Synopsis: "What do you think it's like for them... as in... death?"
"Death?" The word slithered off the end of her tongue as if it was a filthy sock she held out with the tips of her fingernails. "They're mortals, Morg. [. . .] Once you sing a soul to the Otherworld, you'll see that keening is an important task, but not one with which we should become emotionally involved."
Bound by duty, sixteen-year-old Morgan must begin forewarning human deaths. After all, that's her job as a newly-appointed Ban Sidhe (banshee), a death caller. Conflicted when the Inner Ring--the elite group of ruling Sidhe--assigns a fifteen-year-old boy, Aidan Tanner, as her first death to keen on her road to adulthood, Morgan must make a critical decision. Will she help end such a young life or follow her instincts and refuse to make the call? And if that isn't difficult enough, Morgan's help is needed as the Sidhe and human worlds are about to face a crisis foretold in the Thousand-Year Sidhe Prophecy. With the lingering pain of her mother's absence and the mystery of her father's recent disappearance, the young Ban Sidhe feels lost. Aided only by her overly-critical twin sisters and an eccentric seer, Morgan must confront her weaknesses and make the hardest decision of her life. Alone.

Synopsis: Twelve-year-old Jack knows they shouldn’t go, but is unable to persuade his parents not to take the planned trip to the Lake District, England.
Something was going to happen, but what?
The weird feelings he had were always so fuzzy and they didn’t always make sense. Maybe it was just because he’d have to spend time with his pampered cousin, Rosie? Anyway, it was nearly Christmas and what could go wrong with just staying in some cabin in the woods?
He was being stupid…all he had to do was ignore the way his belly churned and his head pounded.
He might be wrong after all.
This mystery adventure tale will drag you into the depths of an icy landscape where you may be afraid to breathe.
The setting is the Lake District in the UK; an exquisite location which almost becomes a character in itself... Rosie Morgan
What a gripping read! I was engaged from the opening pages. The characters were well-built and believable, the pace quick, and there were a few surprises... Marianne Sciucco
The author's descriptive skills are excellent. She wove a tale that drew you in and held you right the end... Yvonne Lee
It's a great adventure story that keeps you wanting more and cheering on the good guys. I loved it so much I read it again... Luzmaria
The pacing is non-stop thriller. I highly recommend it...Mallory Heart Reviews
Exciting, a few tugs at the heart-strings, interspersed with humor that can make you laugh out loud - who could ask for more? L. Gardner
Because of Powell's well-told, vivid, engaging scenes, I felt the emotions of the characters and was immersed in the action... On The Prowl

Synopsis: Did you know New York Book Review’s, WD La Rue, recommends Four Small Stones, The #2 Kindle Bestseller in Teen and Young Adult Action Adventure Series?***Warning*** Before you purchase this book please be aware that Four Small Stones could make your head fall off. Heads have been seen rolling down suburban streets without their bodies. Please do NOT purchase this book if you do not want people to see you chasing your own head. It will be embarrassing.
However, if you don’t mind being completely grossed out one minute and laughing your head off the next, please read on ...
Praise for Four Small Stones“I would read ANYTHING this man wrote.” That’s what Mr La Rue said. Plus he didn’t just read Four Small Stones, he had a little nap and then read all the way through to book 8, Final Straw! Pretty impressive.
Other 5 out of 5 star reviews for the Urban Hunters series ...“Mad writing skills you’ve got.” Jessica B, Publisher, BooksATrueStory
“From the first page to last, you'll be hooked. This story is probably one of the best new young adult books out there. It's a great start to a great series!”JB Cacdac, Singapore Review of Books
Overview of Four Small Stones ...Billy’s gotta find some girls. The problem is he’s an Aborigine from the Australian bush and all he’s got to wear is a loincloth. Not a good look in the city. And what’s worse, he’s never even seen a girl before. Could life get anymore difficult? Why yes it could. Billy could fall in love ...
But first he has to survive two devious older brothers and a couple of initiations to prove his manhood. Great.
More praise ...“Taaffe's series is a wonderful action series for boys and girls who don't mind a little grit in their stories.” Tammy and Alex Dewhurst, Canada
“I have just finished reading the first three in this series and they were the funniest books I have ever read in my entire life! By the time I had finished Four Small Stones I had tears rolling down my cheeks I was laughing so hard. I couldn't wait to read Tribal Scarring and Walkabout and they were both just as good if not better. Can't wait for number 4.” Wendy and Andres, UK
“While written for a younger age bracket, adult humour has been included. However it has been written in such a way that what seems like a funny incident to a younger audience, holds an underlying meaning for the adults. I highly recommend this series to everybody who is interested in reading a beautifully written story.” Pinky Pollock, Australian Book Review
URBAN HUNTERS is laugh-out-loud, gut-churning, heart-wrenching storytelling at its best. Unlike anything you’ve ever read, in typical Taaffe fashion. Hilarious as usual. Always surprising. Wonderful!

The Blackcoat Rebellion
Book 1
Author of The Goddess Test novels
A single test determined her entire future…until she was given a way out
Kitty Doe had one chance to prove she could be worthwhile to society. Instead, she walked out of her ranking test as a complete failure, with a permanent "III" tattooed on the back of her neck. At seventeen, she's facing a lifetime of cleaning sewers…and being separated from Benjy, the boy she's loved for as long as she can remember.
So when Kitty is offered a chance to escape her fate, it seems like an easy choice. If she says yes, Kitty will be Masked—surgically transformed into Lila Hart, the Prime Minister's niece, who died under mysterious circumstances. As a member of the Hart family—a VII—she will be famous. And for the first time, she will matter.
There's only one catch. She must also stop the rebellion that Lila secretly fostered, the same one that got her killed…and one Kitty believes in. Faced with threats, conspiracies and a life that's not her own, she must learn how to become more than a pawn in a twisted game she's only just beginning to understand.
"Carter has created an engaging heroine to root for in Kitty and a page-turner full of twists and turns." —Booklist
"The actions and plot twists will keep readers satisfied and waiting for more in the series." —School Library Journal
