New Release Months ago, minor death-god Justice Avery lost the best part of his world: his little sister. Everything has grown darker since then. He’s stuck in Slaughter, Mississippi, where he still hasn’t returned his escaped monsters to their case—and where the human monsters are often worse anyway. Bad enough Mystery Vance, the girl he’s crushing on, grows more beastly by the day. Worse, he can’t even touch her without being carried into another world. If that weren’t enough, a brand-new creature is stalking Slaughter, and this mon- ster can take its victim out of reality entirely, plucking people out of this world, and tucking them away into others. The only thing that will save the town is if Justice and Mystery learn to control the power created when they touch. If they can’t, the world might not survive, which is what Wendy, the fairy challenging Justice’s role as keep- er of monsters, wants.
