Mary's Monster


Book Description

“Both timely and terrifying.” —Gregory Macguire, New York Times–bestselling author of Wicked Pairing free verse with over three hundred pages of black-and-white watercolor illustrations, Mary’s Monster is a unique and stunning biography of Mary Shelley, the pregnant teenage runaway who became one of the greatest authors of all time. Legend is correct that Mary Shelley began penning Frankenstein in answer to a dare to write a ghost story. What most people don't know, however, is that the seeds of her novel had been planted long before that night. By age nineteen, she had been disowned by her family, was living in scandal with a married man, and had lost her baby daughter just days after her birth. Mary poured her grief, pain, and passion into the powerful book still revered two hundred years later, and in Mary's Monster, author/illustrator Lita Judge has poured her own passion into a gorgeous book that pays tribute to the life of this incredible author.

But queens are still only human, and no matter how strong or good they are, the threat of danger always looms. Because the queen’s position is so precarious, young women are specially chosen to train as her heirs.

Alice and the Realm of Monsters


Book Description

NOT YOUR AVERAGE WONDERLAND.NOT YOUR AVERAGE ALICE.It began with a tarot reading gone awry and an innocent---okay, not so innocent---Halloween party. The Knight of Cups, the Knight of Swords, the Knight of Wands, the Knight of Pentacles... Allie was warned they would come for her. She didn't listen. And then there was The Moon. That goddess-cursed Moon card destroyed her life---although the visions of the goddess didn't help---and she's still trying to pick up the pieces. Now she has a cat that isn't a cat but IS kind of an a-hole, and four men that she can't control herself around. Seriously... Can. Not. Allie only went along with the madness the reading foretold to get answers about her past. She thought she was ready to know. She was wrong. Darkness has fallen in Wonderland.

Allie's knights want to help her find her lost magic, but first, they all have to survive the assassins the queen has sent for her. Only one thing is clear... her life is forever changed. There is no going back. Thrust into a world of monsters, magic, and mayhem, Allie has to find her way to this Demon Wonderland with the help of her loyal, arrogant, annoying, and PAINFULLY sexy knights.

She'll have to win.Introduction to an RH PNR and urban fantasy series.
