Dear Santa,
I’ve been a good girl this year. I’ve worked very hard and have been there for my family. I washed the dishes…eventually. I even let my husband have the remote control. All I ask for is these three young adult titles under the Christmas tree (could it be, that 1 or all 3, is in my Secret Santa Giveaway?)
Family Magic by Patti Larsen
Sixteen-year-old Sydlynn Hayle is the daughter of a powerful witch and a demon lord of the seventh plane. The trouble is, she just wants to be ordinary. Syd struggles to survive the minefield of her new high school while being torn between her attraction to football hero Brad Peters and the darkly mysterious Quaid Moromond. When her coven comes under attack, Syd is forced to face the fact she is a witch and only her power can save her family’s magic.
Existence by Abbi Glines
Seventeen-year-old Pagan Moore has seen souls her entire life. Once she realized the strangers she often saw walking through walls were not visible to anyone else, she started ignoring them. If she didn’t let them know she could see them, then they left her alone. Until she stepped out of her car the first day of school and saw an incredibly sexy guy lounging on a picnic table, watching her with an amused smirk on his face. Problem is, she knows he’s dead. What she doesn’t realize is that her appointed time to die is drawing near and the wickedly beautiful soul she is falling in love with is not a soul at all. He is Death and he’s about to break all the rules.
Manitou, The Sky People Saga by Lexus Luke
Magic bones. Telepathy. Murder.
A fifteen year old girl finds out that everything she believed in was untrue. Her parents’ murder was not random. The Ute Indian myth that she was adopted into could very possibly be real. And her mind, well, it’s developing abilities she never thought possible. With a modern-day Indian brave and a best friend at her side, Wray Sky faces danger, mysticism and love.
