Soul for Sale (Kindle Edition)

Soul for Sale
Soul for Sale (Kindle Edition)
By Cate Masters

Review & Description

When Madelyn sells her soul on UBuy, she’s not ready for the hell that’s unleashed. All she really wants is to make a success of her art. But the gorgeous stranger who buys her soul for $666 asks her to perform a few tasks. Tests of her true worth, Madelyn thinks, as each brings her – and her cat Brutus – into greater danger. And closer to the frightening shadowy figure stalking her. On All Hallows Eve, her final test will open the gates of hell. Or is it heaven?
Reviews described it as “outstanding,” a “riveting read… I couldn’t stop until I hit the last page.”When Madelyn sells her soul on UBuy, she’s not ready for the hell that’s unleashed.

Howlers #1: The Door and Other Funny, Scary Stories for Kids (Kindle Edition)

Howlers #1: The Door and Other Funny, Scary Stories for Kids
Howlers #1: The Door and Other Funny, Scary Stories for Kids (Kindle Edition)
By J.P. Waker

Review & Description

In "The Door," Xander's parents love redecorating their house, especially with antiques. But they go too far when the local haunted house is torn down and they rescue the front door.

In "The Force Spell," Hugh is really disappointed in his birthday celebration. His father shows up late — again — and then gives Hugh the wrong magic book. When Hugh finds a handwritten recipe for a spell that makes people do whatever you want, he thinks it's a joke. Then he decides to try it out.

In "The Squatter," Charlene is furious when someone breaks into her treehouse and wrecks it. She suspects her next-door enemy and sets out to catch him in the act. She lays a trap … but she catches something entirely different.

These stories also appear in the Howlers Treasury "Scary Stories for Insomniac Children". Great for reluctant readers or read-aloud fun.In "The Door," Xander's parents love redecorating their house, especially with antiques.
