ABOUT DEATH'S DAUGHTER'S:
"Action-packed and scorching, "Death's Daughter" is a rollicking good time from start to finish. Paranormal lovers rejoice, your new obsession has arrived!"—Hannah Whitten, "New York Times" bestselling author of "The Foxglove King"
After a lifetime of chaos, Jocasta has finally found her home with good friends, great classes, even a messy situationship with her former TA—a normal life.
Well, as normal a life as the only child of Death can have.
She’s always refused to embrace her father’s legacy. Instead of taking lives, she feeds on her classmates’ disappointments, failures, and rejections. Finals week has her feasting, and all is good.
Until Death ruins her life. Again.
Without warning, Death names Jocasta as his sole successor, making her a powerful ally… and a massive target. Devon, a descendant of Lust, claims to want to help her—for a price.
Jo will do anything to protect the people she loves and the life she’s worked so hard for.
Even if it means becoming a monster.

ABOUT S.A. BARNES:
S.A. BARNES works in a high school library by day, recommending reads, talking with students, and removing the occasional forgotten cheese stick as bookmark. She is the author of Goodreads Choice finalist "Dead Silence", "Ghost Station", and "Cold Eternity", and she has published numerous novels across different genres. Barnes lives in Illinois with more dogs and books than is advisable and a very patient spouse.

ABOUT THE PLACE WHERE THEY BURIED YOUR HEART:
A woman must confront the evil that has been terrorizing her street since she was a child in this gripping haunted house novel from the national bestselling author of "The House That Horror Built" and "Good Girls Don’t Die".
On an otherwise ordinary street in Chicago, there is a house. An abandoned house where, once upon a time, terrible things happened. The children who live on this block are told by their parents to stay away from that house. But of course, children don’t listen. Children think it’s fun to be scared, to dare each other to go inside.
Jessie Campanelli did what many older sisters do and dared her little brother Paul. But unlike all the other kids who went inside that abandoned house, Paul didn’t return. His two friends, Jake and Richie, said that the house ate Paul. Of course adults didn’t believe that. Adults never believe what kids say. They thought someone kidnapped Paul, or otherwise hurt him. They thought Paul had vanished in a way that was ordinary, explainable.
The disappearance of her little brother broke Jessie’s family apart in ways that would never be repaired. Jessie grew up, had a child of her own, kept living on the same street where the house that ate her brother sat, crouched and waiting. And darkness seemed to spread out from that house, a darkness that was alive—alive and hungry.

ABOUT CHRISTINA HENRY:
Christina Henry is a horror and dark fantasy author whose works include "The House That Horror Built", "Good Girls Don’t Die", "Horseman", "Near the Bone", "The Ghost Tree", "The Girl in Red", "The Mermaid", "Lost Boy", The Chronicles of Alice series ("Alice", "Red Queen" and "Looking Glass") and the seven-book urban fantasy Black Wings series.

Her short stories have been featured in the anthologies "Elemental Forces", "Cursed", "Twice Cursed", "Giving the Devil His Due" and "Kicking It".

She enjoys running long distances, reading anything she can get her hands on and watching movies with samurai, zombies and/or subtitles in her spare time. She lives in Chicago with her husband and son.
