that will soon be the children in Cory’s arms.Cory’s used to throwing herself physically into the fray, but as their enemy gets closer and more dangerous, she’s forced to choose between her safety and the people sworn to protect her. Her guardians are tired of worrying about Cory and her unborn children, and Cory is getting plain tired.The preternatural world isn’t her only worry—basic human birthing rituals are going to be a pain in the ass for a woman whose children will be sidhe. Cory’s mother is still fuzzy on the concept of a polyamorous multispecies marriage and sets her up with an OBGYN obsessed with the inhuman silhouettes of her babies.Cory doesn’t want her children born in the middle of a turf war, but the people she and Green have nurtured and fought for aren’t about to let her face this enemy alone. This battle is for queen and home, and the babies quickening in Cory’s body are a symbol of hope. Cory’s going to have to give up the idea of being a weapon and embrace the idea of being a mother, or she’ll let down those depending on her most.Rampant, Vol. 2 (Little Goddess #7)

They have everything they need: attitude, looks, instinct . . . and an alarming lack of musical talent. They&’ve barely started rehearsing when strange things begin to happen. As their world and Teresa&’s intersect, they&’re haunted by the echo of something that happened 160 years ago. &“Elegantly crafted, with delicate cartooning and a brilliant autumnal color palette, González&’s first full-length work delivers a quietly emotional evocation of the universal hopes and desires linking characters across centuries.&” —Library Journal &“This thoughtful, graceful look into young women trying to find their place in the world may appeal to other adolescent, frustrated artists.&” —Booklist &“A Gift for a Ghost is an uncommon fantasy that speaks to the perennial, difficult-to-verbalize issues that teenagers face.&” —BookPage &“A Gift for A Ghost is the exact opposite of the way so many stories are told today . . .
