The Birthright team is exhilarated by their win in the City Park at the beginning of summer vacation. Now that school has started again, Jinx and his friends are more worried about; new teachers, new friends, and who's the prettiest girl in school than the darkness slowly beginning to grip the city of New Day. A new designer drug of choice called Amber is sending Deltas into fits of rage and giving normal people uncontrollable powers. When the drug infects someone close to Jinx, he dives head first into the Lowers and begins searching for answers to an inconceivable question. Why is Amber laced with black magic? Dark days are coming. Secrets will be revealed. Hope will be taken away. And when it is gone, Birthright must come together to focus their energy into seeing the complete picture. When their eyes are open to the truth and everything is revealed, nothing will ever be the same again.

A fierce novel about the postpartum experience filled with “dark humor and brutal honesty” (People). A year has passed since Ari gave birth to Walker, though it went so badly awry she has trouble calling it “birth” and she still can’t locate herself in her altered universe. Amid the strange, disjointed rhythms of her days and nights, and another impending winter in upstate New York, Ari is a tree without roots, struggling to keep her branches aloft. When Mina, a one-time cult indie musician—older, self-contained, alone, and nine months pregnant—moves to town, Ari sees the possibility of a new friend. And despite her unfortunate habit of generally mistrusting other females, they soon become comrades-in-arms . . . With piercing insight about the isolation and unrealistic expectations suffered by new mothers in our society, After Birth is about pregnancy and childbirth that is “vicious, hilarious, and above all real” (The New York Times Book Review). “[A] scaldingly and exhilaratingly honest account of new motherhood, emotional exile, and the complex romance of female friendship.” —Karen Russell, author of Swamplandia!

Feared by humans, envied by werewolves, the Dire wolves are immortal shifters, obeying no laws but their own bestial natures. Once they were many, but now only a few remain, a dangerous wolfpack forever on the hunt… Jinx is a Dire wolf without a pack. Kicked out of the house by his king, and living with a vampire named Jez, Jinx has been trying to undo the damage he’d unintentionally caused during the reign of the Dire ghost army, which unleashed some of Purgatory’s worst monsters on the world at large. But when he hears that an unshifted Were is being held in a psychiatric hospital, he immediately drops everything to help her. Gillian Black has no idea what’s happening to her—and Jinx discovers that she’s not just any Were, but a Dire wolf from the original Greenland pack. He helps her escape and promises to keep her safe from the men—and wolves—who are hunting her, and teach her everything about being a wolf. He must also fight his feelings, wanting to claim her as his mate…at least until after he defeats the supernatural enemies that threaten all of them.
