Blood Will Tell
Eden is a Soul Eater. While that hasn''t meant much to her in the past, she''s pretty sure any minute now she''s going to go all "Carrie" on her eleventh grade class.

Good Choice Reading Reviews "Samantha delivers another great beginning to a sure to be phenomenal series...Blood Will Tell is a great read and I totally recommend reading it." Once Upon a Twilight Reviews "Blood Will Tell is a great start to Samantha Young''s new YA series... Eden is a kick ass character.. and Noah just makes me swoon so much." YA Indie Princess Reviews Noah is an Ankh. As an immortal Warrior, his purpose in life is to hunt down and kill Soul Eaters. Eden is Noah''s next assignment. Problem is... this is an assignment with a difference. Eden''s not your average, run of the mill, Soul Eater. Noah''s job? To test Eden for possible redemption. It''s a risky business. Especially if Noah awakens Eden''s inner monster. It would be kind of hard for Eden to listen to the angel on her shoulder when the devil on the other is telling her, her new best friend is a lying, scheming, immortal enemy... ....betrayal is such a bitch. So is Eden when you get on her bad side. YA Paranormal Fiction recommended for ages 16 and up. "I loved the mythology about the Blessed and the Warriors of Neith and Ankh.

Moon Spell
Enter a world of fierce wolves, stunning magic and romance... It''s bad enough feeling different among the human crowd, but feeling different among wolves? No one said returning to her pack would be easy, especially after ten years without them, but seventeen year old Caia Ribeiro is unprepared for the realities of the transition. Raised in a world where kids aren''t scared by bedtime tales of the bogeyman but by the real life threat of enemy supernaturals who might come creeping into their community to kill them in their sleep, Caia is used to the darkness; she''s used to the mystery and the intrigue of the ancient underworld war she''s bound to by chance of birth. What she''s having trouble with are pack members treating her with wary suspicion, the Elders tucking secrets behind their backs, and her young Alpha, Lucien, distracting her with a dangerous attraction from her decision to uncover the truth.
