Grace is just your average teenage grifter. Adopted into a family of thieves, she can make the right friends in a new school, map out the estate they want to rob in her mind, and evade security cameras. But her carelessness with her emotions may bring them all down. The family dynamics are underdeveloped, but the mechanics of the heists ring true.

YA
At the end of Lies I Told, Grace escaped the police but left her brother behind. Now, the only way to free Parker is to bring in a bigger fish: their conman adoptive father. Although fans may be disappointed with the brief resolution of Grace and Logan's relationship, there's lots of suspense to keep the pages turning.

New Orleans teen Claire may be a non-believer when it comes to voodoo, but as a descendent of a renowned voodoo queen, she finds herself the target of a dangerous vendetta. Unable to rely on the voodoo Guild for help, Claire and other first-borns investigate on their own, exploring darker voodoo territory. Well-paced slightly paranormal entertainment with a knockout setting.

In this trilogy ender (Prophecy of the Sisters, Guardian of the Gate), Lia, accompanied by devoted Dimitri, continues her search for magical clues. She also makes a stand against Samael and comes to terms with her sister's apparent betrayal. Episodic plotting and an uninspired narrative voice work against the story, but its Victorian society setting and matrilineal mythology are intriguing.

YA
An ocean now divides Lia (Prophecy of the Sisters) from her evil twin, Ali. Unexpected betrayal and an unbelievably perfect romance punctuate Lia's journey to a mystical island where she learns more about her heritage. Somewhat excessive internalized first-person narration slows the story at times, but the first book's fans won't mind Lia's musings.

YA
Mystic revelations drive the plot in this melodramatic tale of twin sisters born to fulfill an ancient apocalyptic prophecy. While ambitious Alice blindly allies with the forces of evil, gentle Lia begins the long quest to save the world, aided by spiritualists, astral projection, and ancient books; the only clear conclusion reached seems to be that Zink is planning a sequel.
