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 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.
