It’s sure to be a most epic afternoon when the Supernatural Summer Tour stops at MG on Sunday, June 6, at 2:00 PM, with four fabulous young adult fantasy authors.


Kelley Armstrong concludes her first Darkest Powers trilogy with The Reckoning. Teen Chloe Saunders aspires to be normal – a stretch for a necromancer torn between her attraction to a werewolf and a sorcerer. Kelley is also the author of the Otherworld paranormal suspense series (set in the same universe as Darkest Powers, but without overlapping characters) and Nadia Stafford thrillers. Waking the Witch is due in August, and her collection, Men of the Otherworld, benefits World Literacy of Canada.


Kimberley Derting’s March debut, The Body Finder, received a Best Fiction for Young Adults nomination from the Young Adult Library Services Association. High school student Violet Ambrose has inherited her grandmother’s ability to hear the “echo” left behind by those who have died violently. When a series of young women meet violent ends in her town, she is determined to find the killer. The next book, Desires of the Dead, is due in early 2011.


Madison Avery, introduced in Prom Nights from Hell, is back in her second novel, Early to Death, Early to Rise. Upon her death, Madison discovered her destiny as a timekeeper, in charge of Heaven’s dark angels. When she decides to form a rogue band and bend the celestial rules, things quickly escalate beyond her control. Kim Harrison is also the author of the popular novels set in The Hollows, including February’s Black Magic Sanction, pitting Rachel Morgan against another witch.


Ellen Schreiber’s Vampire Kisses series exists in two complimentary incarnations – as novels, and as manga. Vampire Kisses 7: Love Bites, continues the love affair between vampire obsessed, goth girl Raven and her favorite mysterious dark-eyed hottie, Alexander Sterling. Raven hopes to find out from Alexander’s visiting BFF, Sebastian, the key to getting Alexander to make her a vampire as well and helping her escape Dullsville. Early 2011 promises Once in a Full Moon, her “New Series about a Hot & Heroic Werewolf!”

My name is Chloe Saunders. I'm fifteen, and I would love to be normal.

But normal is one thing I'm not.

For one thing, I'm having these feelings for a certain antisocial werewolf and his sweet-tempered brother—who just happens to be a sorcerer—but, between you and me, I'm leaning toward the werewolf.

Not normal.

My friends and I are also on the run from an evil corporation that wants to get rid of us—permanently.

Definitely not normal.

And finally, I'm a genetically altered necro-mancer who can raise the dead, rotting corpses and all, without even trying.

As far away from normal as it gets.

Seventeen, dead, and in charge of heaven's dark angels—all itching to kill someone. Madison Avery's dreams of ever fitting in at her new school died when she did. Especially since she was able to maintain the illusion of a body, deal with a pesky guardian angel, and oh yeah, bring the reaper who killed her to his untimely end. Not exactly in-crowd material. It's amazing that her crush, Josh, doesn't think she's totally nuts. Now Madison has learned that she's the dark timekeeper, in charge of angels who follow the murky guidelines of fate. Never one to abide by the rules, she decides it's time for a major change to the system. With the help of some unlikely allies, Madison forms a rogue group of reapers who definitely don't adhere to the rules of the heavens. But as she grapples with the terrifying new skills that come with being a timekeeper, Madison realizes she may not be prepared for what lies ahead—unless she gets some seriously divine intervention.

Violet Ambrose is grappling with two major issues: Jay Heaton and her morbid secret ability. While the sixteen-year-old is confused by her new feelings for her best friend since childhood, she is more disturbed by her "power" to sense dead bodies—or at least those that have been murdered. Since she was a little girl, she has felt the echoes the dead leave behind in the world . . . and the imprints that attach to their killers. Violet has never considered her strange talent to be a gift; it mostly just led her to find dead birds her cat left for her. But now that a serial killer is terrorizing her small town, and the echoes of the local girls he's claimed haunt her daily, Violet realizes she might be the only person who can stop him. Despite his fierce protectiveness over her, Jay reluctantly agrees to help Violet find the murderer—and Violet is unnerved by her hope that Jay's intentions are much more than friendly. But even as she's falling intensely in love, Violet is getting closer and closer to discovering a killer . . . and becoming his prey herself.
