Shadowburbia Now .99 at Amazon

Young Adult Paranormal

Teen sisters Lola and Jules McCormick have faced many dangers on the road with their shadow warrior family, but nothing prepared them for their newest challenge – high school.

After their warrior mother has a midlife crisis, ditches their dad, and moves the family to the suburbs, the girls are forced into school for the first time. A private high school, Amber Hall is filled with the kinds of creatures the sisters normally hunt. Temperamental Lola is challenged to give up her “hit people and ask questions later” mentality as she also copes with missing her hot shadow warrior boyfriend. Painfully shy Jules just hopes to disappear into the crowd, but instead gains the notice of a sexy shifter.

Even as the sisters embrace this new life, an old enemy plans to turn their suburb into a bloodbath.
