Beggar Magic
By H. L. Burke
Click here to purchase!
In Gelia City, magic is music: a constant ever-changing melody known as the
Strains. Hereditary ability to use the Strains divides the city into two classes: the
wealthy Highmost, who can access the full potential of the Strains, and the
Common tradesmen, who are limited to mundane spells, known as beggar
magic.
With the help of the Strains, Common teen Leilani rescues and befriends a
gifted Highmost girl, Zebedy. The girls’ friendship opens Leilani’s eyes to the
world of the Highmost. She’s intrigued by Zeb’s close relationship with the
Strains, and longs to know them as she does. Zeb, in turn, comes to depend on
Leilani’s strength and intelligence, making them an inseparable team, ready to
take on anything with the Strains at their back.
As their unlikely friendship strengthens and endures, Zeb draws Leilani further
into the Highmosts’ intrigues. Beneath the polished, academic facade of the
Highmost manors lurks a threat to the Strains. An unknown force consumes
their music, leaving only heart-rending silence behind.
Leilani and Zeb will do anything to save their beloved Strains, but as the silence
grows, they face danger their previously sheltered lives could never prepare
them for. Whoever is behind the death of the Strains is willing to kill to keep
their secret safe. To preserve the Strains, the girls may have to sacrifice their
friendship, or even their lives.

Love is the Bridge
By Denise Weeks
"There is a land of the living and a land of the dead, and the
bridge is love."--Thornton Wilder
Anyone who uses a computer is vulnerable to cyber-attack
through a cell phone, Facebook page, e-mail account, or even
files that might be accessed by a remote system while connected
to the Internet. But who thinks it will happen to them?
Paige Campbell had never considered that she had anything to
worry about until she got the first crank call. By the time her
Facebook page is hacked and one of her files changed so that
she is suspended from college and accused of plagiarism, she's
beginning to believe that someone--or something--is out to get
her. Not a person or corporation, though, because it seems able
to do things that are possible only for a magician . . . or a ghost.
Can there actually be a "ghost in the machine"?
