Supernaturals of Daizlei Academy Series

VAMPIRE ACADEMY meets WEDNESDAY ADDAMS in this completed young adult series by USA Today Bestselling fantasy author, Kel Carpenter . . . There's only one rule in the world I come from. Keep our existence a secret. Period. The day my sister broke that rule one too many times, I knew there would be consequences. I expected us to be sent to one of those schools for "troubled" kids—and maybe Daizlei Academy was, in a way. But really, it was far more complicated than that. You see, I thought that world had forgotten me. Forgotten us. For years we were left alone, and one day . . . we weren't. It was only when I got there that I remembered the second rule: Trust no one. Because in our world? They would kill me if they knew the truth of what I am. Daizlei Academy is a school for Supernaturals. And me? I'm so much more.   *Author's Note: This is a mature young adult urban fantasy that borders on new adult. It is labeled YA(+) for strong language and mature situations. As the heroine grows so does the content of the stories. Fans of Jaymin Eve, Jennifer L. Armentrout, Tracy Wolff, and Bianca Scardoni will ensnared by the slow-burn romance and strong heroine in this series.*

Trial by Heist is a full-length novella set in between Heir of Shadows and Scion of Midnight. This book is told from Johanna's perspective.   The Mother will guide you. The dragon will call. I used to believe that. I used to believe a lot of things.   My name is Johanna Kozak, and I have spent over a decade living in the shadows of our very dark world. I thought if I ran fast enough, I'd outrun my past. Until my best friend was murdered by the same person who killed my parents, and I was the one framed for it.   Now the Supernatural Council hold me prisoner, and if there's one thing I know—it's that being a half-breed in a Supernatural world is a death sentence unto itself. The Council Member who locked me up plans to execute me, but little does she know… she's not the only one with friends in high places—and mine are planning a prison break.

I am the first of my kind in a millennium. I thought that made me invincible. Untouchable. All it really makes me is a target…and a weapon. The Supernatural Council is going to war, and they've decided what better spear than the girl that can slay demons? So they blackmail me, and I become the property of the Council.  They think they own me, but you can't own what you can't control.  I thought the first year at Daizlei was hard...but the second might kill me. Either way, I'm not going down without a fight.   Perfect for fans of Kelly St. Clare, Leia Stone, K.M. Shea, and Michelle Madow.

My second year at Daizlei didn't kill me. It did something so much worse.  It killed her. And the world will never be the same because of it. Anastasia thought she could own me. The Supernatural thought they could control me. They didn't realize the darkness they courted until the walls of Daizlei came crushing down around us. I always thought of myself as hard. Unbreakable. Unbeatable. Until someone beat me. Now…I was broken and I planned to use all my sharp edges for the one thing I had left.  Revenge. **Warning: as the characters mature and grow so does the story. This novel is recommended for readers 16+. Perfect for fans of Jane Washington, Carissa Broadbent, Olivia Wildenstein, and Leia Stone.** 

Fans of Elise Kova, Holly Black, T.A. Lawrence, and Isla Frost will enjoy this gripping ending to the Supernaturals of Daizlei Academy series . . . If there is one truth that I hold to in my life, it is that when it rains, it pours. Perhaps that is why I built myself not for the everyday storms most experience. But for the hurricanes I have had to learn to withstand.   I know what it is like to feel your heart crack in half like a tree that snaps under too much pressure. I know the bone-deep, all-consuming, numbness that sets in when the wind and the cold and the water become too much. I know the desperation that claws under the surface as you try to wait through the night, and hope that come the dawn, the storm has passed. Perhaps, most importantly, I know how to survive. Or really, I am too spiteful to die.   Either way, my world is falling apart around me. Death and destruction are knocking on my door. And a storm is coming. One unlike anything we have ever encountered before.   Once a victim, now a villain--Lily is not the girl I knew. I'm not sure if my sister is even alive . . . or if the monster she's become is here to stay
