Harlynn lives in a world ruled by magical creatures where humans, like her, have hardly any freedom. She's spent the last few years living on the streets, struggling to survive after watching a genie kill her parents. She’s all alone in the corrupt world, except for her best friend, Jason.
But she might lose him too unless she can steal a genie lamp in time to save his life.
Even as one of the best thieves in the city, the mission is going to be difficult for Harlynn. Plus, she'll have to go near a genie, a creature she despises.
Ashton is the lead singer of the famous paranormal band Ash East Arrow and is the genie Harlynn must steal the lamp from. He's cocky and ridiculously sexy and has the power to wish her away to a painful death.
Harlynn has seen the cruelty of genies and knows better than to get close to one. But when she messes up her mission, she might end up stuck with Ashton, and his band, for longer than she bargained for. Views: 782
My name is Marisol Vega. I am Latina. Beautiful. Mesmerizing. A young mermaid filled with intrigue and power. A thinker of profound truths. A speaker of words like stone and fire. I relish the thought of using my prose to bravely reveal secrets. Dangerous secrets of the Colombian government, of fanatic warlords and of my father's untimely demise.My name is Marisol Vega. I am Latina. Beautiful. Mesmerizing. A young mermaid filled with intrigue and power. A thinker of profound truths. A speaker of words like stone and fire. Yet no one hears me. My brothers scoff at me. They put their hands over their ears when I open my mouth. They forsake my opinions. Dismiss my recommendations as ‘baby sister babbling.’ My mother filters my speech, threading out my passionate discourse by labeling it as nonsense that will never attract a good Latino one day. My father cannot hear me. He is far away. Forever locked in the moist tropical earth of Colombia beneath an old Catholic church. No one sees me either. My high school teacher failed to notice my absence one day. Then my absence the next day. Then the next. She did not see my empty school chair. She did not want to know where I was. That I was here, in the factory, next to mama and Juanita and Rosa and all the others, sweating through a ten-hour day to earn two dollars per hour pressing buttons on a big machine that swirl hot colorful liquids together that smell so syrupy sweet and then cool to make such a disgusting candy that no one but Americans can tolerate to eat.…My words burn within me like boiling cauldrons. At night, when I rest on my small bed next to the window, I sleep without sleeping. I see words in my mind, dancing, flashing, twirling, dipping, and diving like sultry salsa dancers. I feverishly put them together to make wonderful stories that dazzle. Sometimes, I write them down and give my scribblings to Señor Pedro. The old shopkeeper is good to me. He tucks them away in his makeshift vault so as to save them for the day when fortune greets me and I am whisked me away to the university in Chile to gain culture and become famous and rich. I laugh at Señor Pedro’s dreams for me. But inwardly, I relish the thought of using my prose to bravely reveal secrets. Dangerous secrets of the Colombian government, of fanatic warlords and of my father's untimely demise. Views: 782

She saved the life of Jeb, the guy she loves, and escaped the machinations of the disturbingly seductive Morpheus and the vindictive Queen Red. Now all she has to do is graduate high school and make it through prom so she can attend the prestigious art school in London she's always dreamed of.

Glimpses of Wonderland start to bleed through her art and into her world in very disturbing ways, and Morpheus warns that Queen Red won’t be far behind.
If Alyssa stays in the human realm, she could endanger Jeb, her parents, and everyone she loves. But if she steps through the rabbit hole again, she'll face a deadly battle that could cost more than just her head. Views: 782
