Monsters, magic, and supernatural beings living amongst us, but not everyone can see them (or even knows that they are there). Amari (and her missing older brother Quinton) can and have to balance living in the modern world and the one full of supernatural beings (and unsavory events). Fast paced, relatable, and a fun listen!”

Skandar and the Unicorn Thief

“I came for blood-thirsty unicorns; I stayed for the fun, spunky unicorn riders and their ornery steeds. Skandar's dream is to be a unicorn rider. When given the opportunity, he dives head-first into the Hatchery and the world of sky battles, powerful elemental magic, secrets, and shady villains. Along the way, he develops strong bonds between friends and embraces who he's meant to be. This is a fun read, playing off the 'Chosen One' trope. I really liked the characters and, of course, blood-thirsty unicorns!”
