Have you ever felt different from others? Have you ever felt split between nations and cultures and are your language skills so brilliant that you can’t speak one language perfectly because of the many you are able to speak? The poetry collection ”A Bright Mind, A Dark Reflection” is a book for you if you have felt completely incomplete or trapped in a world where you don’t belong. The poems are a mix of deep imagination and real life-experiences. In the book the unique mind is in focus; the weak, brave and powerful mind; as Ghazal Meer writes about the memory in a poem: “I wonder how I still breath, how my heart still beats, and how my mind still is capable of functioning when it remembers everything that has happened”
When Princess Angel finds a mirror in a haunted castle, her dark reflection comes alive. Her simple life shatters - she must find the missing pieces. Unless she puts it back together in time, she'll fade away forever. Facing Shadow the Witch, she becomes her own worst enemy. Will she be able to defeat the dark side of her soul that she can't control? Until her heart is broken, it will never be whole! It's up to a brave prince (named Paladin) and a white unicorn (named Starlight) to slay the Dragon King, who kidnapped her. Now she has to dream the darkness away, or she'll be trapped in a nightmarish reality turned upside-down. With the fate of her world hanging by a thread, she gets caught in a web of confusion. Can he save her before it's too late?
Merle and her friends Junipa, with mirrors for eyes, and Serafin, a rakish master thief, live in enchanted Venice under Egyptian occupation, and are swept into a dangerous mission to face their destinies.
If she doesn’t listen…she’ll be next. There is no such thing as ghosts. No one knows this better than Hannah Green. But after moving to Nile, the most haunted town in America, Hannah’s finding it hard to keep her head... There are rumors all over the island about the Rosecrest House and the haunted mirror that hangs in its hallway. And the last girl who moved in—left in a straitjacket. Will Hannah figure out the mystery of the mirror before it's too late? Or will she end up another victim of the ghost and become a dark reflection of herself?

As the heir to the largest shape shifter pack in North America, Alec Graves has inherited a savage, dangerous life. If he can successfully take over his father's pack, Alec will finally have a chance to make changes for the better, but he wouldn't be the first person to be corrupted by that kind of power. Human teenager Adri Paige is only days away from manifesting a supernatural ability that is as powerful as it is terrifying. Her only hope of survival lies in mastering her gift before it lures dark forces into her life. Separately, Alec and Adri have no chance of seeing another year. Together they just might be able to save the world. This omnibus edition includes the first three novels in the popular Dark Reflections Series (which has received more than 300 4- & 5-star reviews), and is nearly 800 pages of action, danger and romance set in one of the richest, most complex worlds in the genre. This Bundle includes: Bound: The only thing worse than having no family at all, is having a family that is out to hurt you. That would all be bad enough for a normal 17-year-old, but it's even worse for Alec Graves. A shape shifter's pack, his family, is the only thing stopping the other preternatural creatures out there from killing them. Alec's pack isn't just neglectful, he's pretty sure that his father wants him dead. Alec is about to be sent to the front lines of a war between his people and everything else that goes bump in the night. His only chance of survival is to convince everyone around him that he's the perfect soldier, but there are lines that Alec won't cross, not for any price. Hunted: The Perfect Weapon: Adri Paige can visit people inside of their dreams, where they are defenseless. The Ultimate Spy: Adri's power lets her ferret out anyone's secrets and even influence their waking actions. The World's Biggest Prize: Adri's power comes with a price. Dark forces hunt her, hoping to bend her gifts to their purposes. The Real Problem? Adri needs to make it through high school without letting anyone around her figure out her true capabilities—all while crushing on a guy she knows is probably trouble. Ambushed: Adriana Paige has survived not one but two vampire attacks in less than twenty-four hours, and unless she's able to master her ability to share other people's dreams, the attacks are only going to get worse. Taggart has promised to train Adri, but he's got even more enemies than she does and there's no guarantee that he'll be able to keep her from being caught in the crossfire. More than anything else, Adri wants to talk to shape shifter Alec Graves, but he's gone strangely silent. There's no way for Adri to know if that's because he's no longer interested in her, or if it's simply because he's still on the run from his ruthless father, Kaleb. As enemies both new and old start closing in on Adri, she's starting to worry that she might be forced into choosing between Taggart, the man who saved her life, and Alec, the guy to whom she feels inexplicably connected. Publisher's Note: Dean Murray's ongoing Reflection Series has been a stunning success with more than half a million copies in circulation, and a rich, complex world where choices—right or wrong—have real, profound consequences. Unsatisfied with the restrictions imposed on him by writing inside of the conventional series structure, Dean has returned to Sanctuary and the characters so many fans have fallen in love with. The Dark Reflections Series is an alternate timeline set in the same world and featuring many of the same characters as the Reflections Series, but with a profoundly different backstory.

Forever just got longer . . . Sometimes I’d dream of disappearing—shedding all my worries and living the free life. But it’s not all I thought it would be. Being dead is eerily similar to being alive. Except it’s incredibly lonely when your friends don’t know your secret. But that’s not the worst thing I’ve been hiding from them. There’s dark magic looming over Baylor, and lives are at stake. Their lives. It might be too late for me, but I’m doing everything I can to keep them safe. If only I weren’t the monster.
