    Summary

    Rumi is trying. Trying to learn how to be comfortable in her skin. Trying to learn how to lean on her friends. Trying to put all those feelings of worthlessness and self-loathing behind her. But it’s not quite as simple as she’d first hoped.

    When you’re born a mistake and told your entire life that your very existence is wrong, how do you turn away from that belief? How do you learn to love the marks that make you so different from the people you love the most?

    — or —

    Mira and Zoey love their friend, and they see her trying and they want to help. But old habits die hard, and they’ll need to relearn Rumi’s past as well as their own to coax their friend out of the hardened shell she constructed around herself after years of emotional neglect and learned self-hatred.

    But if each girl can reach out a hand in their own way maybe they can create a path toward a new light and a new love together.

    — or —

    The girls decide to go on tour again, face their pasts together, and maybe…just maybe fall in love along the way.

    Summary

    When left with a half-demon child, Celine decides to take advantage of the creature's nature and raise it as a weapon.

    Rumi knows what she is; she is a hunting dog aiding her demon hunters. She will be good, she will be useful; if not, she will be put down.

    Mira and Zoey hate this.

    Summary

    Nat is twenty one and she is tired. Sober for over a year, working the same four shifts (Thursday through Sunday, 4-8pm) at the same dingy used bookstore as a weird mutualistic favor to her mom’s friend’s aunt. Drowning in pity, left knee aching in the mornings, kept alive by the good grace of a Keurig and the crotchety shop cat’s need for semi-regular mealtimes, Nat is in no shape to rescue anyone.

    A stranger with dark hair and darker eyes, rambling about queens and goddesses, doesn’t fit well in her nonexistent plans.
