes on a self-prescribed boy cleanse and plans to spend her senior year focused on the important things in life, like deciding on a which college to attend. She has no idea she’s an heiress with a target on her back and boys are the least of her worries.
Arie thinks his college internship will be easy: pose as a high school senior and protect Emma. He never expected to fall for her.
Sparks ignite, but danger is near. If Arie can’t keep Emma hidden, her fate will be infinitely worse than falling for the guy she shouldn’t want.

I was there the day the wall fell from the sky. The day they gunned down my mother and permanently separated the rich from the poor. I was there the day my father decided he could force utopia on a certain half of the population and leave the rest to rot.
Pragmapax was once a great city, the only remaining outpost of civilization in our part of the world. But now, divided by an impossible wall, we've become two cities. Two peoples that despise each other. Two different ways of life-one idyllic and peaceful, the other savage and lawless. Civil war seethes in the air, breathing down our necks.
The only thing I know is that if war finally breaks out, I'm trapped on the wrong side of the wall.
Contains mature themes.
Book 1: It was the early 1900s when Obadiah (Oba) and Merriweather's (May's) parents died tragically, leaving them orphans at ten and eleven years old. When none of their nearby relations volunteer to take them in, they are set on a train to Arkansas to go live on their Amish aunt and uncle's cotton farm.But when they became teenagers and Oba received one especially cruel beating, he disappeared, leaving May to shoulder even more responsibility.
When she encounters Clinton, a young black man, on the road one day, she sees kindness in his eyes that she's been thirsting for. In that time and place, there is no chance of starting a friendship. But still, they find themselves meeting discretely, spending more time together than is proper, finding joy and solace in each other's company.
Book 2: At the end of Banished, Clinton has died and May is left to fend for herself in a city where she knows almost no one and has no way of earning a living. Perhaps the relatives who once turned her away had had a change of heart and would be willing to take her in or help her get settled on her own.
After being shuffled from home to home, May finds a welcoming friend in Clara. She doesn't trust men, and it doesn't take her long to realize May had her own painful past. In the midst of great darkness, May discovers a beacon of light.
Book 3: As May settles into family life, she has so much to be grateful for. Yes, there are plenty of challenges as she continues to heal from the demons of her past, but her loving husband and sweet children are the greatest earthly gift she could ask for. And having Oba in their home is almost more precious than she could have imagined . . . at least, if it weren't for his ongoing anger and hardness of heart.
When I found out I was cast opposite my crush in the school musical, I thought it was a dream come true.
Nash Hastings is the type of guy a 'good girl' like me should want. He's sweet, attentive, loyal, and best of all, he finally asked me on a date.
It's the perfect setup for an onstage romance to move offstage.
There's just one problem: Asher Park-the bad-boy rumored to have been involved in the mysterious disappearance of his ex last spring-is also in the play.
I know I shouldn't get involved with Asher. That he's possibly dangerous and the exact type of guy I always get burned by. But the more I get to know him, the less I want to believe the rumors.
Nash and Asher are sworn rivals and before I know it, I'm caught in the middle.
In most fairytales, the princess ends up with the prince. But this might not be that kind of fairytale.
